You've heard the expression, "mad as a bumblebee." It's a rather unfair assessment, though. I've never been stung by a bumblebee. I can walk amongst them in my garden, even brushing up against them and not be stung. Bees, however, will sting if they feel threatened. Stepping into a ground bee nest is not a good thing, or trapping a flying bee in your hands would not bode well for you either. Scripture tells us we should be slow to anger. How many bees have lost their lives because someone inadvertently made them feel threatened. Once they go on the defensive we are quick to kill them because we feel threatened. This is how wars get started.
