I usually get the "But they always sting me" type answer. Do you then ask how many times they have *actually* been stung? More often than not the answere to that direct question is "never" or "er I think a couple of times". Their fear of being stung is not supported by the facts... With the possible exception of one gent who lives near me who has been stung many times by bees and wasps. Although he is a budhist, he will swat them as a last resort :~((. Mostly, though, you're quite right, but people just don't want to learn. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |
