As you know earlier this year I cancelled our trash service in an effort to reduce our household waste {and save $400+ this year}. After 3 weeks of living the almost zero waste lifestyle, my biggest hurdle so far is plastic wrappers and saran wrap. They seem to be integrated into every part of modern society, don’t they?

But then I remembered my friend Jane and her post about Bees’ Wrap she wrote a few years ago and that I actually bought a set of Bee’s Wrap when we lived at our old house.

They arrived. I tried them out and I’m not going to lie, they were AWESOME. I immediately began using them to wrap my pies and casseroles. And then I wrapped my cheese in them. And then my leftovers. And soon it was, “Move over plastic wrap. There’s a new food wrap in town.”

How could I have forgotten about them? Where did they go when we moved? Ga! Now I’m going to have to wait until next year to purchase a new set because I’m on a spending freeze this year. Boooo!

Bee’s Wrap is a crazy cool alternative food wrap. One that’s so kind to our environment and yet keep food fresher than ever.

The combination of organic cotton muslin infused with beeswax, jojoba oil and tree resin makes for the perfect alternative to plastic for food storage. Plus the cloths are loaded with the antibacterial properties of beeswax and jojoba oil that not only help keep food fresh but allow them to be used again and again. Bee’s Wrap products are reusable, biodegradable and compostable. Three of my favorite things!

And guess what?

One of YOU, is going to win a set of 3 Wraps {small, medium and large} plus a Bread Wrap.

Comments

    • If I were a bee I would sting my son. He needs a good sting in butt. At almost thirty years old he needs to find his own place and move out of mom and dads place. He has been a pain in the *** to me it’s about time I return the favor! Oh by the way, I do love my son!!

      • Lori,
        I’m with you. My son is 46 and has never grown up. He still whines, continually has his hand out for one kind of help or another, and is totally unable to hold a job or maintain relationships. He just continually alienates everyone. So, a “sting” in the *** would be great.

    • Just watching the nightly news when I read this post and the first person that came to my mind is Donald Trump! I’ve got a nephew who was stung in the lip and I can picture Trump like that. He would have no choice but to be quiet ……for a little while anyway.

    • My first thought, too! Though actually, I’d like to deliver one to every politician running a negative campaign. That wouldn’t leave many out, would it?

  3. I would sting myself on those days when I am overwhelmed and tired and don’t feel like meal prepping which almost always leads me to the temptation of eating either fast food or processed food. I need the bee sting to remind myself that a little bit of time now prepping healthy foods will go a long way in the long run!

  4. If I were a bee, I would most like to sting that one irritating person in my family who never seems to have anything nice to say unless it’s to make themselves look good. Not going to name names, in case they read your blog too, lol.

    • I would sting my fiancé ‘s ex-wife in the butt! She’s been a pain in our behinds for too long so it’s time to return the favor! Hee hee buzzzzzbuzzzzz!

    • If I were a bee, I am not sure that I would want to sting anyone, for fear of dying, but if I had to, I’d sting Monsanto, too!

  9. Hmm, there’s a few candidates for a bee stinging, but honestly if it came down to it I don’t think I would actually sting them. 🙂 Just let nature take its course.

    • I would sting ANYONE who uses chemicals in their gardens. It’s just how we need to protect our water, air and planet. Plain & simple.

  11. I would sting negative people and would probably just chase my son for fun 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway.

  15. If I were a bee, I would sting my boss. He’s almost always yelling at someone who’s not doing anything wrong.

  17. Hmmm — there are so many possibilities of people to sting, but I’m going to go with Martin Skrelli (Or however you spell his name.)

  19. Honestly, if I were a bee, I wouldn’t sting anybody. I’d like to stay alive and keep eating that sweet honey! LOL

  20. I would moist likely sting my daughter Meagan. I don’t know why…….she is a bee magnet from way back!

  21. Maybe you will find your old ones as you continue your purging goal!
    I have a few people I would like to sting just to wake them up!

  22. The wraps look fantastic! The list is long, but a certain person that comes in to where I work and makes us workers’ jobs miserable, simply because she can.

  25. Not sure that I would want to sting anyone and end my little bee life. First thought would be to sting one of my children when they seem unable to get out of bed for school!

  26. I wouldn’t sting anyone. Massive abdominal rupture after stinging someone sounds like a bad way to go.

  29. I dont think I would go after anyone in particular… I think I would be a fairly happy bee- I mean think about it, you get to fly around and visit the coolest gardens and wild flowers, fruit trees and yards. It kinda sounds like a great gig! But for the purpose of this entry I would sting the person who shoo’s me away. I mean seriously, just minding my own bee business and that horrid human doesn’t understand I am doing them a favor pollinating their yard! The nerve. *It’s entirely possible I have given this way too much thought but considering were all gardening enthusiasts I believe I am in good company 😉

  30. What a great product! Thanks for the chance to try it! 🙂 I can’t think of a single person I’d like to sting…..I just keep thinking about how much it hurts me when I get stung.

  32. I would definitely sting Donald Trump.

    On another note, since you are on a spending freeze, couldn’t you make your own (maybe lower quality version) to hold you through the year with just some fabric and bee’s wax?

  34. What a beautiful wrap! Throwing plastic away always makes me wonder where it will land and when it will disintegrate, if ever.

