How do you get over fear of bees?
It may depend on whether you have a morbid fear of bees -- apiphobia -- in which case you would probably need help from an expert, or whether it is just a fear of the unknown, which is far more likely and perfectly understandable. The best cure for fear of the unknown is knowledge. Read about bees. Get to know a beekeeper who will lend you a bee suit with a veil so you can get close to the bees without fear of being stung, and get to see what fascinating creatures they are. A little word of warning: get to know enough about them and you will get to love them.
Do bees and wasps fight?
In the open bees and wasps will tend to ignore each other, but if a wasp tries to enter a bee hive and does not immediately back out, the guard bees will probably sting it to death. A concerted attack on a bee hive by a large number of wasps in order to get to the honey stores may succeed and many bees and wasps will die in the resulting fight.
How can you keep bees and wasps out of your pool?
You can't unless you have an indoor pool or a fully covered and screened pool. You can reduce the attractiveness of the place to bees and wasps by ensuring the sweat drinks (kool-aid, fruit juices, soft drinks, etc.) are not left out, and that fatty foods like meat scraps are present only for a short time and are cleand up promptly and put in closed containers. (Some wasps like fatty foods; some wasps and bees like sugary liquids.
What is the difference between wasps and bees?
Wasps are more dangerous. Wasps are long and thin while bees are small and normal sized. Wasps don't die when they sting, bees do.

Bees feed their young with pollen collected from flowers while wasps feed their young on insect or spider prey.

Bears sometimes eat them by mistake... Varroa mites (REALLY tiny arachnids) swarm all over the bees and make their immune systems weaken... Birds such as the Ruby-throated Hummingbird and the Common Grackle eat bees, so do Largemouth Bass as well as various toads and frogs.
What does TLC when considering flowers stand for?
It could simply mean "Tender loving Care" for plants that are tricky to grow, such as Orchids, some Ferns, and Show Roses, or it could be Thin Layer Chromatography which is a method of separating chemicals in compounds. The 'Flower" part may come into play with the following analogy some people use:Suppose a mixture of bees and wasps passing over a flower bed. The bees would be more attracted to the flowers than the wasps, and would become separated from them. If one were to observe at a point past the flower bed, the wasps would pass first, followed by the bees.It could also be the technical name for the process of coloring cut flowers by applying food color to the water in which they sit.

What happens to wasps when it starts to get cold?
Most of them die off - especially the 'solitary' species.. I've already seen a number of dead and dying bees and wasps this year. They will have mated, and produced eggs which will lie dormant over the winter, to develop once the warm weather returns. The wasps that live in colonies usually 'ride out' the winter in nests either underground, or in disused buildings.
