World governments have been ordered to crack down on honey bees as the globalist elites escalate the war on farmers and prepare the groundwork for the devastating global famine that WEF insiders have warned us about.

Okay, entomology brain is annoyed by a Tumblr ad
Tumblr media
Specifically, this one. First, Albert Einstein never said that.
Secondly, and more importantly, that is NOT a honey bee, or even a bee at all. That is a bee fly, a very important, very cute pollinator. However! They have parasitoid larvae! This means that they lay their eggs in the larvae of other bugs. Those eggs hatch, and those larvae eat the bug they're in from the inside out. Sounds horrible, but it's the way of things and I cannot understate how important these guys are.
The reason I'm annoyed about the picture of choice isn't even that they didn't picture a bee (not even in the right order- bees are hymenopterans. Flies are diptera.) What's really grinding my absolute gears about the choice here? Bee flies parasitize bee larva.
If you're going to use the wrong picture, at least don't use the picture of something that actively kills what you're trying to protect instead of the animal you're protecting.
Also, honeybees, Apis mellifera, don't need protection. They're fine. They're invasive in North America, even. Humans take care of them just fine. I'm a beekeeper, and I love them, but that's not where our efforts should be. We should be trying to protect native bees, there are a whole bunch that I bet you've never heard of that need help.
Anyway, rant over. Sorry, I just could not let that one go.

B is for bēo  (Old English for bee)
The epic hero Bēowulf's name translates literally to bee-wolf, which is likely a kenning meaning bear.

Honeybees are the world’s most important pollinators, but their population is on the decline — here’s how one Bay Area teen discovered a way to repair the effects of pesticides on honeybees 🐝
A brilliant kid for humanity and the planet 🤔

I've just started college and I'm taking a module on bees and beekeeping (for funsies) and even though I have done my own research of them in the past, it still blows my mind how cool they are, despite being so integrated into the public's eye. Anyway, this lovely lady was thirsty. Sipping from a puddle on a leaf. :)
Western Honey bee (Apis mellifera), Ireland
EDIT: MODULE, not course. So like, that along with other subjects. I was a bit tired writing that.

Honeybees can detect biomarkers of lung cancer in human breath, as discovered by Michigan State University researchers.
The bees can differentiate between different types of lung cancer cells based on smell, potentially aiding in early diagnosis.
Researchers plan to develop a noninvasive test using a sensor based on honeybee brains to analyze breath for cancer chemicals and report results wirelessly.

Nest of the Asian Honeybee
Here we have the poisoned nest of the Asian Honeybee (Apis cerana). If you’re wondering why the nest was poisoned, it’s because this species is actually quite damaging to this area. The Asian Honeybee not only leaves in competition with native bees over nesting areas and food, but they may also carry a certain nasty mite known as the ‘Varroa mite’ (genus Varroa), which can be detrimental to European Honeybee populations (Apis mellifera) (1).
Lets take a closer look at this nest shall we. First we’ll start off with the eggs. You can see an egg inside a brood cell in picture 9. The eggs are very small, and take about three days to develop. After which the fat little larvae emerge, curling up and waiting to be fed by the worker bees. When the larva becomes large enough, the brood cell will be sealed, so the larva’s pupation will be undisturbed. The adult bee will chew its way out of the cell after emerging from the pupae (2).
You can tell which brood cell belongs to which kind of bee based on its appearance. The drones have a distinctly dome-shaped cap with a large pour in the center (pic. 7). Then, of course, there’s the queen’s brood cell, which is large, round and on the edge of the nest (pics 5-6) (3).
When it comes to this species, it’s important to stay informed about the ways in which they are damaging for the environment.

Help the bees during the summer months when there are fewer flowers and other food sources for the them.
Water is also scarce, and so many bees drown as they try to drink from the pools.
Grate an apple and add some water to a bowl.
The bees will be able to get the sugar from the fruit, drink the water, and not drown as they can stand on the pieces of fruit.
Our bee populations are threatened; let's give them all the support we can.
Thank you for them 🙏🐝