    As for stinging a “who” of choice, if I’m a worker honeybee I won’t sting mammals, human or other, because their thick skin would pull the barbed stinger out of my abdomen, killing me! So I choose to sting the grubs in my tomato patch. Grrrr!

  36. I came across the bee’s wraps a few months back, but I too have been trying to limit my unnecessary spending. If I was a bee, I too would sting Donald Trump, specifically during a speech. I’m sure it would at least yield an entertaining, off-the-cuff rant!

  40. Is love to try bee wraps! I’d sing that fluffy grey cat that harasses me and my cats from outside the window at 3AM!

  41. Not sure if it’s pissible but….If I were a bee I would sting all the grammar police that have to point out grammatical errors in comment sections (people are only trying comment, not be graded).

  45. Reusable, biodegradable and compostable; what’s not to love? If I were a bee I would most like to sting Donald Trump for being a misogynist windbag.

  46. I would sting Bernie Sanders. He wigs out so much on stage that I bet it would be quite comical to see him get stung in the ol “beehind”. Haha

  51. Hmmmmm….. that’s a tough question because in general I don’t like to hurt people, even the ones I’m not so fond of at times. But knowing that they would survive, I’d sting a pesky neighbor!

  53. If I were a honey bee, I wouldn’t sting anyone because it means certain death. Instead, I’d just keep visiting flowers and collecting pollen, enjoying a day full of sunshine.

    Mavis, I downloaded instructions on how to make bees wrap. If you do a google search, I’m sure you’ll find directions (if not, let me know I’ll find the directions). More gifts for you to make for people on your gift list.

    • Great suggestion to DIY – I had never heard of these wraps before… I have found a good link and I reckon I can source the wax locally easily!! Thank-you!

  54. I have been coveting one of these wraps!

    I don’t have it out for any particular person, but if there was someone trying to hurt a child, I volunteer my stinging services.

  55. Do you think you’ll end up having to replace your current supply of Saran Wrap this year? If so it would seem you could buy bee wrap as an essential purchase at that point right?
    As a bee I think I would have to go with stinging Donald trump too, like so many before me :/

  57. I was going to say I would sting Trump but then the other comments reminded me I would die doing that. Don’t want him to be my last sight so I would say I would enjoy myself finding flowers and making honey.

  58. No stinging for me, too busy collecting pollen–but thanks for the chance to enter 🙂 (I did a DIY wrap and was mildly satisfied–would love to try the real stuff.)

  59. Do I have to sting someone. I’d rather buzz merrily about and go about making honey. Thanks for the give-away.

  60. I’m allergic to bee stings, so I just could not wish that on anyone! I had heard about these wraps a while back and forgot about them. Thanks for the reminder!

  61. That’s a really hard one as I generally choose to turn the other cheek. If I had to pick someone, there has been someone that hasn’t been able to empathize with my young child that has a food allergy.

  64. I wouldn’t sting anyone. I want to live a happy pollen collecting life as a bee and that would kill me too. But if I had to pick it would be Hilary Clinton.

  65. You crack me up! I’d rather not sting anyone, although I did think just briefly about a certain presidential candidate.

  66. I would have to agree with the others that I’d love to sting donald trump…and probably right on the tip of his nose! 😉 Thanks for hosting a great giveaway I’ve really wanted to try this stuff.

  70. As a Canadian watching the American politics, I would sting Trump–I think American’s (and everyone else for that matter) deserve better.

  72. If I were a bee, i would sting the cat that keeps marking his territory all around and under my house so that my house stinks every time the heat comes on. I love animals, but this is a very stomach turning smell and it is uncalled for to choose my home to do that to in my opinion.

  75. I would most definitely sting Donald Trump. And of I could do it twice, I would do it again.

  77. Maybe I’d just hover in a threatening way by people at the park who are looking at their cell phones instead of their kids.

  78. I would love to get these! I hate wasting money on things that get thrown away almost immediately.

    If I were a bee I wouldn’t sting anyone! I would want to live. Now if I were a wasp and could sting as many times as I wanted, there’s a list 😉

  79. Those wraps look awesome. I would sting the procrastinator in myself to get my butt moving on those winter doldrum days we tolerate here in the northeast.

  80. i would love a set of these bee wraps. but i would be torn…send to mavis because she has made a pledge not to buy anything? or help her figure out where her old ones are? if i were a bee, i would not want to sting anyone…because it would mean my own death.

  83. I would sting the person who uses the R-word as a casual, frequent vocabulary word without realizing the hurt it causes many people with different abilities and their family members and friends. Bees do good in this world! Their sting is meant as protection and it’s a huge sacrifice.

  84. Wow, Trump better hope none of us become bees!! I would also sting him – especially when he’s in the middle of interrupting people speaking. Didn’t his parents teach him manners? (And it would totally worth my death!!)

    Thanks for the opportunity 🙂

  86. These sound great! If I were a bee, living in my backyard, odds are it would be my husband. Its not gardening season unless he gets stung a least once.

  87. Yep, Donald Trump or the makers of Monsanto. Both could potentially destroy us.
    Bee wraps look fantastic! Thanks for inspiring us to be better people, Mavis!

  89. LOL, My ex – right on the end of his nose and GOOD enough that he could see it and it would drive him crazy 🙂

  93. I would probably need a few bees for this one…one for each congressperson who would want to stand in the way of the next supreme court nominee being chosen in the next year 😉 Heh. I love bees!

