Is this true?

According to the wikipedia page for isoamyl acetate, it is both responsible for the banana smell and is the chemical honey bees use to tell other bees to sting, so at least the logic for the post is sound.

I hate bananas anyway so good enough for me. Still gotta force em down occasionally bc healthy, of course.

Yeah. There was a restaurant near me that had a hive in their ceiling, and the whole store smelled like banana

Well, I appreciate your participation in the conversation, I’m not sure that I would classify that as “proof”.

I searched it and the consensus is an astounding yes, this is somewhat true. Here’s an interesting article from a guy (take it with a grain of isoamyl acetate) that suggests it’s not as bad to eat bananas around bees. 🍌🐝 🍌 🐝
