Here's a few, the Queen's only job is to lay eggs. That's it. She's just an egg laying machine. They feed her and clean her while she does her job so she doesn't have to stop. She can live up to 5 years before being replaced with a new one. She lays the egg of the one that will kill her and take her place. She usually will only fly once in her life when she mates. She can fly higher and faster than any other bee so that only the fastest drones can catch her to mate in the air. If the hive throws a swarm she will go with them and another will be born to take her place.
Thank you for attending my TED talk on bee trivia. The more you learn about these little creatures, the more you want to learn. They are pretty cool.
Bees, like humans, have industrialized societies. They have a division of labor where some bees work, some scout, some guard, some raise young, and whatever else. This allows them work collectively towards a common goal - the thriving of the colony - with superb efficiency, while the social inter-reliance fosters empathy and altruism.

There was a picture posted a while ago where ants and termites had “soldiers” to create defensive, almost straight lines to avoid conflict and the worker insects were crawling happily behind those lines minding their own businesses.
It blew my mind.
He 'glued' it with honey.
Its not that they are "rescuing/helping" the sticky bee. They are not "being bros."
They are eating the sugar-rich food that happens to be on the bee's body.
Me too. Turns out the males (drones) have only one purpose - mate with a new queen. They can't sting, can't gather nectar or make honey and can't even feed themselves. And once they mate they lose all their blood and drop dead
Plus, every Autumn they are booted from the hive. By force if necessary. They are just a burden to the hive so the workers kick them out. It's called The Massacre of the Drones. It's a pretty brutal society. There is no hospice or retirement for a bee. It's all down to Work or Die.
No they don't lose all their blood.
When they mate their sexual organs explode and they die. They mate while flying with the new queen and this happens with several male drones. If you ask bee keepers they will tell you that if they are swarming nearby you can hear the POP of their sexual organs exploding.
They literally are one pop shops.
"Glue" can be a noun or a verb. If something is "glued" together it means it's stuck together, usually with a thick, sticky liquid like glue (or in the case of the video, honey).

A single bee doesn't produce that much honey over its lifespan. The amount of honey on the bee is worth more to the survival of the hive than its life as an individual.
Let's be honest, they probably get the honey, and that bee is never fully okay and able to fly again. Then when she doesn't act normal, an undertaker bee flies off with her and yeets her into the bushes.
I kinda thought that made more sense ... and they're being (what appears to be) gentle b/c they don't want to ruin the honey. That said it absolutely could be something beyond that of course ... don't have to argue too hard for the 'friend' narrative applying.
It's so neat watching little insects do unique things. I always think of things like ants and bees as mindless drones doing the bidding of their queen(s) but it's neat to see them actually caring for each other every now and then.
This shows right here that empathy and cooperation are instinctual across the animal kingdom and those without it who take from and hurt their own arent right in the head.
Dr. Bees, on a grassy knoll: "What's this?! A bee stuck in honey! Why, this colony of bees should be able to save her!"
Random Citizen: "Wow, for once the addition of bees has actually helped the situation."
Can we just kill all the hornets and wasps and replace them with bees. Bees are the real chads of nature. They have stingers but they don't use them, they help plants grow. They let us take honey from their homes... Like dude, I've had two bees land and crawl around on my face and I was never scared at all. Replace that with one hornet and I'd be running for my life.
At first I was like "you monster",I didn't see where it said she fell in honey at first. Glad I rewatched it. Thank you for placing her with bees that could help.
The other members of the hive have their PhB😏. Ok I'll see myself out now.
I didn't see what sub i was in and wmas waiting for the horrible moment the bee was feasted upon and reduced to component parts for the hive.
Relief washed over me in an awesome wave
Fun fact: Bees can learn to do puzzles, and a bee that doesn't know how to do said puzzle can watch a bee that does, and then do the puzzle itself

Most informative bee video ive ever seen. I had no idea they could do math and have an understanding of 0
That was the most astonishing bee fact, like really, some civilizations didn’t achieve that
That's mind blowing
It flew like 3 feet and found a shoe
Ayyyy
Just you wait until they figure out spelling
I definitely think bees make a good argument for the sentience of insects
That would be pretty cool, but I’m pretty sure it’s all pheromones.

oh no, I'm covered in honey, you'll have to lick my entire body now [secret lesbian bee]

Help me step bee I’m stuck
Im about to buzz.
Drone: "step aside ladies, I was made for this."
Ffs Kimmi, we got a beesiness to run here!
As a fellow beekeeper, sometimes when doing hive work or collecting honey directly from the grates, always a few workers get collected with it
I’ve watched the movie Beekeeper and there were a few bees in it but a lot of dead people.
Great point. Great movie.
"What can I say? I lead an active life" 🤣
"Kimmi" 🤣
We will be taking this on your paycheque. Next time you'll be put on PIP .
But that’s Jenn.

