If you're in need of being cheered up this afternoon, then look no further than this wonderful tweet about some trapped bees. Yes, you read that correctly.
It all started when comedy writer Simon Blackwell took to Twitter, in order to ask a very specific question about bees.
In a tweet, he wrote:
When you're letting a trapped bee out the window, everyone talks to the bee right?
When you're letting a trapped bee out the window, everyone talks to the bee right?— Simon Blackwell (@Simon Blackwell) 1560076853
It goes without saying that the tweet went extremely viral, which suggests that yes, everyone does talk to bees.
Maybe the bee will leave on its own accord?
@simonblackwell I usually try talking to the bee first in an attempt to persuade it to see sense and leave of its own accord.— Sarah Hemming (@Sarah Hemming) 1560110878
Turns out that people are saving their most polite conversation specifically for bees. Heaven forbid they find a 'blue bottle'.
And also a much more respectful conversation than would be had with daddy longlegs, too.

Out you go, little fella.
It also gets aggressive.
@simonblackwell Oh god yeah. It’s like a really aggressive intervention.— Daniel Benneworth-Gray (@Daniel Benneworth-Gray) 1560097832
And sort of heartwarming?

Classic 'out you go'.

Wasps, on the other hand, are incredibly rude.
@simonblackwell They understand tone of voice, whereas your wasp is oblivious to your kind intentions and is intent on your demise.— David Banks (@David Banks) 1560078539
Well, you'd better 'bee-lieve' it, speaking to bees is a real thing!
