Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 11, 2012

I used to have a phobia of b..b…b…b…….AHHHH!

If you leave them alone and don’t wear floral-scented shampoo, they’ll leave you alone.The bee obviously thinks that Audrey is some peculiar large flower.

Exactly.  You were doing loud construction work near their home, so they felt threatened by you.

Don’t know how true this is, but I heard it years ago; Don’t eat a banana near bees, the scent is the same that bees use to signal the hive is in danger.

Do Bee dooby do……..To Bee or not to Bee……Bee seeing you….

Carry a sheet of Bounce in your pocket.Keeps stingie things away.

I suspect Africanized bees might be better for preventing arthritis by killing the sting-ee before he or she can reach the age to have it.

Anyone know what kind of bees produce milk?

Boobies!

I had multiple multiple stings (California Yellow Jackets, mostly) growing up, but then stepped on a nest of “ground bees” in deep brush, and got 117 stings, give or take. After surviving that, I was “allergic” to bees for some time. I’ve had a grand total of one sting since, other than under medical testing. It was a bad reaction, so ever since I’ve been remarkably in tune with bees and wasps and all their stripped kinfolk.

Avoid yellow mustard outdoors. I swear it attracts them more than almost anything else. Yellow mustard smeared on fatty ham is a notable exception.
