[@ISplimeI]

In terms of how good for the environment it is to be a honey bee (specifically the European Honeybee, apis mellifera), it is actually pretty sucky to be born as a honeybee. Honeybees are invasive to pretty much every part of the world, are less efficient pollinators than native bee species, and are driving native bee and plant populations to extinction (and no, the honeybee is not endangered too, in fact, it's quite the opposite). I just want people to not be confused, because the "save the bees" motto is really backwards since they've made the European honeybee the image of that movement when that species is literally driving more bee species to extinction than it's helping.

[@johnpett1955]

The title of the video: "Why it's great to be born as a honey bee" The content of the video: most queen bees get killed off instantly, the worker bees literally work themselves to death, and the drones do absolutely nothing until they are sacrificed for their sperm.

0:41 Bee swarm simulator :

[@motherlandbot6837]

A few corrections for this very refreshingly positive video; queen Western Honeybees routinely go on multiple mating flights over successive days if weather permits. If weather stays bad (chilly and rainy) during this window period, she will stay in the hive unmated and end up laying only drone eggs. Middle aged and older queens sometimes depart in a swarm with a large number of workers before new queens emerge from their queen cells. The tendency to swarm is partly genetically mediated, and varies by strain of Honeybee. The young queens then battle each other. Contrary to popular belief, an older queen and one of her daughter queens may coexist amicably until the older queen either dies or is terminated by her workers. This 2 queen arrangement seems to occur in part because older queens produce lower levels of queen pheromones that trigger aggression from younger queens.

[@HeirloomAnimation]

You taught me something new! I appreciate the insight and you checking it out - thank you!

[@ISplimeI]

Another thing about apis mellifera is that technically it's an invasive species EVERYWHERE. They aren't called invasive anymore because it's basically just too late. There's too many of them. They still take away from other native bee and plant populations, but they only count feral hives as a problem since domestic bees are farmed for honey.

[@motherlandbot6837]

@ISplimeI Western Honeybees have a natural range that includes Western and Central Europe, Western Asia, and most of Africa. So they aren't invasive "EVERYWHERE". They are not labeled as invasives because of anthropocentric criteria; they are essential to modern and even subsistence agriculture almost worldwide. No native bee species can economically and effectively replace A. mellifera in most agricultural activities. I also keep Orchard Mason Bees (Osmia lignaria) and native bumblebees (mostly Bombus impatiens). The Mason Bees are great pollinators of stone fruits but little else, and have only one generation annually, with adults present and pollinating only in the spring. As they are native to NA they unlike Honeybees have many native parasitoids that attack them as larvae and as pupae. Bumblebees, unlike Honeybees, effectively pollinate crops that require sonification to release pollen (Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplants), but are even more troubled by natural parasites and pathogens here in NA BECAUSE both they and their many natural enemies are native to NA. Animals and plants that are TARGETED as invasives are non natives that conflict with Human interests, or relatively neutral non natives that are targeted by wildlife "management agencies" to get funding and jobs in often sensationalist campaigns. Examples include campaigns to eradicate Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), 'Boston' Ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata; this is the 'ivy' that gave Ivy League schools their name), and Indian White-Eyes (Zosterops palpebrosus; small ecological generalist passerine birds from South and Southeast Asia thatt were eradicated by California after they became established in the state ftom intentional releases and escapes). Native species can drastically increase their population densities and expand their ranges after they evolve to synanthropy, and thus impact other native species. This has happened with Northern Raccoons (which severely impact native turtles and frogs), Brown Headed Cowbirds (which reduce the reproductive success of many other native passerines), and Poison Ivy (which now forms vast monocultures in many areas where it was once much less abundant). Moreover, eradication of synanthropic invasives from anthropogenic habitats usually just leads to replacement by another synanthropic invasive.

