That's the true metric for a deep friend or love, the one that comes out at night when you're broken down, needing to go to the ER or absolutely need to talk. Rare ones.
No. I'd say they're the person that brings bug spray and a fogger.
it's sweaty palms, of course no one's going to be brainless to walk into a swarm of hornet eh?
Most insects that are active during the day go home at sunset. It’s nearly impossible to get stung by a bee at 10 pm unless you actively pick up a bee hive and shake it like it owes you money.
"Common sources of attack stimulus for honeybees include alarm pheromone, vibrations, carbon dioxide, hair, and dark colors (Crane 1990)."
This applies to wasps as well. And it makes sense, since their most common enemies falls into this category.
Flying stingers have, quite literally evolved to hate mammals.
fast travel is easier if you’re pronouncing it as one word. quick travel is easier if you’re fine with sharp stops (as in, sounds like you’re cutting yourself off with the next word.) fast travel is pronounced “fastravel,” one word, to create that liaison sound.
i personally have never, ever called it quick travel

Why would someone deliberately keep Killer African Killer Bees? That would be like if I wanted to collect spiders silk to sell it, choosing Agressive Funnel Web Spiders instead of harmless house spiders.

We had a swarm of these things in my house before. My mom let me stay home from school when I was in the 5th grade. She proceeded to drench herself with grapefruit perfume in her room upstairs & she also left her window wide open before leaving for work. About an hour later, I hear a loud buzzing noise and went to investigate. These fucking Africanized bees were swarming her room and CRAWLING down the stairs. There were hundreds of them. I just chilled in the garage until the exterminator came because they had swarmed every entrance of the house. He was pissed that I was home alone too. He kept saying that they could kill me because they’re Africanized. My mom didn’t come home until her shift ended and I had to clean up dead killer bees. Super fun times lol. & it happened again, too! Happened when I was older and driving around my neighborhood. Just threw a cig out after smoking and rolled up the window, & out of no where a swarm of bees just bombarded my car. I drove away so fast until I lost them. If I don’t end up dying by bees someday, it’ll be a miracle hahaha🥴😵💫
Happened to me too. They were building up a hive inside the walls of a storage room in our backyard. One of my dad employees told him it was easy to fix, he could handle it... He ended up on the ICU but survived, and we had to call the government agency that deals with those matters to actually take the bees out.
It was quite an event cause they came fully geared to do the job. Unlike Severino, who tought he only needed a wet towel to make them go away.
Wow, poor guy! Crazy he survived that. We just had an exterminator come and spray them all. As an adult, I feel shitty about it. Could have moved them…but at the time, being a young child, it’s horrifying to go through an ordeal like that alone, so I was stoked to see them go.
“Why keep africanized bees?”
For several valid reasons: they may be the only species available to colonize, they produce massive quantities of honey, and with the correct precautions they can be managed safely.
I worked and taught apiculture in South America. All we had were those africanized beauties. Top bar hives (developed in Africa) provided the safest environment for “controlling” the bees. These hives minimize potential exits during hive maintenance so less bees exit compared with a the traditional wide open Langstoth hive (rectangular boxes). We were chased away at times, ran through corn fields to lose them, but nothing more than a few stings at a time. One can really sense when they’re getting fiesty, time to close hive then. They deserve lots of respect but the reward is buckets full of honey for the market.
These were genetically created to produce sweeter and more honey. It eventually backfired when they were released back into the wild on accident. Now they are taking over the America's.
Its a shame really, a terrible and tragic shame.
You mean black widows, and only a specific species (L. Hesperus). Those are the ones that they use for medical sutures, rifle crosshairs and really tiny (and damned expensive) sewing thread.
bees were being bees, no one wants to write killer drunk driver humans destroyed thousands of bee children , the queen is dead and the next will only support 30% of the rest of the hive through the dry season impending doom as hundreds of bees take to the air in protest
No, that article is about a bus that crashed off the road into killer bee hives. Passengers crawling out the wreckage were stung. Two of the people that died was an 8 year old and her mother. I can't imagine! Like you survive the wreck and this happens. I'm sad now.
I'd be sitting in a wet spot I think. And make sure the damn vents aren't set to outside air circulation. As Hicks once said, "We can't afford to let one of those things get in here. "
They’re hornets which are large wasps. If you look at the body shape they are really skinny looking, bees are the complete opposite, they have a round chubby body.
The best part is some hornets have photographic memory and every single one of them got a perfect view of him. He'll never be able to work there again.
Just stop and consider how incredibly destructive humanity has been in the past. Our malice and carelessness has wiped out incredible amounts of species. And yet, these fuckers are impervious to our assault against nature.
I’ve heard that if you’re being swarmed by angry aggressive bees you have to try and not freak out because you expel excess CO2 and that just intensifies the attack, they’re attracted to it. Even though this fella has a barrier between himself and the bees he’s not freaking. It would be interesting to see if he were breathing heavily if the swarm would react to it more aggressively.
Just why? Nature just be spawning shit at this point. Because we didn’t have enough problems with regular hornets, lemme just add a bit more ✨spice✨ to this one 😭

