I was sitting in my living room, working. I hear a loud buzzing, and look up to see a huge bumble bee flying across the living room. then he hits the window, and does what bees do, he freaked out.
so i got a ziploc container, you know, cheap tupperware and caught the bee. Now he is REALLY pissed.
i set the lid on only half-assed so i could just toss him outside. so i throw it. instead of the lid popping off and releasing the bee, it snaps on tighter, and, of course, the bee is even more pissed now that he has been thrown and slammed into the ground.
So, i pick it up, loosen the lid, and throw it again. Same thing. So i try it one more time. Same thing.
So i end up just opening it and it flies off. Because its a bee. And bees dont pick fights with 200 lb men, they fly off.
I swear, if it had been video taped, it would have been the rage of youtube for a day or two.

It was a bumble bee. the honey bee population is the one that is declining. However, i may have started a trend.

Bumblebee...I don't know if we have those here...
Up a little further north from here, we have these giant wasp/bee type things I've seen a couple of times, they're like 2-3 inches long, and a dark orange colour - I've never seen one act agressively and they don't tend to fly in swarms, just solo...
Lots of honeybees around here though, I didn't realise there was any kind of shortage, it's one of our larger industries?
I like the story...I'd have done something....relatively similar.

Once, this blue bottle fly was bugging me, so I got a little action man weapons box I had, empties it out (It was a bit smaller than a digital camera), trapped the fly inside. Well, a year or two later, I found the box...and the fly. It was only when I poked it with a pencil that the outside crumbled to reveal it had become hollow.
did it look like Jerry Seinfeld - because then your life is a comedy (well, a badly animated and poorly scripted one - but a comedy nonetheless)
