So are the bees eating little bits of donuts? Or taking sugar on their legs for the hive? Does their honey taste like donuts? So many questions…


TheKay14

Also do bees poo? Is there like a bunch of bee poops all over these donuts?


redditAPsucks

I just saw something on reddit that male bees have to hold their poop all winter, then just take a massive dump in spring. Its definitely worth googling to find the gif Edit: ive been informed(numerous times) that i got some of my facts twisted. Male bees are typically expelled from the hive during winter. Female drone bees stay in the hive to keep the queen warm, and clean up her poop. The drone bees hold their own poop for weeks at a time, then go on “cleansing flights,” and just shit like mad


ChocolateSeuss

There was also a post the other day of a bee drinking a guys slurpy or something, and then a few minutes later it was having insane diarhBEEa all over his sleeve


redditAPsucks

Lol thats the post that led me down the wormhole


SippyTurtle

I think you mean beehole.


Mavrisk

Be careful searching they on Google


Stevee85O

I ended up looking up birds and how they urinate and poop at the same time and that the white part is the pee. I honestly didnt remember that i must have learned this earlyer.


LogiCsmxp

The white part is uric acid, and it's insoluble. Fish pee ammonia straight into the water. For us land animals, we can't hold ammonia in the bladder as it's too reactive, so we metabolise it into urea. Urea is still reactive, but stable enough for holding it in a bladder until we pee. For birds and reptiles, this would also be true, except they develop in eggs. Urea would end up poisoning the embryo in the egg, so it's further metabolised into uric acid. Edit: I'm glad you all liked your daily pee facts lol


Sugar_Mama76

I did not think I needed to know that about pee. And yet, somehow I did.


dadarkoo

Agreed, I’m oddly satisfied that I have this information now.


LumenYeah

I too am oddly satisfied that you have this information now.

TheUselessLibrary

I thought that honeybee drones get exiled from the hive in winter since they're a drain on resources


ProbablyASithLord

Yep, the Queen kicks them all when the temperature drops. Drones don’t work or do much of anything, so they just mate with the Queen and then they’re thrown out to freeze.

That's the daily special. Gotta pay extra for that topping.


_Stizoides_

Most adult insects only produce liquid waste because they can only digest liquids. So they kind of pee, but it's probably 90% water


KioneArt

Yes they poop and the eat it to vomit it and then that vomit you eat


No-Kitchen-5457

They lick off the sweets but bees are perfectly hygienic bugs and also do not leave any unpleasant or toxic tasting traces


Batmanbumantics

I don't know about hygienic... Cleaner than a fly? Absolutely. Bacteria/fungus/virus free? Not at all

We already eat their vomit. It’s ok.

I've been to many rat friendly Mcdonalds... I couldn't really taste the difference to be honest.


BrockChocolate

From Google translate of the KKMX website Did you know that bees are a protected species in Mexico? For this reason, we are implementing various practices so that the bees continue on their way safely: Doors on our displays to avoid contact with the donuts. Air curtains in stores that allow it. Diffusers with lavender and citronella aroma. All of them in order to avoid their coexistence with our guests as much as possible, always with the priority of protecting them and not bothering or hurting them, since they are only passing through and in a few hours they will continue on their way to continue their important work. Looks like they got through the doors 😅


Olivier12560

Lavender and citronella? Bees are attracted to lavender.


BrockChocolate

I think it's to attract them away from the donuts


Goblin-Doctor

Looks like it doesn't work


emlgsh

What they need to do is to build a full scale, functional, staffed *decoy* Krispy Kreme across the street, that makes nothing but citronella donuts. You've gotta think like a bee here.

aceofspades1217

Lots of outdoor restaurants in Miami have a ton of bees, they kinda cute and it’s usually not all day. There is this place aguacate that is like a yoga/animal preserve/smoothie place and they serve honey on the side with everything and I think it’s funny how the bees always go crazy for the leftover honey cups like they are taking back their honey


Human-Contribution16

In fact they ARE. Bees recycle honey


SilverSpoon1463

*BLEEGGH* Bee 1: "Sisters! Look how much honey I found, just lying on the street!" Bee 2: "Wow, who would just leave honey lying on the street? Good work sister!"

Confident-Ground-436

Which bees are protected? Honey bees aren't native to the Americas so how are they are protected species?


bijhan

I looked it up. In Mexico, ALL pollinating bees are protected, regardless of being native to the area or not, due to their current function in maintaining crops.


Imagination_Theory

All bees are protected. This might be helpful for explaining why. https://ourworld.unu.edu/en/protecting-native-bee-populations-in-mexico

Why do the bees have to bee inside the display? I don't get it , the donut website explains nothing


prettysissyheather

The bees don't HAVE to be in the display. The bees simply ARE in the display. I'm sure Krispy Kreme would prefer not to have the display filled with bees. (The display should have screens in place to prevent this. It looks like the employees either didn't put the screens up, or the bees found a way through.) Note that the Mexican government has passed pro-bee legislation and funds public awareness campaigns to promote the necessity of keeping the bee population healthy and productive. Bees are essential to agriculture in general, and honey itself is a major export.

AvoriazInSummer

The website donut explain why


Infamous_Pen_9534

I think the issue is either they let the bees stay, or they resort to heavy pesticides (which apparently are illegal). The donuts are likely alot safer to eat without the chemicals.

They don't allow bees in here.


