yes, but it is misleading to think they rely on honey bees. They are important, but it is a false narrative that we would die without them.Bees are awesome.
I really do. I plan on starting a couple of hives this coming spring.
Why do I love them? Why, for their precise navigation and flight skills, why else?
The meme doesn't say that plants rely on bees for pollination.yes, but it is misleading to think they rely on honey bees. They are important, but it is a false narrative that we would die without them.Bees are awesome.
That being said, we need to do what we can to help them flourish and I encourage everyone to look into bee husbandry if for nothing else but to make some great honey wine with the byproduct!

Dude I am following this post.
No, but that has been the implication -- in some cases an outright statement -- from these kinds of memes.The meme doesn't say that plants rely on bees for pollination.yes, but it is misleading to think they rely on honey bees. They are important, but it is a false narrative that we would die without them.Bees are awesome.

Start a couple of hives and well get a USMB beek group going!
Yep, comes with the territory.Start a couple of hives and well get a USMB beek group going!
You're gonna mess around and get stung messing with bees.
Today's bees are actually bred to be docile. Honey bees sting in defense of their colony, they never are aggressive. If you're getting stung, its because they consider you a threat somehow to the hive as a whole, or you have a pheromone on you that puts them in attack mode. As a beek, if you get stung in the suit or your clothing, you may not feel the sting, but the pheromone of the bees death will cling to you and serve as an alarm to the rest of the hive.I got stung pretty bad by some hornets when I was really young. I've hated bees ever since. Granted I know that their vital to our ecosystem. My younger sister, on the other hand, will NOT let me kill a bee. I think she figures they're all Jerry Seinfeld in a bee costume.
I do love honey... and regardless as to whether or not my younger sister is around, if a bee isn't bothering me, I leave it alone. We actually probably need more bees.
That was not a honey bee. They sting only once and then die from it.I'm scared of them. When one gets in my car, it's a true crisis.
One got into my long curly hair once when I was learning to drive. It was pissed it was caught in my hair and stung me a few times. Right in the middle of the road, I threw the car in park and jumped out, doing the bee dance while the guy teaching me to drive hooted and hollered about both of us being dead if another car had been behind us. I thought I had gotten rid of it, got back into the car and started driving again, only to have the little fucker sting me five more times. The second time, I did sort of pull over to the side of the road, though, before I jumped out screaming. I made the guy SHOW ME the dead bee before I would get back in the car. And I was so shook up I made him drive.