[@ISplimeI]

@@motherlandbot6837 I knew that their natural range was somewhere around asia and europe (I didn't know about Africa), but I only said everywhere for dramatic effect. And I do get how they can be beneficial in domestic colonies, it just makes me mad that so many native species that actually need help get put under the radar because of the European honeybee which isn't even endangered at all. Another thing is that it's kinda impossible to stop them from setting out on their own and starting new feral colonies, so I just wish there was a better way to pollinate major crops. Like maybe some sort of blower that constantly mixes the pollen in a huge area of crops or something. I've heard of this species of bee that is one of the only species that can effectively pollinate alfalfa and has to dig into the flower in order to get to the stamen. Good job for setting up those environments for your native species too. 👍When I graduate and move out I plan on having a pollinator garden and maybe some pet Ts. Do you have some environmental degree or something? I'm planning on going to college for entomology. Specifically arachnology. You definitely know more about plants and bees than I do, so I'm just hoping to gather some knowledge.

[@motherlandbot6837]

@ISplimeI Thanks! I'm a retired (77 years old) biologist, with special interests in birds, plants, and insects. Apis bees are believed to have originated in Asia, and presently more species in the genus occur natively in Asia than anywhere else. What is usually referred to as the "Asian Honeybee" is Apis cerana, ehich occurs natively in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate East, Southeast, and South Asia. As this is a warmer climate bee, it does not store large amounts of honey for winter survival, but drones are still driven out of A. cerana colonies in the fall. Because A. cerana produces much less honey that A. mellifera, it is not widely raised even in Asia. It tends to be less aggressive than A. mellifera, and subsistence farmers, and those who favor more natural beekeeping in Asia do raise them. The Japanese Honeybee that is famous for fighting Giant Asian Hornets is A. cerana japonica, however, all A. cerana fight Hornets (with which they coevolved) by overheating and 'cooking' them. The other native Asian honeybees such as Apis florea, A. dorsata, and A. nigrocincta are not raised for pollination or for honey production (Honey from these is obtained by smoking and robbing wild colonies, a practice that according to longterm studies, does not harm the colonies. Feral colonies of A. mellifera are also a problem for beekeepers because they can function as reservoirs for Honeybee parasites and pathogens, and domestic queens on mating flights too often mate with feral drones from aggressive colonies, and the result is that workers from domestic coloniesbecome aggressive after a new queen replaces an old one. Native bees worldwide are most often solitary, abd are often pollination and nectar gathering specialists. Because Apise bees, and to a lesser extent, bumblebees, form large colonies and are generalist foragers, they easily displace native solitary bees, and in my view this is the most serious ecological problem they create. Although many claim that Western Honeybees transmit parasites and diseases to native bees, the only confirmed instance of this has been cross transmission of DWV between Western Honeybees and the Old World bumblebee species Bombus terrestris. Since both are native to Western and Central Europe, it isn't clear whether this originated with the Honeybees or the bumblebees. B. terrestris is commercially reared in Europe but has become invasive in Japan (where it is not native), and is now banned in the US and Canada because it may become invasive here. Also the Varroa mite that now plagues Western Honeybees originated with A. cerana, which unlike Western Honeybees, generally keeps this parasite under control. Best of luck with your studies and career as an entomologist and an arachnologist!

Worker Western Honeybees usually die after less than a month of adult life during the peak honeyflow. Some die within two weeks of adult life. Those that emerge as adults in the autumn may live for +4 months. The queen stops laying in the fall, and the surviving workers are needed to generate enough heat to keep her and them alive through the winter.

[@ISplimeI]

Ya, although we gotta stop thinking of the European honey bee (apis mellifera) as a good thing to have. They drive out native bee and plant species, are less efficient at pollinating, and are overall way worse for the environment. The fact that humans are on their side is a bad thing. In order to help native bee populations, instead of starting a honeybee colony, it is better to start growing native species of flora and starting a pollinator garden.

The vast vast majority of wasp species will never ever bother you. It's really just a small group of the eusocial and social wasps (which eusocial bees are a part of!) That are aggressive for nest defense purposes. Order hymenoptera is incredibly vast and diverse with every species having a vital role in their ecosystem and it sucks that almost all of them get demonized because people come into conflict with yellow jackets and paper wasps sometimes (animals which are themselves not evil and are just trying to defend their home! It's not their fault their babies are a nutritious and delicious snack to basically the rest of the animal kingdom!)
