I don’t know if you’re ready for this: Drones (male honeybees) have one purpose and one purpose only. They live to pop a queen… then immediately drop to their death. For males: Sex=Death For Queens: Sex=Duty Also, drones have no stingers… Worthless little buggers.
THE HIVE
@hive101.bsky.social
While writing a TV Pilot about bees, I became fascinated by this mysterious world—completely run by women. Thought I’d pass on what I’m learning… 🐝 #beekeeping #scriptsky #honey #colonycollapse #SaveTheBees
Bee breathalyzer test… The guard bees smell their sisters returning to the hive and eject them if they’re drunk. Sober up, girl!

Bearding… When the heat rises the hive goes outside to bring the inside temps down… They’re so amazingly organized and efficient.
Bees won’t cover the faces of religious icons inside their hives… I’ve seen this reported a lot.
The Pollinators You know those white boxes you see at the end of orchards? Those are rent-a-bees. That fruit, those almonds, those crops don’t happen without them. One in every three bites of food you eat are thanks to pollinators 👏👏👏
When you discover you have unwanted houseguests, call a professional to remove them…🐝
@joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social The new unofficial Bee Ambassador… Comedian Josh Johnson explores eating honeycomb with friend… 💙👏💙👏💙 #Bees #Beekeeping #SaveTheBees #TryNewThings
Winter is Coming… which means the Hive becomes a NO DRONE ZONE 🚨 A matriarchy run by Worker Bees (all female) kick the men out when the weather turns… to conserve resources. Buh-bye boys! #bees #beekeeping #SaveTheBees

Beekeeping 101…ish My new favorite beekeeper! Very sweary- FYI🤪
Drones live to pop a Queen. One trip to sexy town and they drop to their deaths. So in the fall, all the women kick them out of the hive… and they die out in the cold. Seems harsh… but somehow right. #bees #beekeeping #SaveTheBees
So we wonder why the cops are aiding ICE in some cases... Here's why. Many work for them on a contract basis. But the police departments don't want us be able to see who is involved, nor the city mayor. In this case = LAPD. Scumbags. More criminal than those taken off the streets, to soul crush.
A great explanation of how a hive functions… A matriarchy that has thrived for thousands of years… until now. #bees #beekeeping #savethebees
Erika was one of the first bee creators to capture the attention of social media. She’s become a great ambassador for the bees and conservancy around the world #bees #beekeeping
“Telling the Bees” This is one of my favorite bee things I’ve learned recently. Such a beautiful tradition… #bees #beekeeping