  94. As a bee, I’d be a wimp. I’d sting no one, because I’ve been stung several times and it hurts really bad! LOL
    I’ve never heard of these. Would you be willing to post more information on where to get them? I’d really appreciate it, and thanks!

  99. idk if i sting someone do i die ? then none… but id that is not the case then i would sting Donald trump on his bum

  106. Maybe Kim Jong-Un…right in the middle of the forehead. I would like to see the tantrum that results from that. 😉

  107. I’ve been wanting to try these forever!! Oh, the list to sting is endless, but sadly, probably a family member.

  109. Ouch! This is tricky! Anyone I’d like to inflict a sting upon, I don’t want to get close enough to actually sting them.
    How about, this handsome guy that I went on two really great dates with and then never heard from him again. David. Grrrrrr. Or should I say BUZZZZZZZ!

  111. I’d sting Donald Trump, of course—on the lips or tongue. Maybe the swelling would keep him from talking for a while.

  112. Just read about them this morning. Looks like a great product. I would sting a certain presidential candidate.g

  113. Oh, Mavis…you’re a hoot! The wraps sound so useful and frugal. Right up my alley!
    With my luck, the person I pick to sting would have a life threatening bee allergy, they would indeed die and I’d go to prison for life! Ugh. I’ll pass on stinging. 😀
    Thanks for the cool and unusual giveaway!

  114. If I were a bee, I’d sting our local weatherman who can’t see to get the forecast right lately.

  115. I’d sting the turd who stole my yellow Adirondack chair off my porch. One of a set. Who does that? Yes I would sting that person. In an inconvenient place like between the toes or on an eyelid so he’d be reminded.

  119. Well…if I were a bee I’d rather not sting anyone…because it just wouldn’t be very nice…and I’d be too busy working with my colony in providing honey…and whatever bees do best.

    But…if I had to sting something or someone it would be those that are killing off nature with chemicals just to make a profit…with no thought of others and what they are doing to this earth.

  122. I wouldn’t sting anybody. I’d be too happy buzzing around the flowers and goofing with the other bees.

  123. If I were a bee I would sting an animal abuser. It would be worth my death that way. Adam on America’s Test Kitchen said in one episode that he saves every little scrap of plastic wrap that comes on anything he buys. He washes it and saves it in a pile to use over and over. I thought that was so sweet to mention on the show.

  125. Let’s see. you want just one.
    Lets go big bagdadi (however its spelled) the spiritual leader of isis.

  126. I would come to your neighborhood and sting one of your pesty, noisy HOA members! Never heard of the these wraps. Thanks, again!

  129. If I were a bee I would like to live a long and healthy life. But if I had to sting someone, it definitely would be someone who is hurting my children. Taking them out would be worthy of my death! ( Spoken like a true Warrior Momma- LOL)

  130. If I were a bee a would sting the people who are rushing through life and don’t ever stop to smell the roses once in
    awhile.

  132. Thanks for the opportunity, I’ve been interested in trying these quite a while but haven’t taken the plunge. If I HAVE to sting someone – after I’ve finished all my bee research of course – I’d choose a not so nice neighbor or Donald Trump. So hard to choose….

  133. Hi! I would totally sting the first person who said either of these two phrases: “Don’t take this personally, but…” or “I was only kidding, you’re sooooo sensitive!” They need a good sting, (or two!) 🙂

  135. I’d sting one of our volleyball players who is always negative and gets mad when his team doesn’t win.

  136. If I were a bee, I would sting drivers that drive slowly in the passing lane and back up traffic.

  138. I would wait until Hillary and Donald were shaking hands and sting in such a way as to get both of them with one strike. It would be worth it to sacrifice myself for the good of the hive.

  140. I got this off the PBS website: And while the hornet and the wasp are known for being more aggressive, honeybees are more docile, and typically only attack when threatened.

    “A wasp or a bumblebee can sting again and again, but the honeybee only gets you once, and it’ll get you good,” Mussen said.

    So I have to agree that I don’t think if I was a honey bee I would sting anyone.

    But I love the chance to win some bees wrap!

  146. I would sting the handsome husband (HH). Most days he deserves it, maybe it would smarten him up.

  147. That person in the neighborhood who uses nothing but plastic and paperware ALL summer and NEVER recycles.

  151. Mean people. There is just too much anger and meanness these days. Just stop, everybody. Life is too short to be pissed off all the time.

  154. The next idiot who runs a leaf blower outside our window for an hour when there is *nothing on the ground.*

  155. Only one sting? BAH! I can think of several appropriate stings, but since we need honey bees so badly for so many reasons, and because their population is decreasing, I will squash my desire to sting. I loved this article, as well as many more things about your blog.

  157. If I were a bee, i wouldn’t sting anyone. I’m allergic to them and I wouldn’t want anyone to go through that pain and itching.

  158. Like Sara above says, I would sting the neighbor’s cat too! Or maybe just the neighbor who lets their cat roam freely and poop all over my yard!

  159. I wouldn’t sting anyone. But these are so easy to make Mavis. Do you not have a bit of beeswax hanging around your house?

  161. If I were a bee, I would sting…..all the politicians in Washington D.C……maybe a sting would get their attention to what is happening to our bee population and the sad state affairs that all the bug killers, GMO etc is doing to the bees, the food supply.

