I was just reading something about how gardening helps depression. I guess there’s something in soil that increases serotonin. I should really start a garden but I’m afraid of bees 😱 like proper phobia

Gardening article
That’s most unfortunate. Bees are the gardener’s best friend and they’re dying off because too many people are using toxins. If bees die out, we’re next on the list. But I understand how you feel. I used to be afraid of bees until I started gardening. I learned from gardening that bees have their place and I have mine. As long as we stick to our own turf everything is fine. Also bees — especially bumble bees — aren’t aggressive. I can work in the garden with them flying all around me and not get stung. Now wasps, that’s a completely different story. They are very aggressive buggers — the Vladimir Putins of the insect world.

Solitary bees are rather easy, they don't defend their nest I've heard.

Yeah, I try to help them because I know they’re important, I just don’t want to be around them! I’ve gotten a little better about bumble bees… but I think we have a hornet or wasp or yellow jacket nest around us and sometimes I’ll just see something flying & yellowish out of the corner of my eye and still freak out 😂
