However, I did in fact have a dream where I found another bee in my room. That wasn't cool.

Not only are they hard to squish, they like to suck blood ... from your face. They stalk you when you are asleep and hide in your bed. Did I mention you can become sensitized to their bites and get spreading welts that last for three days? They also are the vectors for Chagas disease, which is a chronic disease that can cause cardiomyopathy, digestive system damage, and neuritis. The varieties in the US don't seem to transmit it because they are kind enough to poop on your walls and bed rather than directly on the place they were feeding from. They aren't so lucky in Mexico and further south.
Before I moved to an area where there were weren't any, I'd pitch a tent in my room for the entire spring season. We could get a fifty to a hundred a season.
Some other people I mentioned this to blamed the bees on vuvuzelas as well. After all, how do you think vuvuzelas make that sound? They make lots of bees.Kleene Onigiri wrote: If you hear BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and there is no vuvuzela around.... be afraid.... VERY AFRAID!
Spoiler:
Also, I would like to make it known that on my drive home today, I had the windows down and a bee (one of the fuzzy types) flew straight into my window, smacking me on the side of the head. It later made its way out of the opposite window a few minutes later, I hope it never finds its way home.
My head is still itchy D:
Imaginating how a bumblebee crashes int Akonyls head.... XD
