Alpo Posted January 21 Posted January 21 In my experience a bumblebee don't care. A wasp, or a yellow jacket - yeah they're faster than a tractor. But a bumblebee? They just fly off out of the way. I like the rest of them. 1 Quote

Alpo Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Maybe y'all got a different critter out where you live that you call bumblebees. Around here they live in a hive, up off the ground. You're not going to hit them with a hay baler or whatever it is you shred a pasture with. Yellow jackets - oh yeah. Bumblebees? Quote

Yellowjacket, a type of wasp. Bumblebee. These aren't exactly to scale, the bumblebee is smaller than the yellowjacket Quote
Pat Riot Posted January 21 Posted January 21 I heard most of those growing up. Good sense. Thanks @Dr. Zook Quote
Alpo Posted January 21 Posted January 21 I just looked up bumblebee, and according to the all knowing internet, a bumblebee is not what we have around here. Because it says the female bumble bee can stab you repeatedly. Bees around here have a barb on their stinger. They stab you and when they pull back the stinger stays in you and it pulls their guts out. They have one sting and then they die. Wasps can sting you multiple times, and yellow jackets can sting you multiple times, but not bees. With them it is one and done. Quote
