Stupid Bee

Gahh! I hate this stupid bee!!!
Every day, it comes and hovers in the middle of my deck. It, or one of its ancestors, did this all last summer too. I try to coexist with it, but it dive bombs me when I’m sitting on the deck floor trying to do yoga in the sun. And it’s the size of a small bird.
Honestly bee? I’m about five minutes away from leaving a two-litre bottle of Coke with just a little Coke in the bottom out for you to get trapped in and die. That is how serious I am about you getting the hell off my deck.

The bees and I on our back deck have an agreement. They’ll continue to hover there, patrolling the giant berry-ish tree that sits directly beside our back patio/stairway, and I’ll continue to panic like a four-year-old girl for the entire blossoming season.
It’s a simple agreement, and one that seems to work for both sides. I’ve considered taking aggressive measures, but since a) there are so many of them, and they do love our tree so, that there would be an endless supply of them, making any sort of culling measures worthless, and b) they clearly know where I live, I feel they would be fully able to respond accordingly.
And I agree on the ridiculous size of the city’s bumblebees. How something the size of a small dinner roll manages to be aerodynamic enough to fly, I’ll never have a firm enough grasp of physics to understand.
