SUMMER IS RAPIDLY approaching us, and with the (hopefully) rising temperatures come the season’s nuisance – wasps and bees.

Bees have long been an object of curiosity for animals of all kinds. Pet owners have been posting these pictures on Reddit of the times when their animals have challenged bees, but sadly lost.

You’ll feel bad for laughing, but remember these stings were sustained by the animals trying to eat or kill the bees. Silly animals.

He just can’t bee-lieve it.

To eat the bee or not to eat the bee? That is the question.
