Oh FC - I wasn't even invited to the party BUT I had to clear up after!!!!! Fang parties are banned in this house from now on!!! (Like that will stop him!)
Awwwwwwwwwww as for bees...they are cute!! They look cuddly to me, all furry Very Happy

.Bumblebees are on the endangered list because of the habitat destruction & pesticides.
Make a little change - lets make tomorrow "Hug a Bee" day!
(& lets make the following day "Let's all rush to the Pharmacy for antihistamine tablets day*

)

Thank you but the skills are debatable. Some colors just don't photograph well, like the purple poppies come out looking too much like fuschia. Bees are good for the flowers, FC. NO, Drifty, they aren't cuddly.

OMG, the other day the 4 yr. got stung and such DRAMA!!! He was fine after I fixed it for him.

The little vid was hysterical!!!!!!

I was stung the first time, way into adulthood..........way into adulthood. The reason I got stung was hubby swatted a bee away from him and it got me! Since then, I've been stung a few more times while working out in the garden.

I've only been stung once (knocking on wood) and I was about late 20s. We were hiking and he got in between my toes and sandals. YES I KNOW NOW IT WAS STOOOOPID TO HIKE IN SANDALS! Embarassed

Hope your little guy is all over the trauma.

Awwwwwww Sky - they look cuddly to me!!!

I actually reread my post - "Hug a Bee" day could also be said as "Hug a Bedet" affraid

That's usually when I have suffered from Wine Flu (me being topical!) puking1

What Is Wine Flu? •Nausea?
•Pounding headache?
•Dry mouth?
•No memory of last night?
•Unfamiliar phone number in your pocket?
•... then it's wine flu.

OH - I have to tell you - my hubby has been stung several times (all when he was MUCH younger) and now he is the biggest baby when he is outside and sees a bee!! It is hilarious!!! He starts swatting towels around willie nillie!

Drifty - I think I have gotten that flu a few times myself whistle

@ Mr FC!!

I'm fine with Bees it's Wasps that make me freak out - umm...or Yellow Jackets? (but I still won't kill them Wink

)
They are demented & don't take the hint that you don't what them near!AND always fly around your head!!
I took my car to a nearby petrol station a while ago to use the carwash they had - it was a powerwash gun etc.Behind it was a "vacuum your car " section.
I put my money in & started to use the pressure wash gun on my car & was then attacked by a stupid wasp!
Me + pressure wash gun + wasp = me looking like I was having some sort of fit, pressured water gun going everywhere but on my car & waving the other hand like I was trying to land a plane!
I have NO idea what the guy vacuuming his car out thought of me as I squirted his car, the building & also looked as if I was aiming at some clouds above! Also - this petrol station is right next to a duel carriageway - so all the traffic going past would have seen a Possessed Drifty - but NOONE would have seen the wasp!!!Hope to god it didn't have CCTV!!!!
They are demons those wasps - I tell you!!!

Oh, it wasn't the first time he'd been stung and he just got stung again while camping, and Daddy too this time! Nathan is quite the dramatic one when hurt. He knew he'd been stung, but until I saw evidence of it and confirmed it, is when he went 'off'!
