Do yellow jackets get drunk? A social experiment:



UPDATE: Apparently. This one’s definitely not walking straight anymore, and I’ve had to fish him out twice after he fell in.

    What do you do with a drunken insect?

  3. :-D

    Maybe he didn't fly off because he was being a responsible aviator and observing the "8 hours bottle to throttle" rule.

    The Apocritans have been friendly lately. A bee landed on my arm at the Highland Games and just stayed there. I eventually, gently, shooed him away, only to discover that a wasp had attached itself to my shirt and was clinging there. He was asked to leave immediately, but still gently.

    It was a windy day, so I assume they were sheltering.

  5. Sounds like the Irishman who drowned in a vat of whisky, and had to get out twice to relieve himself.

  6. Terrible. Where's PETA when we need 'em?

    Except I have it on good authority that yellow jackets aren't particularly tasty animals, so maybe PETA doesn't care.

    My father, though, wouldn't have fished out of his soda--"That's flavor."
