Ya, trying to work on my fear of bees. Everytime I see one fly near me I freak out. I'm not sure why I have such a fear of them. Wasps are the bastards I should be worrying about. Those things are nothing but 100% rage and anger that will sting without hesitation >.>
Also just google imaged it, definitely was a carpenter bee, it had a patch of yellow near it's front with black for the rest. Poor thing was just so confused cause it could clearly see outside but couldn't get out and was trying to fly out the window :(

My fear of bees went away years ago when I realised that bee stings did absolutely nothing to me asides from a light poke. Like getting a shot. Mosquito bites, on the other hand, make me swell up like crazy.

Yeah sorry, but I also "think" that the 0.01% of bees dying to human swatting do fuck all to affect the population in a meaningful way.
I mean not like you have to swat them, I let them out too. But really.
Do you think saving 10000$ by not giving coffee to the employees for free can save a multinational corporation with a several billion dollar turnabout standing at the brink of insolvency with no other way to reduce losses? Nope, you don't. Of course you may still do it because you're desperate, but people pray to gods when they're desperate also.

While most of the extinction is due to pesticides, if thousands of people don't swat the bees that they see, that adds up to a considerable amount of bee work saved. Every little bit helps. Think of the butterfly effect. (You could also call it the zombie bite effect.)

Bees are like 85% of our food produce, and they're dying out rapidly. Without them, we'd see mass global extinction.

Bees are the bees knees. Unless they're in a box.
Run away. They are pissed, they are not the bees knees. They want your soul and will devour it.
