I don't really mind bees. They don't bother me and they're actually kind of cute.

Yellowjackets on the other hand ... God, I hate those bastards. My parents used to be orchard labourers, and since they didn't trust babysitters, me and my sister would have to spend almost all of our free time in amongst the apple trees. The wasps live in the damn trees, really, and it's hard to miss droves of wasps eating away at discarded apples on the ground during the summer. I used to go around with bare feet as a kid, even in the orchards, and I ended up stepping on the motherfuckers a few times, and got stung for it.

I still not free of the bastards, though. They like the area around my home, and I'm always seeing them flying through the air and finding their nests outside the house in every possible nook and cranny.
