  Isn’t that a wasp rather than a bee? Whenever I got stung by a wasp that fucker was fine (unless I caught it)!

    Story tiem:

    I was eating sushi outside on my lunch break, and ofc a local wasp was buzzing around so I moved a chunk of tuna a bit away from me so it would feel safe to land. It landed, cut out an almost perfect square of tuna, hugged it with it’s legs and flew off. It was a bit like watching a cargo helicopter lifting up a container.

      This happened to me when I was a kid. My family was having a picnic which included the rare treat of fried chicken. A wasp buzzed down, landed on my chicken and sawed away a chunk of it. Then it took off, faltered because the chunk was so heavy, then buzzed away. Your comparison to a helicopter is spot on! We all just sat there and watched it, not knowing what to do. We still talk about how weird that was.

      I always sacrifice some small piece of fruit or meat to them when the wasps are getting annoying. 65% of the time, it works everytime and they fuck off with their gift and never come back

    No expert, but I believe the picture is of a wasp.

      Bees and wasps, while both belonging to the Hymenoptera order, diverged within the superfamily Apoidea. Specifically, bees are thought to have evolved from predatory wasps, primarily within the family Crabronidae. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that bees are nested within a paraphyletic Crabronidae.

      yellowjacket specifically, wasp is a very broad term, it’s like calling a cat “a mammal”

  Bees don’t die after stinging, only by stinging a big animal or humans, because their sting isn’t made for thick skins but for other insects. In hornets and wasps there isn’t a problem, their stings don’t have barbs.

    I’m not sure whether you are making a joke?

    The vast majority of bees wasps, ants and any other hive insects you’ll have seen, are infertile drones. With each hive housing only a single female individual capable of sexual reproduction, which does not leave the hive after it forms.

    Fertile males only exist for a short time during swarming season, and they do die after doing their thing.

      Not wasps. The majority of wasps you’ll see are fertile.

      Also, insect hives can house several fertile females. Some exist around a single queen, but they are an exception, not the norm.
