Anyone else notice that vaping attracts bees? Maybe its just me. Certain flavours appear to attract them more frequently than "usual". Even in my bedroom... I never had bees in my bedroom before. Since I started vaping, every few days I have to gooi the netting to the side to let one out.
Attracting Bees
- Thread starter Cespian

I suspect it might be the VG/PG attracting them because it is quite sweet
Yup, and I'm pretty allergic, it's annoying as squanch.
@Warlock it is interesting indeed. We hardly had bees around at home and the only thing that changed was the introduction of vaping.
@Feliks Karp I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. Must suck being allergic. A bee sting on its own is quite agonising.

Remember, try to not kill a bee. The dead bee lets off a pheromone that will incite the other bees to violence!! Although the "african bee" in Gauteng (Apis mellifera Scutellata) is aggressive it is NOT the so called African Killer Bee. The "cape bee" (Apis mellifera Capensis) are kittens compared to ours.
Even our bees in jhb have to be violent !
The Cape bees only pull out guns when you trek slim with them.
Have this quite often when on the balcony at work, but it seems its juice dependant some juices just smell great to the little buggers
No , just don't kills bees fullstop.
They are vital to our survival and play a huge role in nature.
African bees , as well as european bees are not aggressive , until they mate and produce "killer bees".
If you leave them to do their merry thing , they don't bother you nor do they sting unless provoked.
If bee's are bothering you , fill a cap / container with a small amount of whatever is sweet that is attracting them and put it to the side. 9/10 times they'll move to the easily accessible source

P.S Sorry , I love bees
I have a little black and yellow friend who comes often to visit when I vape at work. He actually popped in while I was reading this thread earlier today, we had a good chat, shared a quick vape and he went on his way again
I have a few hives, and yes they will be attracted to some flavours, specially fruity ones, they love fruitjuices, just be calm they wont sting if not in trouble, smoke put them on a high or rather a low, in other words will calm them down, but the vaping is just about the flavour.
Spot on for @brotiform, love them, they'll love you back...

Both bees and flies...
Well Isoamyl acetate is known for its banana smell and flavour and could very well be in banana flavourings (eg Loranns) and coincidentally is the pheromone bees release under attack, yet I haven't been swarmed while vaping 'nana cream, so who knows...

I suddenly disagree with @brotiform now. Proof that some bees should be destroyed
I was at the driving range last week Sunday, when a buddy and I took a vape break, about 5 bees were on our tanks within minutes.
I actually havent noticed this.. Will take note when summer hits
i have definitely noticed the bees like my fruity vapes
