    Re: Do you know a bee when you see one?

    I got 3. My neighbor had those underground wasps come charging out of their hidey-hole a few weeks ago. She poured gasoline down the hole! I have noticed, this year, I see ants on the hummingbird feeder as always, but no bees. Some summers, I had to wait until dark to empty & refill the thing because it'd be covered with bees. I also used to see little honeybees come drink from the birdbath. Haven't seen any this year.

    Got 4/6. The two I missed looked really cool.

    I only got three right, myself. I thought the others were bee-like wasps. They're easy to confuse with bees.

    Same here. I only selected 4 thinking there'd be fewer right answers than wrong. At least the ones we picked were all bees though!

    I hate those.
    I'm anaphylactic to wasps. Those ones are actually the worst. We have prime ground wasp territory up here. I really should wear a bandolier of epinephrine whenever I go hiking.

    I missed a few of them to be honest. Didn't confuse the horse fly or cricket though but had never seen those on the far right choices. The middle top center sort of reminded me of the smaller carpenter bee though which is often mistaken for a bumble bee. Which I admit I never really think of as bee's though they are. When I think of Bee's tend to think of Honey Bee's more so than anything.

    started a topic Do you know a bee when you see one?

    Do you know a bee when you see one?

    Maybe, maybe not. Go here and pick the bees out of a lineup:
