Honey Bees and Bumble Bees are great. They're fun to watch, and are very docile/relaxed. I will always stop to watch one, or avoid while mowing.

If you're asking me about carpenter bees or any wasp, hornet, or yellow jacket, they can all die in a fire. Those call for scorched earth.

Edit: my most recent acquaintance :)

I recently watched a video of a bee keeper showing how his bees were kept save because he fed the wasps fermented pare. So it kept them happy and docile and really showed how some wasps species can co exist and play a part in Mother Nature which we often forget.

But mosquitoes… fuck them, they can all die.

Also, cute ass little bee photo. 🐝

Some wasps look scary but all they want to do is hang around the flowers.

Hornets are my bros, they're super chill here. Swoop in, hunt something down, eat it sitting on a random branch, and then they're gone again.
