Well that was a little hair raising...
There was a poor little bee was stuck in between my blinds and the window trying desperately to get out while Chen (my cat) was trying to tap at it. I tried to open up the doors and guide it out that way but it was adamant on trying to get out that window :/
So I had to get some paper and push it down away from the lock as I didn't want it to accidentally sting me. Then I had to open that window, and then head on the other side and open up the outdoor screen and use the paper to guide it out.
*phew*
Bee is now free can go on with it's daily pollination activities
I feel much better now knowing that the Bee got out safely and no harm came to it :thumb:
Which is a much better improvement than what I would have done 2-3 years ago. I'm still a little scared of bees but they aren't interested in humans and are a good thing for nature so they should be kept alive if you can help it.

you sure it was the stinging kind of bee?
and not, you know, a carpenter bee?
i mean, yeah, there was a chance you could get stung, but they usually don't sting
to be honest, most bees don't even care about humans if they don't screw with them

Gotta save the bees since they're dying out.

Yeah, it's a big issue right now. Every bee squished effects the amount of produce that people will be able to purchase in the future. Not to mention that they really haven't done anything to us asides from potentially annoyed us, so don't bother them, let them out, and just let them bee.

Ever since i was a kid, any flying bug that flys around me must die. Its like a fucked up phobia. I panic and my mission changes from doing one thing to killing it before it can cause more insanity.
They fly against my window and kill themselves every now and then too.

We ship bees here at work, no one wants to handle them though.
I mean would you want to be around a box full of bees when someone accidentally breaks it?

Bees are like 85% of our food produce, and they're dying out rapidly. Without them, we'd see mass global extinction.
I'm scared of them too, but try to save them if you can.
