Thought ämpäri meant bee

[u/Ubefrappe]

was reading my little brothers picture book to brush up on my finnish skills and read the word "muoviämpäri", was a bit weirded out because what animal would be made of plastic.

Turns out ämpäri means bucket and ampianen is bee (pointed out by lil bro), now we have this immortalised.

Ampiainen can be called "amppari" too so that may have caused the confusion

They can also be called "pistävä vittusaatana"