  162. Since honey bee’s die after stinging I wouldn’t want to sting anyone. Except my HB but that is another story 🙂

  163. Call me a weirdo, but I would not sting anyone if I were a bee. I’m allergic to bee venom and go into anaphylaxis when stung (hello, epi pens!!).

    So, there you have it. 🙂

  164. I’d be a very busy bee because I’d be stinging all the inconsiderate people who leave their trash scattered on the ground, their babies dirty disposable nappies in the car park, their cigarette butts in the beach sand, their dog’s poo along a pristine walking trail. The universe does not magically take care of these things.

  166. I think I would like to sting my old landlord who never would get repairs done on things like our sewer, while we were busy shoveling sewage out of our basement not having the ability to use water in our home. Thank god for helpful neighbors who let us use their bathroom.

  167. You’re just a bee charmer, aren’t you, Mavis?! 😉

    If I were a bee, I would most like to sting a wasp, so they would know what it feels like. 😉

  174. The people who don’t follow the rules and have to be first in the school drop off line before letting their kids out blocking everyone! In middle and high school your child can walk a few feet to the door. 500+ kids need dropped off in 15 minutes!

  175. Oh, if I was a bee, I would dance from flower to flower, enjoy the summer sun on my wings, have a sniff at this nectar Or that one collect pollen in my pantaloons, lick the honey off my tootsies and enjoy wiggling my bum in the hive and try not to sting anything, so that I could do it all over again tomorrow!

  176. If I were a bee, I would search out the queen wasp in our area and sting her. We are overrun with wasps and I’m so done with them.

  177. If I were a bee I would sting any of the higher ups that work for Monsanto. Think they’ve done enough to “help” our ecosystem.

  178. My 11 yr. old daughter is keeping bees. Coming up on a year now. We found out the hard way that she is severely allergic to bee stings, so she is getting shots every week to build up her immunity. So I’m not sure I’d “sting” anyone, but I should would love to win this wrap.

  180. If I were a bee, I would sting Mother Nature right now. In the past 8 days we have gotten between 1/2 to 1″ of snow each of the six days that it snowed. There is nothing that I can do with the small amount of snow. I want to either cross country ski or snow shoe with my dogs. But these small amounts of snow do not add up to anything except make the roads a mess. Come on Mother Nature – either put up or shut up!!!!!!

    Have a great day!!!!!

  184. I would hate to sting anyone, but if I had to… it would definitely be the producers and users of neonicotinoids!

  188. If I were a Bee…well…I would sting whoever was too close to my hive. I want my honey for my queen!!! 😉

  190. I’m not sure I would want to sting anyone….might not be the last thing I would want to do! 😉

  191. Yes, I would like a set of those wraps! I wouldn’t want to sting anyone, unless they were doing something harmful to children or animals, and then ZAP!

  192. Yes, I would like a set of those wraps! I wouldn’t want to sting anyone, unless they were doing something harmful to children or animals; they are so vulnerable.

  193. Even though I would like to (sting my MIL), I wouldn’t sting anyone because I wouldn’t want to die. 🙂

  195. I would sting anyone who throws trash out their car window. This weekend I noticed a large amount of trash in parking lots. Who does that?

  199. Yes, I would like a set of those wraps! I wouldn’t want to sting anyone, unless they were doing something harmful to children or animals, and then STING!

  200. I would sting the little kitty that hangs out in the bush under my bird feeder trying to get a bird (the sting would be a warning but not hurt the kitty too badly).

  201. I’d like the bee and some of his/her friends to sting me so I can see if the bee venom cure really does help my arthritis symptoms. 🙂

  202. I would like the bee to sting the person who made the decision to cancel the TV series Veronica Mars. I still love and miss that show.

  205. I have to admit, the Trumpster is the first name that comes to mind. Not that I wish anyone ill will, but I find it comical to imagine him running from a bee. And I sure would like to try those food wraps.

  209. I would like to sting the skunk that came around here in the middle of the night and fouled the air so bad I couldn’t get back to sleep. I’ve been awake since 2 am and it STILL SMELLS AWFUL!!

  210. I would sting my mother-in-law, but only if I were a bald-faced hornet so could sting her more than once (and live). She’s been a pain in my butt for years, and I would love to return the favor! 😉

  211. If I were a bee I would sting those nasty people that spray their lawns with bad stuff that kills,
    all the honey bees

  212. If I were a bee, I’d sting the owners of Monsanto or Poland Spring. Too tempting 😉 Thanks for sharing Bee Wraps!

  219. I don’t believe in repaying evil for evil, so I probably wouldn’t sting any people. But maybe the cat who keeps getting in my trash. 😉

  221. Not sure I am aggressive enough to sting anyone unless my family was at risk and I needed to save them. The only time I have ever been stung was when I laid down on a bee by the pool and squished it. I would say I deserved the pain for killing it!

  226. I would sting the person at my office who leaves an enormous mess in the kitchen and expects someone else will clean it up.

  228. I would most like to sting American Express for high interest rates and for “stinging” the merchants!!! Good news? Come April of this year, we will be CREDIT CARD FREE!!! Not only no consumer debt but NO credit cards! Yep! That is who I’d like most to sting! Thanks for this terrific giveaway Mavis! Cheeryshirley

  231. I would sting the person who yelled at me on the phone at work yesterday. All I did was answer the phone.

  234. I would love to try those wraps. I wouldn’t want to sting anyone so I could keep on living. Although buzzing around and bothering people would be fun!

