I love them! I wish my Mom would let me get a hive!
I month ago my 10 ft Lemon tree was covered with blooms and I loved to watch the bees going back and forth withe pollen on their legs.

oh me too! We need them for so many of our yummy produce like apples and peaches. not to mention plenty of bees are a sign of a healthy ecosystem

We had so many that the neighbors were complaining! but no one ever got stung from them so I don't see the problem.

i think people are too finicky. unless someone has an allergy, then ignore it. a sting is a minor discomfort, deal with it. (unless it is an allergy, i stress i am not talking about people with allergies)

we live in a society where we are so concerned about instant comfort and instant results that we are willing to completely destroy an ecosystem and harm other living creatures so we won't be inconvenience *gets off of he soap box now*
