    A couple years ago I rescued a yellow jacket from my basement. For the next few weeks, every time I went outside, I had one yellow jacket following me around.

    Not a bee story…but cute nonetheless.

      I think a good contrast to this is when my dad saved a goose he accidentally snared in his fishing line. If flew straight across mid-cast.

      He had to reel it in while it honked and freaked out and and tried to bite him but after that, they were pals.

      Brought its goslings to see him on subsequent visits and everything.

        Would it be better to say I rescued my family from a yellow jacket? Who rescued whom?

        When I was growing up, what I remember calling “yellow jackets” were small yellow and black things, smaller than a bee. When I Google yellow jacket, I get images of flying death machines with a badass livery. Maybe you have different yellow jackets? Just a guess.

    • Years ago we had a big ass yellowjacket nest above our front door. They were calm enough so I never removed them, and they kept the salesmen and soul savers the fuck away.
