i was doin this at my cabin recently. its so fun. heres easy 5 steps to having a new best friend!!
1)Catch the insect! catch wasps by pouring a bit of pop on a picnic tableor something, and when they landed on it put a cup upside down on them. or catch bees by taking 2 cups and trapping them in the flowers.
2) Put them in the freezer. This part is important. The trick is to put them in for long enough so they go dormant, but not long enough to kill them. I found it took 1-3 minutes to freeze it, depending on the size and type of the bug. keep checking on it, make sure that it is alive.
3) when it stops moving, taki it out and tie a piece of thread or dental floss about 3 feet long onto it. its easiest if u make a slipknot. try to tie it around their abdomen, without trapping their wings under it.
4) they will slowly regain conscoiness (sp) and move around. eventually they will fly (unless u froze them too long). now u have a pet bee/ wasp/ hornet. take them for walks, or for extra entertainment, have them duel.... bee vs bee, wasp vs. bee, etc
5) enjoy!
i found bumblebees worked best, then wasps, then honey bees, then hornets
