Fly on a rope

geeza · 15 Apr 2007 at 20:01

Today we were out sunbathing and there was a hover fly annoying us. One of our mates said she used to catch bee's and freeze them for 10minutes, tie a piece of nylon thread to its leg then put it back in the sun to let it wake up.
When it wakes you have a bee that flies off still attatched.

We cought the hoverfly and froze it for a bit, then put it in th sun to let it wake up. It flew off taking the thread with it, after a few minutes it came free and flew off. Im going to try it soon with wasps because bees are nice and have for a purpose (unlike wasps)

Its fun

It's also false imprisonment

Bee on a string, got the idea from a CKY video years ago, works well but just don't let go with the string on as they could get caught in something which is a bit cruel (although so is putting them in the freezer and such)

Have to agree with CBS, it's cruel.

quoted for truth...also, how do you have enough free time to waste it torturing animals/insects w/e

Try attaching two or more of these creatures together with the thread. I wonder what they would do when they all fly off.

I did this once, and the wasp just flew at my face, and I just ran away from it like little girl whilst still holding the string...

Ah but what is a purpose?

I don't understand? So you'd have the bee on a lead? Then what? You rip it's leg off? I don't quite understand.

Never knew that you could freeze them and they'd wake up again afterwards?

Anyway, I hope they sting you and you have a nice big allergic reaction.

The Bee says: It's fun!

I demand a bee-chariot race, NOW.
