Hymenoptera means "membrane wing" which I think is pretty neat.

I am quite afraid of bees and wasps, but I know how to be chill around them and haven't been stung yet. This is good because I also love them.

Man, I feel that.

I can't say I love wasps and hornets, but I respect them (well away from me), but I try to. They're terrifyingly beautiful.

But bees? As much as they make my nethers pucker up, I love those little guys.

But it took me years before I could stay chill around them instead of running away and screaming. Except bumbles, they've always been an exception to my phobia.
