Bees don’t bite, they sting. Your bits are safe, plant “theif”. Well, mostly safe. If you see them coming, roll up in a ball; that should protect your bits.
Unless you’re allergic. Then all bets are off. Avoid bees at all costs.

“Oh, yeah, what are you gonna do? Release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouth and when they bark, they shoot bees at you?”
Is there a situation that cannot be addressed with a Simpsons quote?

What I want to know is:
Are the plants being dug up and removed whole?
Or are the neighborhood skinflints plucking flowers instead of buying bouquets for their bitter halves?
If the former, the thief (or “theif”) is an accurate epithet. If the latter…isn’t that more vandalism than theft?

I don’t understand why people steal these plain plants.
Fancy pants orchids or other expensive plants that you can resell to orchid junkies I can understand.
But that fern-type thing? That’s not worth much to anybody, not even an indoor/outdoor cat.

Once the bees are done with your bits, it’ll be a flock of dead bees you’ll be returning to the note writer’s garden. If they are honeybees anyway. So I say, bring it on note writer. This plant theif will take one for the team, and throw the door wide open for all other plant theifs in future, by letting your bees kamikaze themselves on my bits.

If the Thief took them, he/she is going to get clean away – the bees will be going after the unfortunate ( and perhaps innocent ) Theif.

Please, there are only TWO mistakes, and I would hardly call either one even remotely “typical,” much less “soooo typical.” Especially the word “nectar.” How often does that word even come up in everyday conversation? It’s pretty pathetic of the submitter to mock the victim of the theft over trivial spelling errors that could very well just be typos. Instead, they should be applauding the cleverness of the note.

I sure hope that flock of bees takes appropriate revenge and all return safely to their nests to vomit-feed their chicks.

Albert Einstein once said: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination … no more men!”
