Can you squash a bee or is it rude?

Answer 1

I suggest that you do not squash any bees because they are very important. Bees pollinate flowers, and the flowers bear fruit. then animals eat the fruit. then larger animals eat the fruit-eating ones. If there were no bees, the flowers would die because there would be no insects to pollinate them (no fruit, no seeds). The fruit eating animals would die because there would be no fruit. and the animals who eat those animals would also die.

Bees also pollinate the blossoms apple trees, cherry trees, peach trees, etc. So if there are no bees then no apple juice for us. or cherry pie. or peach ice cream. Also, if the bees are honeybees, you will have no honey.

Also, bees are living things as well. Imagine if someone took a huge fly swatter and smashed you against the wall. Then, you would be squashed and you would be dead and everyone who loves you would cry. If you squish a bee, you will also have to worry about cleaning up its blood (which is clear, by the way, bees do not have red blood; which can be bad because you can't see it - then there will be bee blood on your wall till the end of time) and guts and crushed body parts and wings and eyes and stuff.

If you happen to find a bee in your house, let it out the window or door. If there's a lot of bees, you might have a hive inside your house. If that happens don't exterminate them. Bees do not want to hurt people. They only sting if you threaten their nests. I don't know about other bees, but honeybees are different from hornets because hornets can sting you multiple times. When a honeybee stings, it can't pull out the barbed stinger. So leaves it behind, along with part of its digestive tract, muscles and nerves. Then it dies (well if your guts got pulled out, you would die too). Also, only female worker bees sting.

If it has stung you and it's not dead... it's probably a wasp, yellow jacket, or hornet.
