IronClaymore posted:When you think about it, the way bees produce honey from pollen is super gross, especially when you remember that pollen is just plant cum. it's nectar that bees collect and then feed to other bees who regurgitate it into honeycombs after they make it into delicious honey in order to prevent fermentation. bee vomit basically. and it's really good

Well, according to my dream last night, bees smell like acetylene naturally and go from birth to full-grown in about 5 seconds. They speak English, so maybe you could ask a bee your questions.

And then we harvest it and ferment it and drink it. I see trees of green, red roses too, I see them bloom, for me and you. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world!

If a foreign invader like some retard mouse gets in the hive to steal the honey, and the bees kill it but it's too big to haul out, they'll use their ancient knowledge of mummification to keep it forever as a trophy. They embalm it with honey and wrap it

They embalm it with honey and wrap it that's loving sick, probably the best thing i learned today. bees rule. Here's my bee fact of the day: "The number of working bee colonies per hectare provides a critical metric of crop health. In the U.S.—among crops that require bee pollination—the number of bee colonies per hectare has declined by 90 percent since 1962. The bees cannot keep pace with the winter die-off rates and habitat loss." Don't we easily have the technology to pollinate flower fields on our own?

There used to be a thread in the DIY subforum for beekeeping and it was always a bunch of dudes talking about how someday they'll start but every once in a while one guy would buy some bees and they'd migrate instantly.

My friends dad has kept bees most of his adult life, and when they were kids he used to take him and his sister with him to the hives and he would be in full beekeeping gear and they would get stung to gently caress and he thought it was hilarious.

I read about an experiment they did with bees and their dancing which signals to the other bees the location of food sources. The goal of the experiment was to find out if bees just blindly follow the dancing bee's instruction (in other words was it reflexive) or did they "think" about it first (is there any kind of reasoning involved). To do the test (I might be loving this up) they used a hive near a big pond. They separated one bee from the hive and then put a food source next to the shoreline and let the bee access it. Then they put it on a floaty thing and gradually moved it out so that it was out in the middle of the pond and made sure that the separated bee followed it out there. When they let the bee returned to the hive, it did its dance to tell the other bees there was a food source out in the middle of the pond. They ignored the bee's dance. This implied that bees do "think" about the dance; it's not just reflexive. It makes no sense to the hive that food would be in the middle of a pond; they would have to use some level of logic to draw the conclusion that the dancing bee is not making any sense. Just a cool thing I remember about bees.

The honey that most Americans are familiar with (like what they give you at McDonald's or KFC) is clover honey.

Bees actually do get drunk! The hive has bouncers and poo poo too, except when a bee has had too much and tries to come home, the bouncer bites off one of the drunk bee's legs :/

It depends on the bee, op. There are many non-hiving bees.

yeah but i remember them as being literally black and white, not off=white kind of ivory. might just be the camera i guess. i never seen them eat leaves but when i hosed up and dislodged a section of brick i saw each burrow had like a larder of pollen wrapped up in what seemed to be like dark colored paper it was cool but my grape vines had those kind of shaped eats out of them, i thought it was just caterpillars though?

All kinds of insects are going to have a go at your leaves. Bees, caterpillars, slugs, pretty much anything big and hungry enough.

Maybe the other bees need multiple bees to corroborate the story rather than flying off after the say so of one duped retard bee If the researchers duped many bees then maybe it would have worked We would have outwitted them
