Bee´s and bumblebee´s must be the stupiest animal on the planet. The Bee know that when it sting somebody they will die. And still they are drawn to and fly around humans, even if there is no swweets where you are. The same for bumblebee´s. I have some plastic flowers outside on my wall and every time I go out I see those little creeps flying around it trying to find their nectar. I am not allergic to these animlas, but I do not like to be stungen from a bee, or burned by a bumblebee. Are you allergic to bee or bumblebee´s

Bee's design may seem weird to you, but it actually makes a lot of sense. There are plenty of bee's in the world, as I know you are all too aware of. Bee's are much more productive with no care for personal self. Putting your life on the line for the greater good of the group is something even humans do. Every nation can be seen as a bee hive. The nation's army is the annoying bee that stings you a lot! They are putting their own lives out on the line, to protect their nation. Much like bees do!

i really dont know if i am allergic to them or not as i have not yet experienced being bitten by any of them . if i see one either i run away or i what them with whatever i am holding... just to be safe... yeah, that makes me wonder why do they sting when it will kill them also? and funny about that plastic flower, maybe that bee have a stuck up nose and he cant smell, so he dont know if the flower is really real or not...

Funny really, people do run away or hit in empty air to try put them down. I do remember one summer, my ex husband, he is really allergic to those creeps. So there we were sitting outside having some coffee and cake, my youngest sister sat next him, and of course, there a little bee was, my ex husband started to flaxing his hands and to all kind of things to get rid of it. But it only ended with that my youngest sister got stungen by this bee, right on her leg. Another time, my ex was at home with my son, newborn. He was on the floor on a blanket..when I came home my ex said, he had been stungen by a bee....and of course, he was to blame trying to get rid of the bee with a newspaper, he smashed it and the bee landed on my sons arm...no wonder he was stungen. I always try to keep calm and sit still on the chair, and wait for it to fly away. Instead of letting my friends or family around me getting hurt instead. Now, lucky for us in my family that we are not allergic to them. Those who are allergic I am afraid are causing other to get stungen instead of them selfs.

Albert Einstein once said," If all the bees were to die today, Humanity would have 4 years left!" Animal life on earth depends on bees to pollinate most seeds and fruit. Honeybees are cold blooded creatures, and yet they survive cold winters in Canada, and Sweden. They do not generate body heat, but must exercise their muscles to keep warm. Most animals, and many birds love the sweet taste of honey, and without a means to protect their stored honey ,bees would not be able to survive. Bees are very intelligent, and can communicate with their peers in the hive. They know so much it would just knock your socks right off!

I don't believe I've ever been stung by a bee, so I'm not sure if I am or not. Doubt it, and I hope not. As for them being stupid, I don't think they are. Being colonial social insects, their ultimate loyalty is to their queen and hive. It's their role to use their life to help the colony, by harvesting, or even giving their life. But they're not on the same intelligence level as humans, so I don't think we can call them stupid.
