    Fail title, those are wasps

  2. dsharp7th says:

    aren’t they wasps?

  3. K72 says:

    Secretly we all knew this day would come.

  4. Ray says:

    I think those are wasps, not bees.

  5. -jha- says:

    these bees use a wasp disguise! these bees really got balls!

    • worm says:

      Nah … they’ve just evolved to the point of comprehending strategy … are YOU gonna be the one to pick up that can and spray their hive now? ;-)

      • Emery says:

        I’m the one who took that picture: actually, I went home and got another can of the same stuff and sprayed the hell out of them! You can shoot it from 30 feet away and I did. This was in Washington state; we call them ‘yellow jackets’. I was out checking on why someone hadn’t replaced a geocache and almost stepped on their ground-nest myself.

  6. Raindancer says:

    Damn, that is some EFFECTIVE wasp spray. Keeping those things miles away like that….

  7. Glicks says:

    NO ONE CARES IF THEY’RE WASPS NOT BEES!

    NO ONE IS GIVING YOU A PRIZE FOR POINTING IT OUT!

    *sucks on a paper bag*

  8. MopTop says:

    ::toke, toke, toke:: Duuuuude, you gotta try some of this s@#%…

  9. Eric says:

    Content ripoff much?

  10. TheUltamate says:

    Always seems to happen to me, too, so here’s what I do when I’ve got a bunch of wasps in the area: fill a cup with raid and water, put a stick in it, and set it outside. The wasps flock to it, fall in, crawl out, and then die right there.

  11. greebothecat says:

    btw, I don’t know if anyone has already mentioned that, but these are WASPS not bees!

  12. Kit says:

    They’re yellow jackets, which are closer to hornets than wasps or bees. Now shut up and enjoy the irony of bugs crawling on the bug spray. :P

  13. sventrom says:

    Everything was just fun and games until Fat Ferry got tired and landed on the push-to-spray button.

  14. ShirleyUjest says:

    Glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed this. I even e-mailed the company to tell them how good their product is…the insects just freakin’ love it!!!

    And yes, they are Yellow Jackets.

    Bees have rounder bodies (and look different).

    Wasps are usually reddish or yellow with black…and no stripes!

  15. Marsman says:

    All those Bees/wasps/yellow jackets give me the creeps.

    • Emery says:

      AND they nest in the ground! Muah hah hah…… (says he, still terrified).

      • Hawknight says:

        Or on the ceiling of the porch, or the roof overhang, or the shed door, or just about anywhere they damn well please. Ground nests are the worst though since you don’t usually notice them until it’s too late.

        And by too late I mean they’re coming to get you for running it over with the lawn mower.

  16. oweinh says:

    OBTW in case no one mentioned it (because I NEVER read the previous comments) these are yellowjackets, not bees.

  17. Emery says:

    Day 14: The zombie killer bees have brought their human counterparts. I don’t know which I’m more afraid of. They’re ALL wearing yellow jackets…….

  18. Gamereg says:

    Reminds me of the time I was spraying down a wasp nest. I felt a tickling sensation on my spray hand, and there was a wasp on it! It was like in “Arachnophobia” where the guy’s looking for the spider and it’s on his shovel.

  19. Kitty says:

    Those are not closer to hornets than wasps, they are wasps. “Yellow Jacket” is just American for wasp. Why would you think people would be confused about what a wasp looks like? They’re not exactly rare and exotic. Though apparently some people don’t know what bees look like.

  20. Eva says:

    It _does_ matter to tell your bees from your wasps. Bees – make honey, don’t sting unless they absolutely has to as it’s likely to finish them off. Wasps – eat ice-cream, sting for fun.

  21. Synsei says:

    Wasps are the Chavs of the insect world… :D

  22. forge says:

    That’s how those things work – the bugs smell that stuff and go UUMMMM YUMM YUMM YUMMM and get it all over them, and then the delayed-reaction poisons kill EVERYBODY AND THEIR SISTER. Some kinds of sprays even use sex pheromones so the wasps are all like OO BAYBEE C’MON I GOTCHA RIGHT HERE OOO OOO.

  23. Dexaan says:

    NO! NOT THE BEES!

  24. judalea says:

    these look to me like what we call European Wasps in Australia. I think they first arrived in shipping containers with imported products. We have to be very careful with drink cans, as they will crawl into the hole and when you take a drink, they get washed into your mouth – hence the advice to use straws. And when they first appeared, we were told to use red light (cellophane over a torch [flashlight]), netting over hats, to deal with the nests at night because they were aggressive, but that was how they were treated in Europe. Just a can of fly spray, or a dedicated dust product scattered around their nest will do the trick, as they track it back into the nest and kill all the little stingers.

  25. y says:

    Those r wasps.

    derp

  26. IleanaDU says:

    Yellow jackets are a type of Wasp and they can have a yellow stripe pattern:

  27. Erik says:

    That wasp is a spy!

  28. Fred says:
