I might as well ask this since I got stung or bit by a bee yesterday during America day.
Last year, when taking strolls, it was rare enough for a bee to swarm around me that I could go whole strolls without it happening sometimes.
This year, they swarm around me everywhere. Everywhere. It’s like fighting your way through putty patrollers. They respawn instantly, there’s absolutely no lag. Shoo one away and one comes back five seconds later. Sometimes for three hour strolls encompassing six miles.
What the heck happened? Anyone else notice this?
Yes, European bees to be specific (though not actually in Europe, European bees are just an invasive species here because people thought they’d be more productive than local bees if brought over, with the American bumblebee being endangered). If I was dealing with wasps, I’d probably be in much bigger trouble being stung/bitten, though fortunately the ones I deal with are more like flu shots when they strike, and I’m not allergic.
