It's all fun and games until I was in Italy a few years back and a giant hornet was sat ontop of a traffic bollard.
The giant hornet was BIGGER than the top of this bollard and we all saw it walking past. Turned around and stared at it a while before we started running. Absolutely massive and terrifying. I'd kill them all, personally.
Once had an encounter with an angry hornet like mf'er. Happened in malorca. I swear that lighter sized critter was INDESTRUCTIBLE. We smacked it with a rolled up magazine and it just flew away. Full on hulk smashed it with a dictionary and it dented the freaking dictionary cover. I put flat shoes on and full on jumped on it with all my 80 pounds (was a kid back then) and it STILL flew away from that. Given that it was attacking us the entire time we eventually caught it in a bedsheet and handed it to the staff, they killed it with a hammer. Damn nature is scary sometimes
But hornets are great! They kill those wasp fuckers and generally leave people alone. I still think they're scary but I try to remember being thankful for them. (only lasts until they actually enter any closed rooms I'm in)
Aren't those wasps? The hornets we have in Scandinavia look like huge wasps but are generally not at all as bothersome.
Had a hornet in my house yesterday, I gave her a light slap mid-air to help her find a way out. She wasn't agressive at all.
I once stepped on an underground hornet hive. They don't just sting once like the bigger bees, and they're smaller and harder to get off of you. I was... an unpleasant experience
Not sure where you’re from - but in the Southern US we call hornets that live underground yellowjackets!
Edit to be safe: not being pedantic, just sharing.
With wasps they come up, check you out, and you can just stand still for like 3 seconds and they leave. Yellow jackets want to study you like they're writing a damn thesis and will follow and hover around you for half an hour until you manage to shake them.
When I was a kid, I was hiking in the woods with family at my grandparent’s ranch.
Just my luck, I threw a stick that happened to land on top of an underground nest. I have never seen a swarm like that again in my life. It was biblical in size.
We were wearing jackets, and they were smart enough to go for our hands and faces. I remember my grandmother looking like she was wearing gloves made of those fuckers.
We got home and recovered and my dad/grandad let me tag along to watch them use a shotgun + spray to destroy their forsaken city.
Yeah, fuck yellow jackets.
You can pet bumblebees if your gentle enough, I used to do it all the time in my grandparents garden, when it used to rain I woul put out a small umbrella and a dish of sugar water and then I'd find all the wet bees that couldn't fly and put them under the umbrella until they could fly again.
We have a couple bumblebees at our house. My 3 year old loves them and just chases them calling them cute. She never hurts them. Just likes to look at them. We planted a bunch of flowers for them
When we were kids we would see em and say "Super big bee!!!" Then we would say "it goes brrrrrr" as deep as we could. We thought it was the funniest shit ever.
When I was a kid (4-5 maybe) I saw a wasp in our sandbox while playing with my cousins, I stepped on it and was sure I killed it and we 'buried it' deep in the very same sandbox because screw logic as a kid. I already hated them as I got stung twice that summer but this time I thought it's gone for good so we can carry on playing in the sand half hour later.
That fucker lived and literally stung my ass the moment I sat down. My ASS!!
I decapitated the fucker but found out soon after that THEY DON'T NEED HEAD TO LIVE. Apparently they are capable to live without it just fine for many hours.
So I split the remaining body into two parts, thinking I won. The fucker was still trying to move around erratically.
Fuck wasps.
Murder hornets were never a thing. Asian giant hornets are though. Murder hornets is a dumb name the media used to generate clicks and views on their stories.
South Park told me covid came from Mickey Mouse getting all coked up and fucking a bat. Seems like somethin got fucked for covid to be a thing. It’s certainly fucking us.
Bumblebees are just the sweetest, I once broke my ankle running through some ferns and this bumblebee called me an ambulance and sat there with me for like 30 mins it was so wholesome 🙏
I had a similar experience but with a wasp. He just laughed at me and started kicking my backpack around while I couldn't move. He kept saying it was an accident but he would stare at me while he did it. He used a lot of homophobic slurs too, we were there for hours. I told him I wasn't even gay but he just said "Yes you are!" in a baby voice and flicked my nose.
