[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 206098, member: 31282"] Mosquitos? - absolutely no point whatsoever, apart from feeding fish and killing humans! I react badly to their bites, too! My dad kept honey-bees when I was a child - I don't react to their stings at all. Bumblebees, unlike honey bees and wasps, are friendly, peace-loving creatures that will only sting as a last resort. On one dig, in the summer of 1975 (a very hot summer as well as '76) we had a bumblebees' nest underneath our table in the orchard for 6 weeks. As long as we kept the flight-path clear they never bothered us, not even if a chair-leg went down the hole, or we had to get a windfall out of it. They'd occasionally mosey over to look at what was going on, but they were never aggressive. So please don't kill bumblebees! :D Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