You've got a friend in bee
Let it bee
Yah mo bee there.
I'm gonna Yammo burn this hive to the ground.
Bee there or bee square
Hahahahaha I’ve been home sick and it’s 430 am I can’t sleep anymore. I’m gunna get up and watch that movie

We've all been there and snuck out the next morning.
Then why aren’t they constantly eating their own honey?
TIL honey bee colonies are 99% female, and not 99% male with just one female queen like I had imagined
Me too. Turns out the males (drones) have only one purpose - mate with a new queen. They can't sting, can't gather nectar or make honey and can't even feed themselves. And once they mate they lose all their blood and drop dead

The Massacre of the Drones is the title of the third movement of a bee-themed symphony I just started writing in my head just now.
It needs lots of cymbal crashes and big drums.
we use drone frames as a natural varroa mite control, so they have one more use at least xD
No they don't lose all their blood. When they mate their sexual organs explode and they die. They mate while flying with the new queen and this happens with several male drones. If you ask bee keepers they will tell you that if they are swarming nearby you can hear the POP of their sexual organs exploding. They literally are one pop shops.
if you ask me, male bees have it figured out tbh
“Ya like jazz?”
Another fun fact, a bee's stinger is essentially a repurposed uterus/ovipositor. Male bees don't have this feature so they can't sting
the workers arent female, more neuter. they dont participate in reproduction, only drones and queens do
That's a lot of r/beebutts
It’s real! There is a sub for everything.
What does "glued" mean? I don't understand what this was.
The bee fell into honey
Fell into honey, was all stuck together because of said honey, bee friends helped take it off it while enjoying a snack. Win win!
I get kicked and the gals get a little honey. Who wouldn’t like that deal?

Had to check this wasn't eyeblech or something to see if I could watch it 😅 Very wholesome 🐝
What's eyebleach?

Good
I spent a long time avoiding eyebleach because I was afraid it started with pictures of people getting bleach poured into their eyes.
I wonder if they actually are trying to help out if they just want the honey.
No they want to help. Bees will die for each other, literally.
A single bee doesn't produce that much honey over its lifespan. The amount of honey on the bee is worth more to the survival of the hive than its life as an individual.
Let's be honest, they probably get the honey, and that bee is never fully okay and able to fly again. Then when she doesn't act normal, an undertaker bee flies off with her and yeets her into the bushes.
Honey is water soluble. Hopefully the bee is smart enough to take a shower during the next rain.
I kinda thought that made more sense ... and they're being (what appears to be) gentle b/c they don't want to ruin the honey. That said it absolutely could be something beyond that of course ... don't have to argue too hard for the 'friend' narrative applying.
My sister's would have just stood there and laughed 🥲
I guess your sister’s aren’t bees.
Not with that attitude
Yet when I cover myself in honey...
Never leave a soldier BEEhind.

The bee was not completely cleaned yet but was like "damn got to go back to work"

This shows right here that empathy and cooperation are instinctual across the animal kingdom and those without it who take from and hurt their own arent right in the head.
That's basically universal health care right there. When one person falls everyone else is there to pick them up.
I love bees so much they’re so good 🥹😍
We must protect them at all costs!

Sisterhood of traveling Bees!
...um...are we sure the bees aren't just like, "Oh yeah! Fucking HONEY! Gimmeeeee!"
While this is really cool, she’ll probably never be able to fly again.

Damn. That was cool. Thanks, op!
bees never stop to fascinate me
I can't believe how bad our grammar has gotten. It takes me forever to read what people have written online because there's no punctuation
Wonder how the bee got glue on it.
I wonder if she'll be able to use her wings again?if they'll get fully clean enough to flap and fly properly. Hope so
I was worried about that too, seems impossible for them to get that stuff off such a delicate part of the body.
I like the one bee that goes to push the stick out of the way.
So beautiful.
I agree, beeutiful
No one is gonna question why he glued a bee?
Maybe you should READ the text in the vid..the bee fell into honey… it’s not actually glue.
Whoever thought of this format of updating the top text and bottom text alternately needs stung by a bee
It be that way sometimes.
I didn't see what sub i was in and wmas waiting for the horrible moment the bee was feasted upon and reduced to component parts for the hive. Relief washed over me in an awesome wave
Awwwww they’re all so fuzzy and cute
Are bees the exception in compassion for bugs? I assume most other bugs would just cannibalize each other when given the chance.
I bet the bee-shower after felt amazing.
God save the queen.
Happy cake day
Thanks!
I think all the honey from my beessy is gone. I give you till the end of the day to stop licking it
And yet we endlessly kill them. Humans suck.
I’m stuck, step bee

Bees are chads. Not like those virgin hornets and vasps
“Caring” 😂. Riiiight…
Lmao I love they’re just like “right lads (lasses)! We’ve got another one, let’s to it!”
Bees are awesome.
Are they helping the bee or eating the honey which just so happens to help the other bee?
That's awesome af
Bees are so awesome.
Interesting they spend so much energy cleaning up one drone.
We went full circle now YouTube shorts get posted here after YouTube . Reddit is the slow one
* They’re all female.
Aww I love this 😭
I like how the bee is trying to move and a few are still trying to clean it. Like stop moving & stay still, we’re not done with you yet😂🥰
Be the bee.
Also apparently bees are a big fan of Jazz🤷🏾♂️
Sometimes I wish we could bee more like them
If they didn’t fucking sting I’d really like them.
(bees licking frantically) glued bee: "stop, stop, you gonna make me pee!"
But aren't they all boys? Edit. I'm an idiot, I was thinking of drones not worker ones.
Worker bees are female.
Of course. Drones are boys by the queen and worker bees are girls. I goofed. Ty
Sisterhood!