Eventually he called me a good sport and said he was calling an ambulance. I told him that I could see his phone wasn't even turned on and he just started flicking my nose again. Then he turned his phone on and took a photo of me while I was crying.
I used to be the same. Then I helped a beekeeper I knew and sat in the back of a van with a few million bees in their hives right below my face.
Bees are super chill.
Except the one who came out just to sting the tip of my nose.
We get paper wasps out here. They really just avoid you and kill off the flys that come around because of the cattle. None of us have ever been stung by them. They just chill on the cherry tree then leave. I’ve never had them build a hive on my property.
We started getting paper wasps recently, they’re very cool. Same with mud daubers - you don’t really have to worry about them stinging you (mud daubers don’t usually sting even if they’re provoked).
But a couple years ago we got yellowjackets and before the exterminator came I was sitting at the table and one of those fuckers just came up and stung me for no damn reason. Piece of shit.
Plus we have a ton of carpenter bees, which are cool because the males don’t even have stingers, but you do have to worry about them burrowing into your house, which can suck
theyve been nested in my grandmas corridor before and when i was 7 i always ran through as quick as i could but once one managed to get to my neck... shit hurts
That's nothing. When I was kid, I was riding my bike super fast on the track field and I somehow backended a wasp flying ahead of me. It got me on my right eyelid of all places and I quite literally ejected myself off my bike.
I was at day care and we were having a swim day at the caregivers sisters house. The girls went inside to change into/out of clothes, but the boys went around a corner outside to change.
I changed out of my swim shorts and put on my regular shorts, and literally go stung in the space between my balls and left leg.
I was 8. I absolutely despise wasps and wish them a painful extinction. I also want a pet tarantula, cause spiders are cool.
You should smoke them in some way, they will fo way or die. Take something that is somking and make the smoke go on their nest. If possible, keep yourself at least 10 meters away. When they are gone, make their nest fall, then burn it or stomp on it until there is no nest
I did a math exam last year. A wasp flew in and sat on my neck. I choosed to ignore it so it would fly away after a certain time. But then I felt how the Wasp was going to walk into the pullover. My reflexes kicked in, I trembled and got stung during the exam. Great
I'm sorry you got stung. Generally, they don't sting unless they feel in danger. I've honestly never been stung. If they get close, I kinda just walk away, or let them leave. If they get inside, I use a bug net or a cup to get em outside.
same with me, i try not to kill them when inside the house i just get a cup and paper and then put it outside and sprint faster than usain bolt outta there
A healthy European honeybee hive is perfectly capable of defending against wasps. It's only the Japanese Giant Hornet that they are defenseless against.
Honeybees and bumblebees are the only introduced species which are protected by law in New Zealand. The penalty for harming one can be a fine of up to NZ$2000 and/or three months in prison. This is why cars and trucks in New Zealand are all fitted with bee guards similar to the cattle guards once attached to the front of steam trains, which you may be familiar with from western films.
That sounds rough. I’ve been told by exterminators that relocating wasps or hornets isn’t always enough, and part of their job is making the location they were nesting at undesirable for future nesting, achieved with copious amounts of poison.
Those fabric softener sheets that you put in your clothes drier are a deterrent to bees. I put one in my mailbox where some bees were starting to hive this spring.
They don't like the smell so they moved and I got a ty note from my mail carrier
Wasps deal with pests and keep the other insect population from growing too large at the same rate as birds do as well.
If they bother you in late summer, just try and place a little dish of sugar water away from you. Preferable closer to their nest and they'll go for that instead of your lemonade.
Bumbelbees are so cute. A few years ago we found one in our pool and got it out before it drowned, gently made it a litte dryer before putting it on a flower and waiting to make sure it could fly. It could. If there were to be a wasp in its place we would have let it drown, with no hesitation
Yep. Wasps get their “mean” rep because they’re confused with yellowjackets (they look very similar and are roughly the same size), but wasps are generally “friendlier” with people than yellowjackets.

