When bees become an endangered species, would it be illegal if one were to sting you?

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

if you're at a point where they're stinging you you're probably doing something that would be considered illegal already
I remember being on one particular school trip as a kid, sitting down on a bench distracted, and a bee decided to go under my shirt and sting me in the back. I didn't even notice it until it stung me, so yeah, no, bees can be assholes too. Though that probably counts for the "probably" exception.
Bee keepers get stung all the time
In the place I grew up in, that "illegal" thing would be going to a train station. Some beehive considered it theirs and would attack anyone going through.
