They’re problematic even in their native range because people keep too many of them and they compete with other important pollinators, often other bee species. Honey bees don’t pollinate all species they take pollen and nectar from and those species are then not visited by their specialised pollinators, leading to decrease in numbers of both plants and pollinators.

They often don’t. Honey bees are surprisingly good at collecting pollen of many plant species without transfering it to other flowers and pollinating them.

The worker bees do not reproduce, so their survival after stinging is not that important.

I have the same experience. I act very carefully around them not to threaten them. I also put a tiny bit of my food on the side for them when they get interested - I love watching them eat. They’re like little insect tigers - striped, fierce, but tiny!

They ARE in fact both pollinators! I get the wasp hate, but they are rather misunderstood, that’s what the meme is about! Depending on the region you live in, learn which wasp and bee species are invasive in your area and support the native ones (including the common wasp and germanicus vespula).

At least educate youtself on the bee part, it’s really interesting!

What the random hell???

I thought the point was the whole thing was actually tiny, just a handful of snow and small isicles. Then I saw the leopard.

There are also other species (eg. Archaeoattacus edwardsi), which show the snake pictured from a different angle. It’s just fascinating!

The butterfly is called Attacus for a reason.

I thought the point would be a depressed and self deprecating “I’m something of an Intel CPU myself”.

I agree, I just don’t think it’s that relevant to the post, which was more about how our pets experience the world.

You’re right that it doesn’t have to be talking. But it is a sound cats and dogs can hear. They do hear the plant noise, which is cool.

I think the meme is about the film version.

Problems with skin can be treated even without shaving. You don’t need to keep it shaved if you don’t feel good in it. Ask women, they’re used to treating their skin problems without shaving their hair off.

In my headcanon he asked her out because he was finally sure it was going nowhere with Frodo.

The insect tigers

Depends on the context.

Learn botany. You can tell the approximate pH from the species of plants growing there.

Exoskulls then?
