Isn’t that a wasp rather than a bee? Whenever I got stung by a wasp that fucker was fine (unless I caught it)!

Story tiem:

I was eating sushi outside on my lunch break, and ofc a local wasp was buzzing around so I moved a chunk of tuna a bit away from me so it would feel safe to land. It landed, cut out an almost perfect square of tuna, hugged it with it's legs and flew off. It was a bit like watching a cargo helicopter lifting up a container.

I was actually expecting the end of the story to have the wasp at some point sting you just because of existing.

Not all wasps are like that, the smaller mud daubers and such are rather bee-like in their apathy of you being around them. But hornets. Yeah, they're evil.

All wasps are an important part of the decomposition cycle. Some also tend to decompose your happiness.
