lol..was actually doing some work with a friend on honey bee hives and helping her with her paper on sexual production etc..etc.. think the bumble bee flew into the hive...dont know if it was accidental or on purpose...ut the honey bees horded it and then stripped it..then stung it to death..

i hate insects, anything that can fly, crawl, has > 2 legs, hairy legs, hairy body, antena, waxy body, and eyes that are too big for them, etc etc.

i'm terrified of them yet they seem to like me.
