So, apropro of nothing, is it possible to train bees?

I was stung once by a bee when I was a kid and my mother threw mud on it. While the mud dried, it drew out the stinger.

anyhow, mad props to bees. They are heroes more ways than one. I actually find this quite inspirational. No matter how small and insignificant you may feel you are, small acts can still have big consequences.

What a way to go! All that money can't save you from nature.

Mad props to Comrade Bee, she gave her life for the people. She will live on in our memories, deepest sympathy and condolences to her hive for their loss.

That bee was too good for this world

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 52 minutes ago

Could have been a male bee too

[-] Machinist@lemmy.world 2 points 44 minutes ago* (last edited 41 minutes ago)

Drones don't have stingers. Queens and workers have stingers. Queens are from worker larva that are fed royal jelly that transforms them into a queen that is capable of reproduction. Workers are technically female but they're closer to asexual.

So, that badass enby ace bee gave that motherfucker what for.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago* (last edited 4 minutes ago)

You are right but for honey bees. There are many other species of bees that do have males with stingers. For example many solitary bees (live alone rather than in a hive) have stingers though aren't known to sting people unless swallowed like in the OP.

The British isles have over 200 species of solitary bees so it's very possible the bee hero in question here was a male :)

[-] deathbird@mander.xyz 119 points 14 hours ago

Ah this is terrible.

The bee population is already struggling, and there's no way this one survived after getting stuck in dude's throat.

Oh no! Anyway...

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 40 points 12 hours ago

I feel bad for the bee.

But holy shit! If this doesn't make you want to save the bees than nothing will.

I dub this bee the Buzz Bomber!

Like most folks here, my only concern is for the bee.

You would think, with all his money and outdoor polo playing, that he would KNOW that he has a severe bee allergy and carry an epi-pen.

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 8 points 11 hours ago

He is a billionaire. He thinks he is special in every way! Epi-pen? That is for peasants!

Is it possible to train bees? Asking for a friend who is very interested in bee training.
