    Save all bees. Except carpenter bees, which are to be terminated with extreme prejudice.

    (/s obviously, I’m sure they are important to the larger ecosystem somehow)

      I don’t mind bees if they’re minding their own business, but once those carpenter bees started trying to burrow or whatever into my shed and fence I was quite annoyed ha.

      It looks like they’re good pollinators, but leave my shit alone.

      Fucking carpenter bees (aka winged termites). Ironically, the males have no stingers but they are extremely aggressive and will kamakazi dive bomb you in the face repeatedly if you get near the entrance to the nest.
