I was in my shop this evening, using the bench grinder,.....when out of nowhere........This little bumblebee whizzes by me a couple of times and stings me on the right elbow!
Apparently, I had made him REALLY MAD!
It seems that 'once was not enough' for him. He kept diving at me........to the point I had to leave the shop for a couple minutes!
When he finally quit diving and buzzing, I crept back into the shop to see where he had went. He had lit on the backside of my handcrank blower handle.........in a place where I couldn't hit him of course....(I think he knew that!)
I looked frantically around the shop for the wd40, brake cleaner,,,,,,,well anything!
Believe it or not, all I could find was a spray bottle of liquid 'TurtleWax!
YEAH, LIKE THAT'S GONNA STOP HIM!!
Having nothing else, I sprayed him liberally with it, and within a minute or so he stopped moving,........
I guess he died of 'waxy buildup'!
Why can't I just find frogs or little turtles in my shop, like everyone else?
