  • Wasps not bees.
  • The wasps probably won't be able to emerge if the concrete dust sets.
  • Imagine being entombed by your parents. Born in an inescapable coffin.

Yeah, never heard them called mud bees. Only ever heard them as dirt / mud daubers, and they're very obviously wasps.

They don't hurt as much as you'd think, but you'll still feel it for a day or two

My grandma used to tell me they don't sting so I wouldn't freak out when one was near me. Little kid me was a gullible fool.

I'm ngl I also been told that and believed it. I don't really feel very gullible since I've never actually been stung by one? Even destroying their nests doesn't seem to make them aggressive.
