Thought that would get a reaction, well when a bee stings it also releases an alarm pheromone called isopentylacetate [this rallies her mates to attack you] the same smell released by ripe bananas

P.S, Only the females have a sting

Thankyou I will think about the blog but it would be like trying to describe an alien world in a few words when you could write volumes. A final little fact bees are the only creatures in our world that give more back to nature than they take.

I will think about it but where would i start and finish, it is such a big subject, there are things like the bee dances [they even have a dance floor] in the hive, or the various jobs in the hive undertaker bees, heater bees, nurse bees, cleaner bees ect ect,or how they see the world, how the foregers navigate by using the sun and gravity, and of course the queen her life and times. or maybe i should tell you why you should not eat bananas near bees?