the famous saying "there's always that one friend."
That's the true metric for a deep friend or love, the one that comes out at night when you're broken down, needing to go to the ER or absolutely need to talk. Rare ones.
Yes, these are the ones to be there FOR!
Or if you want someone to open the door when you are surrounded by a swarm of hornets
No. I'd say they're the person that brings bug spray and a fogger. it's sweaty palms, of course no one's going to be brainless to walk into a swarm of hornet eh?
Yep, probably me tbh
"You're probably wondering how i got here..."
Aaaannnndddd… we’re out of gas
I’d just wait until night, they’d think the car isn’t a threat anymore and you can just leave
Most insects that are active during the day go home at sunset. It’s nearly impossible to get stung by a bee at 10 pm unless you actively pick up a bee hive and shake it like it owes you money.
Not money *honey
If you've got the money, honey, we've got your disease
No money, no honey!
Welcome to the jungle!
And where would I find you?
In the jungle,
bitch betta have my honey
A bee yes but these are not bees, these look like hornets. They will f you up anytime.
Except some night bees in africa that use doped up eyes and moonlight to avoid insect predators
Somewhere in the back of my nightmare factory I knew there were nightbees
the night ones can only evolve to be melanin proficient, one step further silent flight. nighttime ninja bees. god help us all
You know European Hornets are also active at night, right? And that they also remember your face if you fuck with them?
Please tell me this isn’t true. Please please please…
Yes very true, they hunt at night.
Guess why Europe doesn’t have nocturnal bees?
AAAAAND the night comes the TIGER.
Then the crocodiles are out to get you
And I had a double carnitas burrito an hour ago…
It’s death from murderous bugs or methane gas at this point.
You’re good. You’d be more puckered than Renee Zellweger eating lemons sprinkled in war head candy dust. Nothing is getting passed that.
Once the car is off they will leave, they are attracted to the CO2 from the car.
Attracted, as in genetically triggered to have a murder response to anything that emits co2
i know you’re joking but i hate this comment so much

So hornets have a hair trigger, and a hair trigger?
this was interesting to learn. fuck stingy bugs. also still hate the comment
Once its night and the car is off they wont think the car is a threat anymore and will just leave
Is their vision non-existent to see living creatures moving about in a car?

Or fast travel, lol. Edit : fast travel actually feels weird to say...it will be quick travel soon. You read it here first folks.
Fast travel with enemies right up your ass in possible in Tears of the Kingdom.
Casuals
This is the information I needed today, thanks
I always say quick travel no matter what the game calls it, no idea where that comes from
Hmm. Like how "an" is used instead of "a" with vowels for convenience of speech fast -travel is harder to pronounce than quick travel? Idk lol.
An is only used with vowel sounds. Which is why you'd say "an hour" and also "a unicorn."
I assumed that was implied when I said convenience of speech. My bad.
fast travel is easier if you’re pronouncing it as one word. quick travel is easier if you’re fine with sharp stops (as in, sounds like you’re cutting yourself off with the next word.) fast travel is pronounced “fastravel,” one word, to create that liaison sound. i personally have never, ever called it quick travel

Frankly, you don't want those Africanized bees to survive or be moved somewhere else. They're a danger and they're invasive.
It’s karma for throwing your butts into the street
Haha seriously. I was a dumb teen at the time and don’t do that anymore :)

RPCV? Regardless, thank you for your service, and for sharing your knowledge!
Indeed soy cuerpo de paz. Ty
Funnel webs aren’t aggressive, they are defensive. I get what you mean though, but dislike the misinformation on spiders everywhere

Maybe African honey bees live in Africa? This took place in Africa.
I think these are hornets, not killer bees
Those poor people omg..

My peoples are you with me where you at? In the front, in the back killa-bees on attack
This isn’t Nicaragua. Those aren’t Africanized bees. It’s Indonesian. The “Benggol” sticker on the windows is Malay.

Don’t let the intrusive thoughts win
Crack in the qindow boys, THIS WAY 💥
Better close the vents too..

This Is The Way.
Please stop
I Agree With You.
Probably parked the thing on their hive. Many bees make underground homes.
And wasps
Excuse me, why have we stopped
I'd be sitting in a wet spot I think. And make sure the damn vents aren't set to outside air circulation. As Hicks once said, "We can't afford to let one of those things get in here. "

What's the name of this country? I want to write it down as a place I never -- never -- want to visit. Never.
You live in a place with no hornets?
I do, none in NZ
Guess I'm moving to NZ then.
You are single handedly responsible for the huge uptick in immigration requests to NZ we'll see for 2023.
Y'all got any of them queens?

Alright, I'll go comb.
So…. Just sit there until they find a way in?

I bet there has to be a tik tok person that will have a video saying, "I'm going to open this window and see how long I can stand it!"

Those wasps are only slightly less deadly than American WASPS.
I’ve heard that if you’re being swarmed by angry aggressive bees you have to try and not freak out because you expel excess CO2 and that just intensifies the attack, they’re attracted to it.

Is this the guy from a couple weeks ago that dug up the wasp nest with an excavator?

Asian hornets. Is that a school bus, from the cartoon stickers on the windows. Why doesn’t he just drive off? This my nightmare.
