Stingless

Just because it hurts doesn't mean the cause is big. Sometimes, size does not matter. Just like the ants or the bees, for example. They are just tiny creatures, but they cause more pain than other things because sometimes, less is more.

The question, though, is that, have you ever been stung by bees?

Bees, and in particular honey bees, are very essential pollinators not just on flowers but also on fruits and vegetables. Did you know that they pollinate a wide range of crops? Yes they do, and this implies that they contribute to the growth of other plants because you know, they are responsible for transferring pollen between the male and female portions of plants, which then enables them to produce seeds and fruit.

However, beware because many bees have stings. The fact that honeybees can distinguish individual human faces is one of the most amazing things I've learned as a child. On the other hand, it will be delightful to see you again if you attempt to kill it so do not ever attempt doing it unless you really like to feel how it feels to get stung by it.

Based on my own experience, it's quite painful. Although I had no intention of harming it at the time, that is exactly what occurred. Perhaps it believed I was going to do something, and as a result of my failure to detect, it stung me without my awareness. My understanding of the reasons why bees like to provide warnings is hazy at best, but I believe that they do so because they are aware that stinging a human might be lethal to them.

But here's a different thing. Did you know that there are bees that are called Stingless Bees or simply Meliponines?

As defined online, Stingless Bees are any of the several social bees belonging to the genus Melipona and closely related species family Apidae, which are found mostly in tropical America and lack sting. They hold honey in waxen cells, similar to the hive-bee, to which they have been linked.

The fact that bees defend themselves by stinging humans to save their lives may seem ironic, but more than that, they are already losing it. We should also remember that they produce honey and that they may even work harder than we do, and indeed, bees' brains defy the passage of time. You might be wondering how, so here I'll provide you with the answer. It happens when elderly bees do tasks that younger bees would typically perform. Their brains are able to thwart aging.

With or without sting, it is also worth mentioning that in our life sometimes, no matter what our work is, if we work together as one, we could produce a remarkable outcome like the bees that work as one and make honey. It is from bees something which people should realize everybody should have a function to perform in the common ground. This is challenging in modern society since one can change work anytime one desires. However, while executing a specific activity, it is better to devote all of one's attention to it, like what bees do. Thus, everyone should marvel at life in all of its conditions.
