      I don’t mind bees. It’s the ones that bite you for no reason at all that I can’t stand.

        Bite you for no reason?! You’re the one crushing their home and messing everything up!

          Exactly. I’d like to see OP’s reaction if a giant would crush his house and maybe even his loved ones.

            Little Fly,
            Thy summer’s play
            My thoughtless hand
            Has brushed away.

            Am not I
            A fly like thee?
            Or art not thou
            A man like me?

            For I dance
            And drink, and sing,
            Till some blind hand
            Shall brush my wing.

            If thought is life
            And strength and breath
            And the want
            Of thought is death;

            Then am I
            A happy fly,
            If I live,
            Or if I die.

          It makes you realize why we want to destroy the world so easily when we only ever see the world as being convenient for us only and not for all life no matter what shape or form it comes in.

        Bees and butterflies don’t pollinate all by themselves, FYI. Things that bite/sting also do a lot of pollination work! Flies, wasps, etc
