I love bees, they are amazing. Don't like wasps though.

Have you seen bumblebee bats, they are the cutest little things ever and so tiny! 🙂

There was a hornet in my shoe once and I put it on. It sucked.

I didn't know hornets were into foot fetish, was it any good?

I'm glad we have broadened this to include Hornets.
My all time most hilarious moment in life was watching my brother in a swimming pool in a French villa trying to avoid a hornet.
The pool was large, my brother the sole occupant. The Hornet became fixated on the orange nose guard on his goggles. By fixation I mean 'wanted to sting it constantly with a most aggressive intent'.

At first he tried diving. But the Hornet simply hovered and waited. Each time he came up for air the attack continued. When he tried the steps, or lifting himself out, the increased head movement seemed to incite the Hornet. The attack became sustained and my brother was forced to dive once more.
I sat and watched this go on for 6 or 7 minutes, beside myself with uncontrollable laughter, until my brother (clearly retaining his presence of mind under the water) threw his now removed goggles to one side, whilst fleeing to the other.
The Hornet ignored the goggles, and just as he got to the top step it stung him right in the shoulder.

Well maybe you had to be there......

There are species of wasp which sting cockroaches or caterpillars and make zombies out of them. The larva feeds on the host, keeping it alive as long as possible by not eating vital organs...

True, but it is in these special moments that life becomes worthwhile.

Wasps are bad, but Hornets? Big mo-fo wasps, with worse stings, hunting in packs? Whose idea was that?

Yeah, I hate 'em. Of course I hate everything with too many legs and stuff.

A wasp stung me on the knob when I was two years old. This is my mother's favourite anecdote about my childhood to tell people.

Contrary to the evidence of current measurements, the swelling has in fact gone down.
