Question

Why is freezing a bee to death over a period of hours more humane than swatting it and killing it instantly?

Community Answer

Perhaps due to the being's sensations while dying. In this case of freezing slowly, the bee would drift off and out of consciousness and not experience pain.

Question

Why do they want to hurt people?

Community Answer

Bees don't want to hurt us. Their natural instinct is to sting you if you are causing them problems, or if you are trying to hurt them.

Question

Why do bee stingers hurt people?

Community Answer

It's piercing your skin, causing an open wound, and is similar to a sliver. It can cause a reaction in some people because of an intolerance to the enzymes and hormones in the stinger that become released when the bee dies/ejects the stinger.

How would I compare a wasp to a bee?

Community Answer

A wasp is longer and skinnier, and bees are fatter. Wasps also have stingers. You can consult websites that specialize in bees for more information.

Question

How can I trap the bee if I don't want to kill it?

Community Answer

Use a glass or a jar and a piece of paper. When the bee lands on a hard surface (such as a wall, table, or countertop), place the glass over the bee and slide the paper underneath. Then carry it outside, uncover the bee and let it fly away.

Question

I have just one bee in my house. I don't have a fly swatter around at all because we never have fly or bee problems. What should I do?

Community Answer

Try opening some windows, the bee will eventually fly out. If you urgently need to remove the bee from your house, wait until the bee lands on a hard surface, such as a wall or table, and then use a glass or jar to trap the bee. Then slide a piece of paper underneath, carry the glass and the paper outside, and release the bee.
