I honestly have no clue why people get so flusturted by bees and wasps. I keep telling them: "If you keep dangling your arms at them, they'll be more likely to sting you"


There was this one girl who hadn't been stung by a wasp ever and the place where we were at was full of them. She kept saying that she didn't want to get stung by one but flapped her arms around like crazy when they got close.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Well in my case I am allergic to their stings, so I do not want to die.


And preventing a sting by avoiding them is much better for your sanity, trust me.

Maybe. I just don't react to them and just keep doing what I'm doing. Unless I'm making quick movements, if I see a bee or a wasp I try to make slower movements. It's easier once you understand that they don't sting unless they're threatened, which is exactly what most people do. They're basically asking for it.

 

[SilverFlight]

wow, I never would have thought of bee's doing something other than landing, stinging, then laughing their asses of till they die.

Think about that one. How long would bees exist as a species if they stung everything in sight and died after they do? Evolution says that would be a very short-lived animal.


Bees have a very complex life history, there is no single animal that is violent when unprovoked, everything has a trigger.

Bees do respond to movement, but all the ones you meet are foragers and couldn't give half a rat's ass about you. They're looking for food. If you open a colony you should always move slowly, and breath slowly, if you're relaxed, they will be too, because you haven't given them a reason to attack. Best thing you can do if you find yourself near a swarm is move slow and also not kill any of them, because the alarm pheromone is released when they die, and that will eventually set them off. Its a positive feedback reaction.

Exactly. Animals aren't violent by nature towards humans. We've just given them plenty of reasons to react that way over the years. I mean, some predators may attack on sight just because they see us as another animal to eat or something, but even that is really rare.

I like understanding how nature works. If you know the rules you can predict what things will do.

So, Luness is officially one of the worst greeters for any scenario.

[Peaceswore]

Yeah thank you for scaring the new guy xD (Not sure how to have him react... But he ain't chill about this yet )

 

[Aldur]

And there we have it. Sorry for the rather short post. Today was awkward.

 

[andujarprime]

@Lioness075 dont worry. she will not be judged, not alone anyway lol

 

[Peaceswore]

I love how you guys treat the new guy xD I'll hopefully post soon~

 

[DawnAntalios]

Short reply, I feel lost now a bit, I let you guys go ahead, I will jump in eventually.

 

[SilverFlight]

Indeed ^^


 
Ok, I'm giving up on this Lightbringer trilogy, Brent Weeks, you are a disappointment, more for the reason that the characters and plot build up are amazing...but he has no idea how to finish things. This guy is the king of anti-climax....and sexist. Oi...

 

[andujarprime]

Brent weeks? I like him lol I cant remember what trilogy I read of his. Which is the light bringer trilogy tho?

 

[Lioness075]

I've never heard of this author before. And I've heard of a ton of authors. >.< Then again, I mostly read teen fiction and young adult fiction. Are his books more of adult ones? I read some of those kinds, but not often.

 

[andujarprime]

I think it falls under young adult fiction


 
The series I read of his was the night angel trilogy, I liked it. My friend is reading the light bringer series too. My fav. series is the sword of truth series by Terry Goodkind. I must have read all 8 books at least twice lol

 

[The Suspicious Eye]

Reading, and posting now.