  235. I don’t want to sting anyone, I just want to be a busy bee and enjoy the sunshine and the pollen (and then sleep through the winter).

  240. Good job on the zero waste front. I too find that most of my trash is plastic wrap of some sort or other.
    If I were a bee, I would sting people who litter. People throwing junk out the window of their cars drives me crazy!

  243. I wouldn’t really want to sting anyone, but probably someone spraying pesticides that kills us bees!

  244. If I were a bee, I’d probably like to sting my boss. I’d refrain though, because it would be the end of me and he’d get over it. 🙂

  245. I would sting the person that decided the time to empty the dumpster that is right outside our window is 7:43 am Saturday. They always bang it a couple of times to get the last bits out. Bzzzzzz!

  246. As much as I would hate to do it, I would have to sting my granddaughter. Because, at 8 1/2, she’s the sweetest thing I kmow! As a bee, that’s what I would want!

  250. The rat that has taken up residence in my yard and demolished my oranges and lemons! We have dogs so I can’t put out rat poison. Anyone have any suggestions how to get rid of that thing? (I’ve eliminated all food sources in the garden)

  251. I asked my husband who he would sting if he was a bee he said “you.” I then, of course, asked why, and he said “because you’re the last person I’d want to see before I die.” Goofy, I know, but still better than what I was gonna say.

  253. I’d like to sting my 20 year old son and hope the sting would wake him up and send him back to college.

    • Lol!! I wanted to say MY 20 yr old son but I felt like people would judge me! :fingers crossed: maybe both of our boys will shape up

  254. Honestly? NOBODY would be stung by me. I raised two teenagers alone and it changed me to not want to have or inflict any pain in life again. I thought it would be great to try some Bee’s wrap that is all. I have been baking my own bread recently and just want to find a zero waste way to keep it fresh 🙂

  257. I would sting my icky, jerk of a neighbor, especially since our dog died and can’t go over and crap by the door of his storage unit!

  258. If I were a bee, I would sting Donald Trump or Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio or pretty much any of the Republican candidates for President.

  259. I would love to sting any politician close by. These wraps sound wonderful and I would love to win these and tru them out.

  260. I would sting my last client. He set me up for failure and made me feel like a loser. Turns out, he was completely clueless about the project and projected his ignorance on me.

  261. Politicians! So tired of all the negative campaigning. And unfortunately there is still almost 9 months to go!

  262. If I were a bee I would sting the head of Monsanto! Actually if I was a honey bee I wouldn’t sting anyone because I would die if I did!

  265. I had never heard of these wraps, so once again…..Thanks, Mavis for the exucation!

    As for the stinging, I hate HOAs about as much as Mavis does so my stinging vote goes to the “President of the Snoopervising Committee”!

  266. If I was a Bee I would sting the President of Monsanto!!! Heheheheheeeeee!!! Then I would send all my Bee Friends to sting the rest of the Monsanto Corporation!!!

  267. I would sting all establishment politicians and all of the media who try to sway elections for their benefit.

  269. Hmm…There was a women in Costco the other day who walked into the store and just stopped middle of the isle. There was no way around her. Her daughter pointed this out to her and she said “I can F-ing stop wherever the F!!! I want. Yes I would have loved for a sting about then. The paragon of parenthood!

  272. I wouldn’t want to sting a person, but maybe cause a bit of pain for the various nasty bugs I battle in my garden each year.

  273. I guess I’m jumping on the bandwagon, first person that came to mind was Donald Trump lol!

  274. If I had to sting someone, it would be someone with really bad arthritis, so hopefully they could find some relief.

  276. I know this sounds really bad, but I’d sting my husband. I’m annoyed with him today. Probably tomorrow I will regret writing this!

  277. I would sting the first person I could find spraying pesticides on their veggie garden. Since it would kill me anyway, may as well go out for a good cause!

  279. If I were a bee I wouldn’t sting anyone!

    Funny thing, someone’s name did come to mind but…we’ll leave it at that. 😉

  281. I would sting a certain political candidate who regularly says the most offensive and degrading things and deserves nothing more than a good sting in the pants!

  282. When a honeybee stings, she looses her life. So… not many folks are worth me sacrificing my life for… Politicians come and go, so definately NOT a politician. Perhaps I’d sting someone who invented or markets Roundup. Glyphosate is one of the worst chemicals ever concocted, and it is KILLING the honeybees. I’m a beekeeper and I have only been stung twice in six years. We call them bee kisses around here. 🙂 I’ve never tried the bees wrap! This is an awesome giveaway!

  284. Don’t bees die when they sting someone? There are people that drive me nuts, but they’re not worth dying for. I’ll have to think on this some more thought . . . .

  285. Neat giveaway I have never heard of this product before. If I were a bee I would sting whoever invented neonicotinoid pesticides that cause colony collapse.

  287. I would sting the people sharing stupid political “articles” on Facebook and swallowing whatever crap is shoveled at them instead of thinking logically for themselves! And, yay, bee’s wrap, a great Vermont company.

  288. I would sting my former boss, he didn’t care at all about what I did, just told me to go to my office (which was moved to one half the size) see clients and bring in money. Didn’t care a lick about the work I did, why it was important or what was needed to grow the program. SO FRUSTRATING!

  290. I would sting the person who keeps allowing their dog to poo (& not pick it up!) on my son’s school tree lawn. Tons of people walk through it & I can only surmise that this person enjoys spreading unpleasantness!

