There are so many different types of bees out there. Some of them are relatively harmless, while others have me screaming, jumping, and running for my life. Additionally, many of them look the same but are actually different species. If you’ve ever wondered how to know Yellow Stripey Things and which bees you should smile and wave at, and which ones you should be careful not to anger, check out this comprehensive guide to “yellow stripey things” to understand how to know Yellow Stripey Things better.
According to this chart, we don’t need to be afraid of carpenter bees, honeybees, bumblebees, or hoverflies. However, we should tread lightly when it comes to paper wasps, yellow jackets, cicada killers, and dirt daubers. I don’t know about you, but this bee chart gave me a good laugh. It’s a great way on how to know Yellow Stripey Things. For those frustrating times when you get stung but don’t see the culprit, learning to identify common bug bites can help you figure out what got you.
Thanks to Jason Kottke of Kottke.org for sharing this hilarious (but also somewhat helpful) guide! It definitely teaches us how to know Yellow Stripey Things. I’ll be sure to gently pet a bumblebee (aka a flying panda) the next time I see one.
