BubbleBees

It is so hard to blog when you do absolutely nothing all day.  I woke up, ate some pancakes, attempted to watch a movie (a stupid tape that wouldn't rewind all the way, grr), and then I continued to laze around on my bed.  Not to be lazy, however, but it was all because I'm sore, tired, and still a little sick.   I hate hate hate the stupid goldenrod and pollen everywhere.  I really need to get a bubble to hop around in.  I'll be BubbleGirl!!  That would be so cool!  I wonder if I could roll around...

Anyway, I've been in a debate with so many people lately about bumble bees.  The question is...do they sting or do they not?  I stand firmly on my belief that yes, they do indeed sting ( I even looked it up on wikipedia, not that that is a very valuable source or anything, but still).   My sister and a few others think they don't.  There was an article in the Times Herald Record about insect and animal bites and what to do about them.  I scanned the article quickly and to my dismay, they didn't list which kinds of bees sting.  I did, however, find out something I never ever knew!!   You get more allergic to bee stings (if you are indeed, allergic) each time you get stung!   So kids who get a mild reaction at first may be susceptible to the kind of symptoms that could land them in the hospital.  It all has to do with the immune system fighting it which causes all the symptoms.  Oh the things you learn while reading random articles in a local newspaper...
