Im not sure how big your avg bumble bee is there but from where Im from 3 inches is huge. Id say the avg around here is 1.5 to 2 inches. I would almost say that is a suckass hornet. They are usually around the 3 inch mark. As long as its not the dreaded Giant Hornet you should be fine.

Now, FLIES, MOSQUITOS, and other various bugs are the worst. During the summer for some reason I ALWAYS get a fly inside my house, and it's not like we have piles of shit lying everywhere. Nothing is more satisfying than swatting a fly, knowing that you ended his insignificant life right then and there.
Mosquitoes? They bite, they give you itches, they make high-pitched sounds when they fly past you. What's not to hate? I usually bathe myself in Off! when I go outside. They really should distribute gas masks to my neighborhood then have a pesticide plane fly over.
Various bugs? THis year it seems to be these beetle-ish things that for the most part walk around but can also fly, making an annoying buzzing sound. They usually don't reveal themselves until the night. They are COMPLETELY FUCKING IMMUNE TO MY RAID SPRAY (although it's the anti-fly/mosquito/wasp type spray, I might need the roach spray) so I have to swat them multiple times to make sure they're dead.
Bees are meh, they are good for the environment and I see their worth. But those bugs I mentioned? Nu-uh. You're on my fucking property uninvited, I will treat you as an invader.
Brick was talking about the Giant hornet so I thought I's post a pic. I know what a bumble bee is.Negerkungen wrote:

We get a lot of wasps on the south side, and a few bumble bees, but they tend to ignore you.brickZ28 wrote:
lythberg. I use to live up by Peoria I have since move down by St Louis.
Heres are 3 distinctive pics
Bumble - http://www.warleambees.org/Images/bumble%20bee.jpeg
Hornet - http://www.naturenet.net/blogs/media/bl … t-dave.jpg
and the dreaded cocksuckin Mr. Giant H - http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/ … dha460.jpg
and I now kinda retrace. I suppose that if a huge fat thing flew in your face it would probably appear bigger, as all 3 of these areclose in size. Either its a shitty experience for you and as I am extremely allergic I probably no I would have ran and screamed like a little girl
Lol, you'd better fear them the other way around; bumble bees only sting out of self defense and they can only do it once then they die. Wasps can sting out of agression and their stinger grows back. I don't know if they "carry a magazine" and can sting you multiple times in a row thoughdavid363 wrote:
