Growing up on acreage that used to be an orchard, I would spend my autumn days walking around with an aluminum bat, smashing every single apple with wasps or hornets feeding upon it. I miss those days.

Did they ever retaliate?
Surprisingly not. They were usually disoriented from eating fermented apple. Aggressive enough to fly around angrily when you came near, but never quote coordinated enough to land a sting. I revived far more stings from trying to catch honeybees in jars, which I feel bad about in retrospect and definitely deserved. I never intended to hurt or kill the honeybees, though. Just the hornets.
Kids can be dumbasses. And needlessly cruel. Been there myself. I sometimes would like to slap the shit out of kid me for stupid things I did.
So this is why doctors stay away from apples
Nah, those just make the apple extra crunchy.
These wasps are malic-ious.
Still a more enjoyable meal than anything you can get at Applebees.
AAAAHH AAAAAH THE BEEES THE BEES THEY'RE STINGING MY EYES, although the appetizer is still better than Applebee's.
Bzzzy
!dontputyourdickinthat
Every bug that is black and yellow and can sting is a bee.
That's all anyone needs to know.
No no no. Bees are bumbly friendly yellow and black little bubbles of fluff.
Wasps are murder stripes.
Bumblebee are extremely cute too, very peaceful and extra fluffy.
I have carpenter bees by my house. They sound like an air raid, but they're hilarious the way they just bump into things.
Ho cool, I've just learned about them, they are not common where i live. They seem fun haha!
Bumblebees are assholes.
Most types of wasps can't even sting. And even the stinging ones are harmless if left alone and useful insects.
Don't do bees dirty like that man. No other insect dies more for people than bees
