What about that one type of bee that produces alcoholic honey that can make you hallucinate?

If you’ve never seen a tarantula hawk before and then one day you encounter this 3+ inch long purple wasp dragging an equally large spider across the ground, it will freak you out a little.

I had one fly through my open window while I was going 80 on the highway.
Didn’t know what it was at the time, but luckily it was stunned in the back of my car.
Pulled over and looked up what it could be. Threw that fucker out as fast as I could before it could murder me.

bumblebees are very accurately named actually:

Aren’t those honey bees (or one of the other hive-dwelling bees) though? Bumble bees are the big round boys (and are even more bumbling than these ones!)

Even though I’m allergic to bees, I cannot bring myself to hate them. Especially Bumble Bees. Those little flying chonkers are so cute!

For me on thunder the first link isn’t loading (Unable to load image from files.catbox.moe) and also the raw link is not working in the newly added player, so its not a voyager only problem.
The bees are hilarious tho :)

Meme faces are really going downhill. Is this some attempt to be a play on “genetic health” or something? They used to portray emotions, not exaggeratedly malformed bone structure.

imagine having to hold those shoulders on the right upright with that size 0 tummy lol

Huh, I would have thought the direct opposite of this meme. Switch the bees.

I think it describes the person imo. Masons(profession), carpenters are useful jobs that help society, and honey is a food source so again a productive addition. Bumble is kinda cute but is dopey, so I’ll give them that. However the wasps are all “chad” in this person’s eyes as they are killers. Killers have a limited place, which is usually killing other killers. Still, a lot of the time killers add a whole ton of detriment as well. They really shouldn’t be idiolized.

Charlie: “Do wasps make honey?”
Dennis: “No wasps do not make honey.”
Charlie: “Alright well I’m gonna check it out anyway, there could be something delicious in here that wasps do make and I want that.”

Bald face hornets are mean motherfuckers. They recognize and target a creature’s eyes, humans included

Well, you chose the boring bees. The Meliponini stingless bees have much cooler names.
troybot@midwest.social 5 months ago
Carpenter bees are definitely boring

Been stung by a bee and a wasp. Wasps hurt like a mofo.

Just further demonstrates, that bees are hardworking contributers to society, while wasps are violent scum.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 months ago
The exploitater mindset at work, smh, bees are good because you can steal their honey, wasps are bad for defending themselves!
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
Yeah i actually had the same thought while writing the comment, but wanted to commit to the bit.
“hardworking contributors to society” automatically makes me feel yucky. usually the kind of people that uses words like that seriously, are the people profiting the most from capitalism.

Bees polinate, most wasps don’t. Working in sympathy doesn’t equate exploitation.
Zerush@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
Bees are more usefull for us, not for the nature. Wasp also are hardworking animals (ants belong to the same family), but their use in the nature is different, not for pollination, but same as other predators, but for the population balance of other species among others.
