I used to live with a Danish girl who used to
do this to wasps. She'd catch them, freeze
them until they were sluggish and then tie a
length of thread around the narrow point
between their body and abdomen. She's then
tie the other end of the thread to a match
and stake it into the ground...
jen, i've heard of how freezing bees (or
wasps) can make them sleepy/sluggish, but
i've never heard of anyone actually doing it,
as recreation. did she ever light the match?
thanks for sharing your hell of a strange
summer.
