As a wasp allergic who grew up in a province filled with beekeepers: they sound nothing like each other.

The sound of wasps compares to that of bees like the sound of a broken Vespa against a Harley Davidson.

But maybe it is me being a professional in the audio-postproduction field.

I can tell the difference. Thing is, I've been attacked by both as a kid and have a fear of both. Too bad cause I think beekeeping is one of the coolest things.

Vespa: pun intended?

Vespa vs Harley Dabeeson? nah... I can't see any wannabee pun here

Luring children with those drawings just where you want they to be, and then grab the popcorn and enjoy the cries and sweet drama?... Smart move Slovenians. This is a Dr. Weevil-level move

Vespa, the Italian scooter, is named after vespa, the Italian/Latin word for wasp.

I'm was in a similar situation and bees actually helped me get over it for the most part. I never did "bee therapy" specifically, but just by hanging out with people who keep bees got me used to the sound of a hive in the background.

The sound of a single wasp around me still triggers that fear, but I can mostly tell the difference from the sound of a bee now. Unlike wasps, who I still believe are just evil bastards, Slovenian bees are very friendly and will even let you pick them up and pet them.

Anything that even remotely conjures up the vuvuzela noise heard throughout the FIFA World Cup 2010 is out with me.

Maybe the coming World Cup games in Los Angeles will feature the sound of zurna.

Or if you've watched The Wicker Man
