I should add that I would never have a bee costume, simply because I am TERRIFIED of bees.
Old childhood phobia -- never got over it, sorry to say. Snakes, other bugs don't bother me at all. But bees -- euww!
To this day, I'm afraid to eat outdoors. People tease me about it. With the holiday of Succoth coming up (Jews eat in booths), I'm in big trouble. Yellow jacket season.
(Actually, some of those beedog costumes look more like yellow jackets.)
oh i was going to ask when succoth was coming up! i knew it was around now, and yes yellow jackets are horrid at this time of year!
