Bees.
Especially bumblebees.
I have to say, I like the concept of bumblebees.
They're cute. They're fuzzy. They make us honey. They're all chubby and furry and look like they want to be stroked.
However.
Come summer, I have to use every shred of grown-up-ness not to run away and scream and then hide as soon as I hear a vague buzzing in my "dance space". This could merely turn out to be a fly, but nonetheless, it scares the bejeezus out of me.
They sting.
They loiter around your head no matter how much hand swishing and flapping you do, annoying and scaring you.
If you run away, they follow.
Menaces, pests and general nuisances, they should be banned.
Even though they do invent new and exciting flowers by way of pollination and nectar on their tiny toes and they produce a tasty spread for your toast or sugar alternative for hot drinks....
I am still undecided.