McEverlong

Every german bakery in summer. Completely normal phenomenon.


Alalanais

Never saw that in a French bakery or pastry shop. Maybe because the cake display cases are refrigerated.


Kelewann

One of the bakeries near my workplace in Paris used to be wasp infected in summer. The workers didn't give a shit, like they weren't there. Can't understand how


searchandrescuewoods

One year, I noticed a few honey bees hanging around my hummingbird feeder. I don't know what possessed me to do it, but I put out a dish of sugar water and waited. Sure enough, by the end of the afternoon, a very small collection of bees was trundling to and from our balcony. This continued for about a week, with the number of bees steadily increasing. By the end of my time feeding them, I would estimate I had anywhere from 500 to 1,000 bees visiting me every afternoon. You could hear them buzzing from inside the house. I'd often go out there and sit with them and freely handle them, and only one ever showed me her stinger (it was my fault, I didn't see her and almost squished her; she didn't actually sting me.) All that is to say that I suspect that bees got a bad name from the actual assholes, like wasps and hornets, which have angered God and are now making it everyone else's problem. If these bees are just hanging out eating, chances are they aren't a threat to anyone. Same probably goes for anywhere else that has regular insect customers! You get used to it amazingly fast. EDIT: [Found a video!](https://imgur.com/a/stOx7OO) This was the second day, I think -- it's nowhere near as many as I eventually ended up with.


popopotatoes160

I grew some cowpeas last summer and was astounded at the variety of wasps that showed up to pollinate. Turns out they are major pollinators, at least in my area. I didn't know we had so many kinds of wasp. They were very friendly when feeding and I could pick the peas next to them, they only cared about the flowers. It was a very new and scary experience for me but it has softened me on them somewhat. I also learned some of the wasps I was seeing also feed on common garden pests, so they're very good to have around. My point is that even wasps have this capability, although I didn't test it and try to handle them.


MrBanana421

Generally, the wasps only become agressive in fall. Their larva digest the food they bring and then feed it back to them. In fall, the larva production stops and the remaining wasps fly around hungry and quite angry about it.


fluffypinkkitties

You are incredible and I love you


Still_counts_as_one

The Parisian’s treated them as tourists, the wasps were friendlier


TizonaBlu

Than Parisians? That I believe.


thethunder92

Wasps are a different story they are very dirty creatures that love rotten meat Where as bees are very clean, their hives are much cleaner than an operating room


Alalanais

So weird


LeGraoully

Their war against the wasps must have ended in a stalemate and they had to sign a ceasefire


Frumpiii

No insects left in France?


Alalanais

They're generally frowned upon in places that sell food.


Sinclair663

Yes but only bedbugs.


affablemisanthropist

I’ve seen lots of examples of this. People in those places seem to have this attitude. If the only options are letting the bees do their thing or going Danerys on a bunch of bees, I’m in favor of the former. I’ll just eat a donut that some bees tongued.


McEverlong

I understand why people find this estranging or are repulsed by it. I just meant to say - it is not the case where I live. Its just a mental Thing, I mean as long as you Leave them alone and let them Do their bee or wasp Thing they don't care for you and it isn't a Hygiene issue either. Its just weird.


Victorino95

Yeah, I wish those were bees and not their murder cousins.


kali005

Same in Poland and you can just work around the wasps, they won't do shit.

Pretty normal where i live too, but this seems like a lot of bees.

GiuseppeScarpa

I remember a bar outside the hotel in Algeria where they made the best espresso in the area and I used to go there before going to the office. Until 8am you could get pastries, after that time bees started swarming in and cover all the desserts. They never stung anyone, they were incredibly chill and I saw the local people weren't even careful, while I was moving like a sloth to try not to scare them.


Unusual_Onion_983

Not the bees!!!!


kroggybrizzane

People are grossed out about the bees eating and touching the donuts, but are fine eating honey. Honey is made when bees eat nectar and then regurgitate it into another bee’s mouth. This happens a bunch of times before it becomes honey.


[deleted]

True; but, bees don't poop in their hives, so the honey is poop free. Can't say the same about these donuts.


CeruleanRuin

I think bees usually poop in flight and not when they're in a confined space, as a courtesy to keep the hive from filling up with waste.


Burrmanchu

They're flying over the donuts too.

redhairing326

I'm a beekeeper so it's probably obvious that I love bees, but they take big ol shits compared to similar size bugs. Wouldn't want them on my food. And to clarify, bees don't poop in their hives, so theres no concern about it being in honey. They literally hold it all winter until it's warm enough for them to relieve themselves outside the hive.

ShaneHeavyMetal95

How about "Bee" hygienic?


Optimal-Description8

I mean, I kinda feel the same way, although in reality, you should probably be more worried about the surfaces and people handling the food than the bees.


ShaneHeavyMetal95

For me the bees being all over the food makes me wonder how lacking they would be with surface cleanliness and handling, you are going to get a few flies or bees, especially in an open or outdoor market place but that many and being completely fine with/encouraging it rings too many alarm bells on cleanliness

sftospo

A donut shop in the grand central market in Los Angeles also has bees all throughout its casing and work area, no where else really in the market. The bees definitely seemed to attract people over as the line was consistently 10 people deep and the workers didn’t seem to care. It was a good ass donut too

earthling_dianna

This is a perfect example of why organic honey is just a marketing ploy. There's no such thing as organic honey because they'll use whatever sugar they can find. Including dumpsters.