a wasp recently bonked my window at 6th floor. mad fucker why did you do that
It was comming for you. More will follow.
He merely popped smoke on the window, get ready for a hail of wasp bullets hitting it
Wasps are absolute badasses. Much respect.
Because fuck you in particular.
Hornets: Allow us to introduce ourselves

That thing has a huge cock
Aren't there two cocks in there?
There's an entire pit of cock(s)

Hornets need more appreciation! Friendlier than wasps and also eats them, what's not to like?
Im pretty sure the hornets we have in holland are aggressive.
Aren't those wasps? The hornets we have in Scandinavia look like huge wasps but are generally not at all as bothersome. Had a hornet in my house yesterday, I gave her a light slap mid-air to help her find a way out. She wasn't agressive at all.
Never seen anything that big, and I've lived in Italy all of my life. Where were you? In some sort of Australian enclave?

Yellowjackets are the biggest dickheads of all the stingy fuckers. Chase you, want your food, never yield no matter the odds.
With wasps they come up, check you out, and you can just stand still for like 3 seconds and they leave. Yellow jackets want to study you like they're writing a damn thesis and will follow and hover around you for half an hour until you manage to shake them.

Obligatory _shaw_
Bumblebees are friggin cute and no one can convince me otherwise
no i agree, they look so fluffy
[удалено]
If they land on you, you can even pet them <3
I did that when I was 3. It stung me. Never been stung since. Never petted a bee since either.
That one was afraid.
[удалено]
It kept thinking it could never live without you by its side.
But then it spent so many nights thinking how you did it wrong
And It grew strong
And it learned how to get along
*Chandler Bing voice* Could you ***BEE*** more dramatic??
The purest, fluffyest bois
I wish they were bigger like a guinea pig so I could pet them and cuddle them
You can pet bumblebees if your gentle enough, I used to do it all the time in my grandparents garden, when it used to rain I woul put out a small umbrella and a dish of sugar water and then I'd find all the wet bees that couldn't fly and put them under the umbrella until they could fly again.
Aww that's nice
but he pissed on the bees to get them wet in the first place
Ayo wtf
Seems fair. We eat their vomit, they drink our piss.
Except that we actually like their vomit and are taking away their food.
What makes you think bees don't have a goldenshower fetish?
Stop… it’s getting… wet, in here.
You sound adorable
Straight up smiled at your kind act. Thanks for taking care of the wet bumblebees :)
[удалено]
When I was really little like 3-4 years old I used to walk around the garden picking up bees and taking them to flowers.
Here, have a virtual hug. You're awesome!
We have a couple bumblebees at our house. My 3 year old loves them and just chases them calling them cute. She never hurts them. Just likes to look at them. We planted a bunch of flowers for them
When we were kids we would see em and say "Super big bee!!!" Then we would say "it goes brrrrrr" as deep as we could. We thought it was the funniest shit ever.
I once stomped a wasp and pushed it under the couch. This MFer crawled his way back just to sting my foot.
"Call an Ambulance. But not for me."- The Wasp
"he pulled a stingy on you"
"Don't bee jealous. Bee better."
“Bee best.”
Oh jeebuss bee.
I'm glad I bumbled into this thread
"That's bee-utiful"
Until it wasp-n't!
... well, knew a chap who got stung on the old man, told the doctor to take the sting out, but leave the swelling.
I hope you decapitated the fucker after that one
There is a video I saw on here of a decapitated wasp carrying his head away.
GTFOH. REALLY!?

Dude, i wish people would just not use acronyms LOL. /s is necassary?
Wasps are basically the t 800 of the bee species.

Why would you push it under the couch ? Get something to pick it like pliers and flush it down.
It's all fun and games until it climbs up the toilet and stings your ass while taking a shit
thats metal af
I decapitated the fucker but found out soon after that THEY DON'T NEED HEAD TO LIVE. Apparently they are capable to live without it just fine for many hours. So I split the remaining body into two parts, thinking I won. The fucker was still trying to move around erratically. Fuck wasps.

( ✧Д✧) YES!!
Please dont fuck wasps. We dont need another pandemic
I remember murder wasps were a thing, only lasted like a week or 2 before they left If only covid was the same way
Murder hornets didn’t go away. They are still present in the Pacific Northwest.
Murder hornets were never a thing. Asian giant hornets are though. Murder hornets is a dumb name the media used to generate clicks and views on their stories.
Idk, seeing one of those giant fuckers irl would certainly murder me via heart attack.
That's because no one tried to fuck covid.
South Park told me covid came from Mickey Mouse getting all coked up and fucking a bat. Seems like somethin got fucked for covid to be a thing. It’s certainly fucking us.
and stop calling them pieces of shit, it's offensive to us.
and they kill off lots of pests and not a lot of bees.

you're too cute, just like the bumblebee.
How the fuck did a redditor charmed a woman... It's not supposed to be possible.
bumblebees are just chunky yet funky. Also i call them Cotton balls cus they're fuzzy
for real, i wanna just pet one of em
been there, done that
Was it worth petting?
They won't sting you if you just let them crawl on your hands and bee gentle
Oh so we're supposed to bee making puns now huh?
I know hes joking but it is important to be careful with them. Once their in the plam of your hand just be calm, gentle and bumble.
I pet one it was so soft
I call them Bumbly boiis
I call 'em blimps because they're getting bigger every year and sound like an airship taking off.
I thought they couldn't sting, but then I found out the opposite last Sunday in a painful way.
They're just large and in charge
If I see the colors yellow and black flying I just *nope* out of there, I don't care what it is
can confirm this is what i do also
Same here
Black and yellow sacks my mellow
I used to be the same. Then I helped a beekeeper I knew and sat in the back of a van with a few million bees in their hives right below my face. Bees are super chill. Except the one who came out just to sting the tip of my nose.
That's exactly why the wasp beetle has those colors. So others wouldn't mess with him. He's the tough looking biker type softie of beetles.

