Wait, What Do I Have To Do Now?
1K posts
All of the pictures I post here are photographs I have accumulated over the past fifteen years or so (taken by me, unless otherwise noted). I'm not a photographer, I just love looking at things. Here you will also find music recommendations and posts about space. The things I post are in no way representational of what shows up in my dashboard. (That can be found at kenobiel (Yes, this will explain why I'm following you.)) I also run a Henry David Thoreau blog too. Find me on twitter if you want. 10% space news 15% Star Wars 10% hockey posts 1% pictures of my dogs 64% utter nonsense. If you're here to ask me astronomy, archaeology, or general science and history questions, feel free to submit something here, visit me at Sigma 3 or email me at [email protected]

“The first note known to have sounded on earth was an E natural. It was produced some 165 million years ago by a katydid (a kind of cricket) rubbing its wings together, a fact deduced by scientists from the remains of one of these insects, preserved in amber. Consider, too, the love life of the mosquito. When a male mosquito wishes to attract a mate, his wings buzz at a frequency of 600Hz, which is the equivalent of D natural. The normal pitch of the female’s wings is 400Hz, or G natural. Just prior to sex, however, male and female harmonise at 1200Hz, which is, as Michael Spitzer notes in his extraordinary new book, The Musical Human, ‘an ecstatic octave above the male’s D’. ‘Everything we sing’, Spitzer adds, ‘is just a footnote to that.’”
— “Symphony of a Thousand Millennia“ from Literary Review

Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.
You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?
So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?
So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?
