Lots of bees this year. That must mean a lot of snow this year also!

Good one ezra! There seems to be an overabundance of Bee's, Wasp's, Hornet's this year for some reason. I have taken out 6 separate nesting area's so far. Thankfully none of them have latched onto any of my toy's, at least not yet. I don't get along well with those creatures, I swell up like a Macy's Day Parade balloon, funny, but no joke.-Mezz
Bee's, Wasp's, Hornet's … nesting area's … my toy's? (I have to wonder, why not creature's too???)
It's (it is) amazing to me how many folks use an apostrophe-s in plurals! Where on earth does that come from???
(So don't feel alone, Mezz!)
And why capitalize Bee's, Wasp's, and Hornet's? These are not proper nouns (i.e. names, like Opie Taylor's Aunt Bee).
Two bees, six wasps, fifty hornets, 6 nesting areas and all my toys… (plurals, no apostrophes!).
But we have "A bee's nest." (possessive, needs apostrophe) -- a nest belonging to a single lonesome bee (?); perhaps more correctly: The bees' nest (a nest belonging to more than one bee).
(Buy 'em books, and buy 'em books, and all they do is eat the covers.")

Frank, please put the last line in our quotes thread. Question, if those bees, wasps and hornets are viewed as very important, can't they be capitalized?
VIP bees, etc.?
There's no grammatical support for that, but maybe ALL CAPS for "VIP bees, wasps and hornets"?
Yup - hukt on fonics reely wurks. I learned how to use a bunch of words . You know things like "he be's wurkin right now" and "she be pretty cute". That's what they be teaching me.
Sorry frnash - I couldn't resist. �� I had to get this thread back on topic. Bees, be's and more bee's

I have yet to find a bees nest occupied by a single bee! Therefore, one could assume that all --bees' nests-- are community dwellers, and enjoy the fruits of shared duties.
2 bees or not two bees' that be dah question! Anyways....sum bunny has a bee in his bonnet...and prolly needs an eppy pen sunk into himself...er would that be oneself....I am just all corn-fused now!
