I've held bees many times and I was ok. The only time I got stung by a bee was when I accidentally stepped on the poor little thing. :( The title of this post bothers me, though, "someone noticed bumble bees are cute". Sorry I'm being rude, but how could people be so ignorant? Like hello, I found bumble bees to be cute at the age of 5! But then again, we are talking about internet as a whole and Internet=full of ignorant and stupid people. Sorry for the hate but really, I've always thought bumble bess' cuteness is a common folk's knowledge. Correct me if I'm wrong.

or if you smell like a flower. or look like a flower.

@Zori, to be fair, i was terrified of any bees of any kind until i was 14. even then i didnt find them cute. i think your long held vision of them being cute may make you a bit biased. after all there are people out there afraid of puppies. and i damn sure am not scared of puppies but for dying to their cuteness and being covered in puppy kisses.
