Author Topic: I killed a bee.  (Read 4302 times)

You arsehole. Bees really aren't that aggressive. You would really have to piss one off for it to sting you. I was playing airsoft and fell on a small plant that had a bee in it. Scooted over off of it and saw a bee was buzzin around it. I was really loving close to it and it didn't mind me at all.

No, not my pillowpet. An actual bug.

The little bastard landed on my plate next to my cookie, so I did the proper thing. I drowned him in chocolate milk. He got washed over to a different corner of the plate and was still twitching, so then I put an apple on it. I threw away the plate as soon as I was done with my now-dunked cookie and spicy chicken sandwich.
Can I make this into a copypasta?

Bee's are important at this point. Something is killing them off and we need them for our crops. Without bee's, we'd only have bland foods.

poor bee :(

it just wanted som food why didnt you share

Without bees, we don't have goddamn life lol.

yea when people come into work and ask for bee killer I actually tell them to just call the local honey apairy to come get the hive

people don't realise how important they are and what they do

Without bees, we don't have goddamn life lol.
I blame global warming, Monsanto, pollution, and the African killer bee

It is much too easy to just kill insects. I prefer the challenge of catching and releasing them outside.

Its actually pretty easy when you get used to it, use a small paper cup and an index card, if the insect is on a surface you can simply land the cup on it then slide the index card underneath and escort the bugger outside.

If the insect is flying it becomes more tricky but usually after a bit of observation you can determine their usual flight path (bugs behave very programatically which makes it easier to predict their movements).

Try turning on one lightsource in the room if luring out a moth.

Flys tend to look for dark surfaces to hide on when they want to escape but to explore look for light, so try opening a window and ushering the flies out and that usually works, if not just make sure you are standing in the way of dark surfaces so you can keep an eye on the fly at all times and try just catching it in mid air with the cup.

If you do it in a fluid motion with both your cup and the paper landing around the fly simotaneously it makes it easier to catch, their reflex is to do a 180 from incoming objects but finding a perpendicular axis to the fly's flight path can allow easy capture. After that simply release it out the window.

It makes a fun game, and helps save the environment (remember if you kill a fly and throw it away it will just decay into some undisposable trash heep, but a fly outside can feed a bird, and we all like birds (or should)

As far as bees go, one, dude you're a prick.
Two, bees are very social and relatively intelligent, just short of spiders. You can usually communicate to them your intentions by not overreacting (your body automatically releases pheremones which inicite an energy of panic in the area) and in stead calmy directing the bee outside. One technique that works alot of the time is rubbing your fingers of one hand together like you are spinning a pencil or something leading away from the bee toward the direction outside you want it to go. Often times I find calmy saing "No Bee, go outside" does the trick, unless they are confused as to how to get outside (in which case just do the leading tactic)

i blame the homoloveuals

Hey! D:<
Homoloveuals can be bees too!
I thought you were more open than that, Menen.

the gay agenda is turning bees gay and they stop having bee babies.

I found a scorpion on my front porch one night. I went to get a mason jar to catch it, but when I came back, it was gone. It is the only scorpion I have ever seen in Missouri.

Catching a bug and bringing it inside is the same as say taking a live tiger from the wild. I mean well no a tiger obviously has a larger impact ecologically per specimen, but you are still artificially tampering with the ecosystem in a manner that removes a portion of resources from the traditional life cycle loop (it only gets worse when you start talking about petrifying the specimen or preserving it in some glass, cause then that is matter that isn't going to get a chance to reenter the ecosystem for thousands or even millions of years if you wrap it in plastic that refuses to decompose even under extreme conditions)

If you wanna see a dead bug go to a museum, they have more weird looking preserved things than you could possibly imagine.

For me, I wanted to bring it (alive) to my biology class. I would then let it go somewhere away from the house (can't imagine that getting inside while loose). I later thought about it and decided that if the jar had broken or the lid came loose during that time, I'd end up having issues.
