Bees need love too
Bees are honestly among the few insects I really like seeing, mainly because they’re really great pollinators for so many flowers and food crops that we humans consume but there’s also the fact that they are really smart and well organized groups of insects. That’s why even they have working classes like humans
There’s the queen bee we all know about, she lays 2,500 eggs a day and lives up to 5 years just doing that. And the drone bees that get busy with the queen most of the spring and summer, unfortunately they get kicked out of the hive when winter comes because they consume way too much of the hive’s honey reserves
Then worker bees who are the ones who collect nectar and makes honey. These are the bees that do the cute waggle dance. This dance points the rest of the hive towards the food source, whether it is flowers or other plants
And when the queen dies, it’s up to the workers to select the new queen from the larvae (newly hatched bees). The larvae become queen by being fed so much royal jelly, which is what makes her very fertile (Also why royal jelly is used so much in.. libido boosters)
They have 170 different smell receptors that make it possible for them to really differentiate their own smells from the others, and also this helps them identify flowers that have already been collected nectar from and other materials they should stay away from.
Unfortunately, their population is going down, either because of all the improper bee keeping method, the lack of food source or they end up becoming a food source. Having humans kill them is also one ;-; bees don’t sting unless they get disturbed so people, if you see a bee, let them bee. They’re good and don’t want to die from stinging you because they still have a hive to return to. And if they ever do go extinct, think about how they'll ever go extinct, we're definitely going down with them
So we really need to help out the bees by planting more plants.
Look at all these baby bees. How can you possibly think of hurting
they're way too exceptional more than I thought.. and I only knew that they have a queen bee in the hive.. they must also be given attention on how to protect them coz they contribute much in the ecosystem