  291. I would sting the puppy mill owners as well as any and all people who have pets and neglect or mis treat them. I have no patience for people like that.

  292. Oh this looks awesome! I would sting the person with a loud motorcycle that roars by every night!

  293. Thank you for your great posts and for offering this awesome product. I would sting Donald Trump…no question about it!

  295. I’ll go with my first thought, which was–I wouldn’t want to sting anyone; I’d rather live a little longer! 🙂

  297. I would love to win these (another product I had never heard of before). Right now I would probably sting the person/people who calling our house with political messages.

  300. I saw the post on FB and shouted, “I SO want these”!
    If I were a bee, I wouldn’t want to sting anyone – however, if I were a wasp, I could find a ‘few’ people in DC I’d like to take care of :p

  303. I wouldn’t be stinging anyone or anything. If I did it would not only give bees a worse “wrap”, but it would likely be the end of me and we need more bees not less. I would rather spend my time pollinating plants and helping nature grow and better itself.

  309. If I were a bee I would sting my husband. For doing NOTHING for my birthday! Not even cake! For his 50th I took him to go skydiving. I got nothing for my 50th. For his 55th I took him go-kart racing, and once again, for mine….nothing. Very hurt and disappointed. I guess I shouldn’t expect anything for my 60th either……neither should he!

  311. I would sting the skunk that digs up our yard searching for grubs. We seem to finally have the grub situation under control but that “stinker” still digs around looking for them!

  314. I would love to sting Donald Trump for being such a bully and a colossal narcissist. People praise him for speaking his mind, but I’m not sure they are really listening to his pompous ideas.

    I love your blog, and this is my first comment because I REALLY want these wrappers for my organic farming son and his family. They would love them!

  315. If I were bee I would sting my boss maybe with a stinger in his back end I would see some results.

  320. I can’t say I’d sting anyone, I’m a non-violent sort of person, I’d prefer to continue on my happy pollinating way, but I can’t argue too much with the people who mentioned politicians. I can’t believe we have listen to all the political rubbish for months yet, I’m so tired of it already….

  326. If I was a bee, I’d like to sting someone getting bee sting therapy for multiple sclerosis. That way I would be doing something good with my sting.

  327. I would sting the scientist who is closest to finding a cure for cancer, so they would get back to their research. No more people should have to die due to their cell replicating like crazy.

  331. These comments are so funny!
    I think I would try to sting every farmer using crappy pesticides that harm my hive!
    I’d have a lot of work to do!

    The wraps are intriguing; I’ve always wanted to try. Your review is greatly appreciated!
    K

  332. If I were truly a bee, I would sting whoever harassed me. But since I am looking at this from a human perspective, I would sting the next abusive parent, partner, or pet-owner that I flew past.

  333. LOL–If I were a bee I would like to sting the VA Home Loan Department. Yes, every single one of them! I will spare you the details, but they are extremely frustrating. Thankfully, we are almost finished dealing with them. 🙂

  335. I’d first communicate to as many other bees as possible and swarm over to Montsanto’s labs! Sounds vicious, but how great can those chemicals “enhance sustainable growth” if they’re depleting our bee population and soil conditions.

  336. If I were a bee….Id watch out for litterbugs! I hate their finding trash in my yard.

    As a rule, we normally do not eat fast food ~but, get we SOOO tired of finding it in my yard. …cups, straws, napkins, bags, wrappers, Styrofoam containers. Once I found a Large pizza box in my yard! ~really, who tosses a big cardboard pizza box out the window?!

  337. I guess I would sting Hillary, since there are so many people picking on Republicans. I personally find them both frustrating.

  339. If I was a bee, I’d sting my ex-husband. He rarely paid child-support and was a bad person to be around. Especially children!

    This sounds like something I would use over and over again.

  340. I would sting all the kids at school that continually drop F bombs! Their parents too. I hear waaaayyyy to much of that stuff!

  341. I would have a hard time deciding between a couple of people that my DH works with and Donald Trump!

  343. If I were a bee I would sting all of the Monsanto executives since they are damaging my natural habitat areas with their horrible pesticides and GMO (pesticide-ready) seed! Bee Power!!

  344. If I were a bee I would sting my daughter’s ex-friend for hurting her so badly. Mean people stink.

  345. Hopefully I’d be the Queen Bee and could just send my minions out to do the hard work of stinging!

  346. There are a couple of prospects in my life that are narcissists. I would sting the first one that descended into a narcissistic rage so that I might not have to listen to their tirade, and it might just reset the conversation. 😉

  347. Sorry, but I would be a selfish bee and not sting anyone. I would keep my stinger to myself so I could live a long, happy bee life. (Of course, if I needed to use it in self defense, I surely would do that, simply by bee instinct)

  350. Several of our current Presidential candidates plus the news media who are experts at making a mountain out of a molehill.

  357. I would sting my husband! He is so funny when he gets a bee sting, he isn’t allergic but he is scared, and usually it ends up him running around the yard naked. I could use the laugh right about now!

  358. I would sting the guy in front of me on the highway on Friday morning who threw his garbage out the window while driving. It was a large soda cup that still had liquid in it and a McDonald’s bag. People who don’t respect our planet need to be stung by bees! Just sayin’

  359. Tough call to pick just one. Trump. Or Hillary. Or Madeline Albright for her special place in h#ll comment.

  361. If I were a bee, I would try not to sting anyone as a bee dies after stinging someone. However, if I were able to sting a person and keep living, it would be Donald Trump (not that his head needs to swell up anymore.)

