Do you kill bees and wasps?

I'm someone who if I see a bee or a wasp on the lawn I'll step on it to kill it before it gets the chance to attack and sting me. I did this yesterday at a family gathering and one of my cousins told me off and said it's wrong to kill them. This person isn't a vegetarian.
So do you kill bees and wasps or does it depend if they come into your house? I take the view it's better safe than sorry. :sleep:

I have never killed a bee but wasps....!
I've never heard of bees wantonly attacking humans!
We are not cave men - killing any threat perceived?
Last week I was at the local community bingo and this ugly hoverfly settled on the table and all my friends said kill it but I said no and put it out into the wide world..... then I won the top prize of £30! Karma?
Wasps, IMO, are a somewhat different little species. I'm not sure what purpose they serve (maybe someone could enlighten me), they can be wantonly aggressive little buggers and seem to go randomly crazy at the end of summer. I've only ever been stung by wasps, never bees. I tend to find wasps in my home, not bees (despite there being loads of bees in my garden with open windows close to the nest). I wouldn't kill a wasp for the hell of it. If I find one inside, I try to clap a glass over it, scoop it up and throw it out to its freedom. However, if it's wantonly bezzing around the kitchen and being a PITA, sadly, it's a job for the 'Raid'. I have other animals to consider and wouldn't put it past the cat or dog to try and catch it and get stung on the tongue for their efforts.
Thus giving it an agonising death! Its like someone disembowelling you alive! :eek: That's not nice!
Pretty much so imo...well done you on both counts!
I used to think that wasps should be wiped off the face of the eath too, but I found out a couple of years ago that wasps are as important to flora and fauna as bees and butterflies! You would notice the ecological disaster!
I kill them too if they are around me or in the house because of their indiscriminate nature of attack! But outside I try and let them go about their business!
Yeah. Their babies help decompose human flesh.
The maggots are the most important part of a flies life I think, because they eat all the rotten disease ridden stuff! Flies don't live very long I don't think, maybe a couple of weeks or so!
