May there be a language problem here? The Pakistani and Bangladeshi families I used to work with used 'bee' for anything buzzing around, be they flies, bees, wasps, and for the children, even a ladybird in flight. As usual, education is the key.......
:o :o If bees become extinct man would only survive a few years afterwards, according to Einstein.
My OH works in a nursery, and one day she came home and asked `Ladybirds are good insects ain't they?`I said yes, and asked why, appaerntly her boss had been telling the children that ladybirds are nasty, they bite and if you see one you should squash it.
I fear that 'I'm a Celebrity, Get me Out of Here' is making things worse, too - using insects only for the 'ugh' factor. A revolting way to treat wildlife, as Germaine Greer has pointed out. Yes I know she's pretty batty, but she does come out with lots of interesting points as well... :)
