Bees are evil!!!

No, wasps are evil - bees are friendly.  Bee's will allow you to stroke them whilst collecting pollen - next time you see a Bee on a flower, try it. Wasp's however will sting you at any opportunity so never try to stroke one.

My neighbour had chickens, then came the foxes.
Chickens make a terrible sound when the fox is chasing them, and that last squel when his teeth goes in - nasty.

My chickens keep getting confused and worried by a local ginger cat. When ever its around and they are out in the garden they make a terrible racket and sometimes come and peck on the patio door to attract our attention.

Never kept them, but a few months back I wa camping on a farm site that let the chicken roam around.  Lovely animals, they came at sat right next to us every evening, one managed to get in to the tent. 

Taste great in a curry as well.

When I was little I was never allowed over the alloments by my house but some naughty kids fromover the road made me go over there with them and I got stung by a bee on the ear and it hurt ALOT - plus then I had to tell my mum the truth about where I had been as well!

Thats why bees are evil

although granted wasps are probably worserer

So the moral of the story is....don't let a wasp sit on your ear. If a bee settles in the aforementioned location, don't try and stroke it. If a chicken lands on your ear, make sure you are wearing ear-muffs or headphones in case a fox or ginger cat is in the vicinity ! In addendum, just wait 'til you get stung by a hornet ! Double ouch.

  Gordon Bennett. You really ought to get out more Ben. Yes, wasps sting. And so do chickens, albeit not too seriously since the thickness of the beak compromises their ability to penetrate the skin.

  You are quite correct in both respects. First they bite, next they swallow. Then comes the sting. But I don't really want to keep harping on about the ex-wife.

Now that, weirdly, I believe and yet I've never been bitten by a snake. Why don't I believe, why do a lot of people not believe that wasps sting?
