Some other Bee facts from my book:
- Bees are the only furry insect that can be taught to fetch a stick (with the exception of the Carniolan honey bee, which cant find its own @rse with 5 hands)
- Unique amongst insectum, Bees only have 5 true legs, the sixth being a stump with a whisk attachment.
- When a Bee gets wet, it turns into 2 Bees.Comment

Bumble bees are usually solitary, but some species form communities of up to 50 or so. Usually their nests are underground. Wasps and hornets are to be avoided if possible do to the repeat fire on their stings making them trigger happy. My father had a rather large wasp nest in a tree, the pest control guy told him the largest wasp nest he found was so big he couldnt get the nest into the back of his van in one piece.Comment
