Awwwwwwwww!
I don't think I've ever thought of a non-cartoon bee as cute!
The 'tocks have shown me the light. I'd still much prefer to enjoy them from the safety of a photograph....

I'm so shocked no one has quoted this: "I'm covered in beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!"

but if they were as cute as that bee, I don't think I'd mind.

Very timely for Earth Day -- apparently bee populations are mysteriously dwindling.

From the Schmidt Sting Pain Index -

Sweet Bee-
Light, ephemeral, almost fruity. A tiny spark has singed a single hair on your arm.

This isnt a sweet bee of course but I thought it was fitting. Zee tocks zaid zo.

Not particularly cute to me but I guess cuteness is in the eye of the BEEholder *ducks*

I've always wanted to pet one, but I don't know if they would like that :(

Simply beautiful (no, I'm not joining in the aweful puns, but as usual, pyrit, you've hit the nail on the head, although it could almost be "bee-hive" (think English cockney accent).

The birds and the bees
Are flying in the trees
The sun's in the sky
Just for you and I
The sky is perfect blue
Not a cloud to spoil the view
It's a sign from above
That shows that we're in love
(barum-bum-bum)

Bee butts can be so cute. In Scotland (Findhorn Gardens) I saw bumblebees w/solid yellow bottoms, black tops, very slow and mellow. Looked like they we wearing diapers.
Worked in a greenhouse where we raised snapdragons. The teeniest widdle bumblebees ever would visit them. Just had to caress one of those teeny butts w/index finger. Ouch! Duh.

Allow me to insert here one of my standard C.O. responses:

"Erm, I'm not quite clear on the scale here..."

'Tis indeed a charming shot tho (specially if well magnified!)

Cute, but bee 'tocks make me all puffy and swollen! :( I'd be hospitalized if I tried to snorgle a bee 'tocks. Poo.

I want to keep bees! And tie them to little elastics so they cannot get away. Because I'm covered in beeeeeees!

okay, enough Eddie Izzard gags ;D I love the bee-'tocks! Pretty wings, too.

When I was about three or four I tried to stroke a bee. It looked all fuzzy and I thought if I didn't touch the stinger it wouldn't sting me...I was wrong...*ouch*. I feel kind of guilty now too cos apparently bees die once they've stung someone. Poor bees

Whoa. Totally nostalgic for the summers of my childhood. I cannot wait for this bloody Western Washington weather to get better.

The old farmhouse I lived in when I was little had a nest of carpenter bees living in the porch. My dad used to sit on the porch and could be so still that the bees would crawl on his arms. They never stung him (that I recall) which is good because he's allergic. He said it tickled.
I love watching the bees in my garden. They seem so contented to just buzz around my lavender.

i pet bees all the time, and hold them too. if you're scared, look for sleeping bumblebees in flowers and tickle very gently with a tiny twig. just be slow and gentle. large bees- carpenters- are prolly best to pet. if you can't tell bees from hornets and wasps, don't try petting. wasps tend to be skittish and hornets have tempers. you can let wasps walk on you if they seem calm but haven't tried any hornets so far. also many small native bees can't sting you enough to hurt you- love the tiny ones 8D
finally i -think- only honey bees die if they sting you, not other bees. know it's not true of wasps and hornets. -(total critter nerd and used to work in an insectarium)

For all the Bee petters- once when my daughter was about 3 years old, we were walking in the woods, picking the ripe wild stawberries. She crouched down and I assumed she had found some more berries. Because I am mother-of-the-year, I wasn't really paying attention too closely. Finally, I looked down and said what are doing? She was all excited- I'm petting this cute fuzzy bug Mom!!!! Of course it is this huge bee, and it just let her pet. No stings, We lucked out. I still tease her about her cute fuzzy bugs.

AWESOME Picture

These kinds of bees don't sting. I hold and pet them all the time.

Also, bees are not dying mysteriously it is because there are too many pesticides being used in agriculture and around people's homes. The chemicals don't discriminate. They kill good and bad bugs alike.

Kat.....I Think It Is Moskitos That Die After Stinging.

i remember wanting to hold a bee that was on a dandilion. so, i picked it up (at age 3 or 4)...and got stung. i haven't picked one up since

gross. Not cute. Gross. I hate insects.

 |  Apr 22, 2007 at 02:16 PM

Aw, Short Tan, but this one's all fuzzy and cute!

But then, my SO FREAKS OUT around any sort of bee or wasp. He says they're the devil's tool. I say they are (mostly) harmless, and the little fuzzy bees are cute, too! I've just stopped pointing out bumble bees now.

Also, because I'm full of stories today, I have the BEST Botox story.

So, I was volunteering one day, teaching some young kids about pet care. This lady comes up who was clearly in her late thirties or early forties. Her face seemed sort of... stiff. She was wearing a pink velor track suit, had bleached blond hair, and, I noticed, had braces. I thought the braces were why she wasn't smiling. Then I said something that made her laugh and her mouth wouldn't move right. Suddenly I realized it was a bad case of botox. I hid my amusement (and horror), and soon I was done with the animal. I went to put it back, and looked out the glass doors. There I saw her chatting on her cell phone and smoking.

The irony is in that smoking makes you lose skin tone and wrecks your teeth. Poor, poor woman.

Never thought about it before, but bee-tocks ARE cute!
