I might as well ask this since I got stung or bit by a bee yesterday during America day.
Last year, when taking strolls, it was rare enough for a bee to swarm around me that I could go whole strolls without it happening sometimes.
This year, they swarm around me everywhere. Everywhere. It’s like fighting your way through putty patrollers. They respawn instantly, there’s absolutely no lag. Shoo one away and one comes back five seconds later. Sometimes for three hour strolls encompassing six miles.
What the heck happened? Anyone else notice this?
They cut down on using pesticides which are harmful to bees in my area, so there’s tons of honeybees and bumble bees buzzing about… Maybe they cut down on using those pesticides in yours? It makes me happy to see all the bees because without them, three quarters of crops which produce food for us wouldn’t be viable! Respect the bees. 🐝
I definitely respect them, I just wish they didn’t think I was a flower.
Do you wear a lot of purple, violet and blue? Bees are naturally drawn to those hues because to bees, those are the most rewarding flower colors, and they probably see you as a giant flower!
No to purple or violet but yes to blue, turquoise is my go-to but often this slides into blue territory.