  363. I would sting my son in the behind, so he’ll get off it and find himself a summer job! He’s a good kid, but needs a good jump start!

  365. If I were a bee, I would sting myself. I can get over the pain faster than my kiddos and men are wimps. 🙂 lol

  366. If I were a bee I would not want to sting anyone as then I would die (bees only get one sting, if I were a wasp it would be a different answer) but any way no one is worth that!

  367. I, too, would like a nice long stinger to pierce Donald Trump in his outrageous megalomania spot. I checked on Amazon and they have these. Don’t you earn Amazon credits. You could get them free that way.

  368. What a neat product, I had no idea this existed!

    I’d probably sting someone trying to get my honey, or Kanye West!

  370. I’d sting the next person to park across my driveway which means I have to park in the street and carry in the groceries from far away.

  371. Those wraps are the bomb!
    I would sting my new neighbor lady who like to scream profanities at her young children. I would like to sting her everytime the f word comes out. She’d be so stung up. That might give her something new to scream about!

  372. If I was a bee I would sting the owner of Monsanto. He clearly is lacking in insight< Bees do so much good! The bee wraps are genius.

  375. I would definitely sting my hubby. Now and then he needs a good sting! or a bad sting! ha ha!
    Thank you for all that you do and for your website.
    Love it!

  377. I’d sting anyone trying to steal my honey!! Nothing better than homemade honey on homemade biscuits!

  378. If I were a bee I would sting Trump, Hilary, and Bernie…or should I say current front runners…whichever counts as one sting!

  380. I would sting my stepbrother. He’s being such a jerk to our parents lately and they deserve nothing but love and gratitude. Thanks for the giveaway!

  381. The Bees Wraps look intriguing – I’d love to try them out.

    I’d like to sting my neighbor’s dog when it’s pooping in our yard…or maybe I should be stinging the owners who allow it?

  382. If I were a bee, I would sting those that wanted to be stung that had illnesses from arthritis to cancer as bee stings treat or ward off life-threatening illness with positive results (except those that are allergic). Bee stings for better health!

  383. I’d choose to be a mason bee. They don’t sting as often. I keep honey bees and they die after stinging someone so not going to choose that one. But I won’t sting anyone. Buzzing them is so much more fun. Watching them dance around shrieking and yelling. All over a little bee.

  384. Doesn’t the bee die after they sting? Given that, and the fact that I really don’t like to hurt anyone, especially if they were allergic to bee stings as I am, I think I would avoid stinging anyone and just use my wings to fly away and go about my business. There is much to be done…thus the saying, as busy as a bee.

  385. If I were a bee, I’d like to sting the person or persons throwing/ dumping their trash out in the desert that surrounds my neighborhood. It’s a health hazard for the creatures that live ther, the people that live here and just plain lazy and nasty!

  386. I would sting the people who keep breaking into cars in our neighborhood. It might be a crime deterrent. 🙂

  387. I would sting the jerks that leave their beer bottles at the stop sign on the corner of our beautiful country road.

    I would stalk them and sting them right as they toss the bottle…so maybe they would think twice next time.

    That made me feel better.
    🙂
    Thanks Mavis!

  388. If I were a bee, i think I would sting Kanye West. Maybe he would stop tweeting for a second or two…and then maybe “the media” wouldn’t think he was “news” anymore.

  393. Wow that’s a tough one!
    I think I would have to say my daughters’ step-mom. She’s the epitome of the evil step-mom trope and has caused my girls more harm than good. Ick!
    A swarm of bees would be better though!

  395. A family member who shall remain nameless who always has to create drama…..perhaps a bee sting will give her some drama!

  397. If I were a bee and could sting anyone. It would be Hillary Clinton. With enough sting to disable her from running for president.

  398. Hmmm, I don’t really like the idea of stinging anyone, but if I had to choose, I would sting anyone who purposefully hurts an innocent child whether it be physically or emotionally!

  399. that’s a tough one… i think i’d sting the president of Monsanto. With that, I would say, “My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!”

  401. If I were a bee, the person I would most like to sting is Donald Trump! He is soooooo obnoxious!

  402. If I were a bee, I would sting my mother in law. For two reasons, 1: I heard bee stings help with joint pain and that she has, and 2: she just had a stroke a week ago and is too darn stubborn and independent to move in with us! Maybe a good sting would bring her to her senses!

  403. Right now I want to sting the coworker who changed our joint meeting from 8 people to 25 without telling me.

  404. If I were a bee, I would sting . . . Vladimir Putin – he’s a mean guy & needs to be taken down a notch or 2. 🙂

  405. I see a lot of people mentioning a certain presidential candidate, and while that is tempting, I’ll expand a little. I would sting mean people. As soon as someone said something mean or hurtful, or lied, I’d sting them in the butt. It wouldn’t take long to change the world! LOL.

  408. After reading the book: The Bees, by Laline Paull, I got a greater respect for bees. Flora 717 survived so much that I would never want to sting anything knowing I would die, unless I had to protect the hive. Instead, I would just ride the wind and find that wonderful pollen!!

