    Bees almost never bother me. Wasps and hornets can all go fuck themselves tho.

    Also, Bumblebees are jerks, but in a prank kinda way, if that makes sense? Never been stung by one, but they sure do like to hang out way too close and creep me out.

      Lately every evening a bunch of bumblebees circle around my window. I live on the top floor and they seem to be going towards the rooftop, but they regularly bump into the window and it scares me because what if one of them suddenly phases through the window and is stuck inside with me?

        (macro)Quantum phasing/tunneling is a scary but necessary trait for the bumblebee species so the only way to be safe is to keep thick enough glass panels that the chance becomes as close to zero as is comfortable for you. I use 20 mm glass panels at home due to bad experiences, but your preference may vary

    I appreciate the joke, though let me do my autistic thing and say that Honeybees have a barbed stinger, and if they sting a thick-skinned mammal like a human, the barbed hook gets stuck as they try to escape. This doesn’t happen with arthropods, so they wouldn’t know. Plus bees are democratic, so if you got stung, it was in consensus and the will of many.