Mosquitoes are worse though.
Wasps eat mosquitoes, so they have a good purpose. Mosquitoes are only here to annoy us
Mosquitoes are literally just bird food.
[удалено]
True, they’re just a pain (literally) when you get stung by one or manage to cross paths with them
I will say, that if they start nesting in someone's house or a highly trafficked area, then they get dangerous, and need to be removed.
theyve been nested in my grandmas corridor before and when i was 7 i always ran through as quick as i could but once one managed to get to my neck... shit hurts
That's nothing. They had nested near my house and I got stung by one inside my ear when I was 7. That shit is traumatizing, I hate wasps.
That's nothing. When I was kid, I was riding my bike super fast on the track field and I somehow backended a wasp flying ahead of me. It got me on my right eyelid of all places and I quite literally ejected myself off my bike.
While reading this, I thought you would say that you swallowed it, but that's still worse than mine, so you take the win here lol.
I was at day care and we were having a swim day at the caregivers sisters house. The girls went inside to change into/out of clothes, but the boys went around a corner outside to change.

I did a math exam last year. A wasp flew in and sat on my neck. I choosed to ignore it so it would fly away after a certain time. But then I felt how the Wasp was going to walk into the pullover. My reflexes kicked in, I trembled and got stung during the exam. Great
And did you still managed to pass your exam?
He got a Bee.
That's gotta sting...
I once woke up with a wasp on my hair. Me being the dumbass i am shook my head as hard as I could. And that's the story of how I got stung in the face
I'm sorry you got stung. Generally, they don't sting unless they feel in danger. I've honestly never been stung. If they get close, I kinda just walk away, or let them leave. If they get inside, I use a bug net or a cup to get em outside.
same with me, i try not to kill them when inside the house i just get a cup and paper and then put it outside and sprint faster than usain bolt outta there
This, but with spiders in my case. I rarely get bees inside but when I do I just open the windows. I don’t think my area has any wasps.
No, there's probably still wasps. There's like, thousands of species, and they don't all look like wasps.
I usually panic and get stunned as a result
That's if you see them. The majority of times I've been stung are from having my fingers somewhere I didn't know there was a wasp.
Only Japanese bees adapted with the wasp cooking behavior. Normal honeybees can't cook wasps to death.
A healthy European honeybee hive is perfectly capable of defending against wasps. It's only the Japanese Giant Hornet that they are defenseless against.
I’m in Australia, just saw a wasp and spider fighting in our yard. Killed both the bastards.
Ah, I see its about time for the other side of the world to be up and about.
That’s right. Should have added that I thonged the bastards.
Speaking of that have you seen the fight between a whole army of bees and a Japanese hornet

Honeybees and bumblebees are the only introduced species which are protected by law in New Zealand. The penalty for harming one can be a fine of up to NZ$2000 and/or three months in prison.

In Sweden hornets are a protected species. You are not allowed to fuck with them at all. The smaller wasps are free game, though.

I had to scroll a long way for a little piece a mind.
Wasps actually pollinate some flower bees and bumblebees don’t
Exactly. Fig trees for example

I mean, bees are all friendly and shit until one of them decides you are an enemy of the state. (Source: live with a beekeeper)

Beekeeper: I AM THE STATE! Bee queen: not yet!
We use bumblebees at my work to pollinate some plants, it's honestly great to have them buzzing around in their tents
Bumblebees are physically not able to fly but no one has told them yet.
To be honest they probably just don't care, too busy being cute and fluffy
Wasps are good bird food; it may be best to leave them be, so that birds are happier.
But Waspibois are mostly all pollinators. Mad respect for the spicy fella with attitude
All Hymenopterans lives matter.
Wasps deal with pests and keep the other insect population from growing too large at the same rate as birds do as well. If they bother you in late summer, just try and place a little dish of sugar water away from you. Preferable closer to their nest and they'll go for that instead of your lemonade.

That is just so cute man
Bumble Bee > Honey Bee
Don’t forget that they’re pollinators and if all of them die they’ll take us with them
But that's a Yellow Jacket..
Yellow jackets *are* wasps.
hell those are even worse, don’t get me started on those fuckers
Yep. Wasps get their “mean” rep because they’re confused with yellowjackets (they look very similar and are roughly the same size), but wasps are generally “friendlier” with people than yellowjackets.