  410. I’d sting people for leaving their cars idling for endless amounts of time. This winter the inversion in Utah has been really gross, and we all need to do our part to minimize pollution.

  411. I wouldn’t want to sting anyone! I wouldn’t want to die, and I would continue to buzzzzz around.

  413. I would sting the that nasty PTA mom and show her she is not the “Queen Bee” she thinks she is.

  416. Man, so many ideas….the guy who’s letting his dog poop in a yard is good. We have one of those too. But I guess I’d sting myself because I’ve never been stung and I am terrified of bees. My dad was allergic so I was taught to stay far far away, and while I don’t get up and run from an outdoor seating area anymore when one lands on my food, I do have to focus on my breathing to try and not freak out, especially because I don’t want my son to pick up my habit.

  420. Hmmm…. Interesting question. The Donald appears to be a favorite choice for many. I think I would sting anyone who was not kind to my special ed students at school! 🙂

  421. I’d sting the next person who complained to me about refugees. If your country was at war, wouldn’t you flee to a safe place?

  422. NO ONE! Stinging people gives bees a bad rep. I would just happily buzz around people and head straight for the good stuff.

  424. If I was a honey bee, I would not sting anything or anyone because I would die!! If I was a different type of bee I would sting any person who abused animals. Totally intolerable!

  426. I would sting the neighbor kid. He’s a little punk that is always tearing things up in other people’s yards. Last year he cut a couple of branches off of our large pine tree. He needs a little sting.

  427. Roses are red, violets are blue, if I were a bee, I would sting…You!
    Now don’t get excited, don’t get mad, just listen here and you might be glad!
    See, the bee would think, because you are so sweet,
    The bee would think you’re a precious little treat.
    And maybe, just maybe, his sting would’t hurt,
    And you could just consider him a precious little flirt!

  428. Anyone who isn’t planning to research the candidates thoroughly and vote in 2016 primaries/generals. In all races!!

  429. I think the mean little boy in my son’s class. The Mama Bear in me wants to teach him a little respect! The softer side in me just wants him to practice some impulse control!

  430. So many choices, so little time. But, I think if I were a bee I’d sting mean people! Maybe it’d make them think first!

  431. I don’t normally like to hurt anyone, but if I was going to sting someone it would be whoever keeps vandalizing our school garden. The kids work so hard to grow and care for the garden, but every year plants are dug up, garden art is sprayed with graffiti and pretty much anything that isn’t bolted down is stolen.

  433. I think it is adorable (and very sad) when little puppies are stung in the mouth, they look like goofy!

  438. Hmmm, I would sting… well, I’ll be politically correct (which goes against my outspoken nature) since I’m in what we call, unknown mixed company 😉 , I’ll go with stinging the person actually elected to the presidency – just to help keep them humble.

  439. If I were a bee & had to sting, I would sting intentionally unkind people. Thanks for awesome giveaway opportunity.

  441. I would sting anyone that intentionally harms a child. First come first serve.
    (Sorry! I couldn’t see where the comments went and think I put one on the main post for this ;(
    Will try to remove it

  442. How about stinging one of those people who insist on driving with a cell phone stuck in their ear. Hang up folks, I don’t want to be hit by you.

  446. Bee’s wrap sounds awesome. I’ve had my eye on some for awhile. The first thing that came to mind to cause a little pain to was the stray cat that is tormenting the neighborhood (my chickens). Kinda odd, I know.

  447. I would sting the Japanese beetles that are gluttons for our vines. But alas, if I were a honey bee I would then perish. So, I’m guessing I’ll mind my own business.

  450. That is a good question. It would be someone who gets in my way while cleaning house which would be my wonderful husband. Stinging him would maybe move him out of the way just for a little while.

  451. I would love to try these wraps and who to sting that is easy every person in government who has lol a lie and Greg Jones from new York who stole a lot of money from karma would be great

  454. Hmmm, that seems like it should be an easy question to answer, but now that it has been posed, I honestly can’t think of a soul I would want to sting… I think that must put me in a good place!

  461. I would love to win Bee’s Wrap! I would sting Sarah Palin right in the mouth hoping that I wouldn’t have to hear her voice for a while; (I once took a drink from a soda can and was stung on my tongue and couldn’t taste anything for a week and talking was uncomfortable). Seriously, I think her voice is so annoying.

  462. If I were a bee I wouldn’t want to sting anyone or thing. I would rather live than die….. That being said if I had to choose it would be my neighbor lady. We have named her the wicked witch of the west and water just isn’t melting her. Lol

  464. I would sting the surgeon who was so rude to my patient’s mom the other day! (I’m a pediatric nurse 🙂

  465. My very first thought was Donald Trump, and apparently I am not alone. So on to a more personal endeavor! I would sting the very special cat that continually digs up my lily bulbs and then poops in the hole. Let me tell you, that $#!? don’t smell like roses or lillies…….and its gross-:(

  472. Hmmm…I hate bee stings. I can’t think of who I would want to put through that. But the idea of Donald Trump makes me chuckle!

  473. Ahhh… I love bees. Our neighbor has a bee hive. She shares the honey she harvests, and I shared the vegetables I grow. It’s a great trade! If I were a bee I would sting the kids who throw their fast food garbage over my fence into the chicken run. We live on a cul de sac and only have one family with older teenage kids who walk our sidewalks. Arg! I don’t like it at all – and my girls don’t have the brains to ignore those colorful pieces of junk!
