So this is a tricky one to write as I know it will be a bit triggering and create a debate that I don’t want to create, but I want to just put this out there.
At the weekend I was somewhere and saw a group of girls (early 20’s) panicking and squashing something against a window and saying kill it.
I’m not one for killing anything but they seemed panicked, and it was noticeable.
When they removed what they had been using to squash the offending thing, I saw a bumble bee fall off the window, I was and still am gutted I didn’t see them panicking about this sooner and offer to remove the bee, at the time I didn’t say anything as to be honest I was a bit gob smacked anyone would do this, especially to a bee.
I don’t understand the panic bees, flies, wasps etc create and I don’t want to shame or ridicule anyone who does fear / panic in these situations, I just want to ask people Please ask someone to remove any little critter that is bothering you. And if the person you ask says oh just squish it ask someone else. Nothing deserves this for the 10 seconds it will take to pop it back out side.
Bees for one will never hurt you, id happily remove anything to save it and calm someone down then watch anything get squished again.
Please people bee kind…
Still gutted for a buzzy little bee, that I wish I’d spotted sooner.
