Apis Mellifera
"Buzzzz.. buzzz.." buzz one honeybee and then some ...gracefully in my garden these days.
I thought I know them well till I did some digging being fascinated that there's a lot of them in my garden these days. Here's a few stuff of what I found out about them.
No ... still not convince that they're monsters and neither is @mweich he just needs to be cohesive with his posts. Are you?
I'm not - for how are we different? Like honeybees, don't we also take care of whatever harms the society? .. and those that are worth saving - we do save don't we?

Great photos and fun video to watch the bees eat honey out off your ha... from your finger. You are the Bee Whisperer of Steem Ivy. :-)
@oaldamster just not we've experienced power outage for a second or two
but for some reasons my net was also out - it's not just us cause the people outside screamed too hahah
thank you ! they're so cute huh? so cute but they could also sting
i got stung by a small bumble bee i rescued in the strawberry green house this afternoon - it was in panic so he pricked me - hahaha
it hurts yes it does but he's still alive don't worry :)
Peaks and drops in power will turn off computer hardware or reset it. We're not used to that anymore. ;-)
They are cute indeed. And sometimes they come with a sting when they panic. Have experienced that... Hope you are alright again.
So the Bumblebee lives on after it stings? Did not know that.
@oaldamster yes .. always as long as we don't pull them off
or smash them - they could just get out of it - all of them bees know what to do
but we tend to panic and the pain is a bit excruciating - it extends till the heart but if you're not allergic to it you'll be fine but my hubby said I'd better stop rescuing them with my bare hands cause if i keep getting stung i might develop an allergy though I refuse to think like wise :D stubborn haha
Stubbern, oh ooh, hahaha... You could call it that you can act quite persistent. ;-)
Well, yes, the sting can trigger a certain reaction. Sometimes that hurts the bee, a panic reflex might cause that.
It might be a good idea to stay on the safe side.
Thank you for posting @englishtchrivy.
