[@csl9495]

Interesting thing about the bees. Never seen this type. Also, I thought only the queen does the reproduction

[@fishyfishyfishy500akabs8]

Chia Lee yes there is a queen and those are the queens, and there are also drones to mate with said queen in this species drones fight amongst themselves to claim a mate aka a queen, which can even result into one of those bee balls with fighting males on the outside and one queen in it

[@Curiosweet]

Many bee species live solitarily rather than in a hive. So all females would be queens, essentially.

[@Curiosweet]

Based on the narration my guess is that these are a solitary species that live in the ground.

[@princenadroj9766]

Chia Lee Those type of bees don’t live in a colony, they live solitary lives and only come together to mate.

[@sonnymeh]

It's their day off.

[@arandominternetuser455]

Athicuz Not all types of bees work in a colony. These bees are a solitary species. Technically all females can reproduce its just that in a colony type they remain sterile by the queen in order for them to stay workers.

[@justcallmedevil267]

Why does always everything hate bees couldn't just eat wasps, no one needs them

[@superdumpfback4041]

JustCallMeDevil Because there are many bees available as food source during the few days they mate. And wasps are very important for ecosystems as well. They have an impact on pollination too by the way and as predators they help keeping things in balance. So just because they may annoy you, they are far from being useless.

[@AngryKittens]

Wasps are predators of a large number of insects and spiders, including plant pests. Without wasps, your bees won't even find flowers.

[@originalname680]

JustCallMeDevil it's not "hating" because these birds know these bees are a reliable food source. It's survival, not discrimination between two species.

[@mary4ever54]

[@samuraijackoff5354]

The wasps eat spiders and plant pests. The problem is that they also eat bees. What they really should eat more mosquitoes.
