Bee Lessons...

Category: Nature - Out and About... | Posted: Thu Apr 09, 2009 3:00 pm

I was just outside my work building looking around the grounds which are quite large and have quite a few nice tree and plant specimens. I was taking some photos to post later in the plant i.d section so i can learn some stuff when i saw an old plastic drink cup sitting on the grass near the woods area.

I dont like trash laying around so i peered into it before i picked it up to see if any critters had been using it but didnt see anything although the cup was creased in a the bottom and i thought i saw some dirt or something dark behind the crease.
I pick up the cup and i hear "bzzzzzzzzZZZZZZ" and some tapping on the cup which surprised me so i dropped it on the grass and a big bee comes flying out and off up in the air. I guess that was what the dark thing was...

seconds later i go to grab the cup to trash it and i hear it again....."bzzzzzZZZZZZ" and whack the bee hits me in the back of the head, luckily i had a cap on so it just bounced off as i ran away lol...

my lesson learnt is to leave the area for a lil while if you think you might have disturbed a bee as it seems they dont like surprise encounters much either and may need time to cool down.
