#yeah honeybees are fighting mites and all that but the other bees polinate just as if not more plants that they do!

You know what im genuinely surprised we don't have an episode about? Bees! Not even specifically honeybees! There are over 20,000 species of bees and I have been OBSESSED with them!

Did you know that 75% of wild bee species are ground nesters? That all worker honeybees are female? Or that African honeybees are actually hybrids? that there's a bee called the bumblebee-mimic digger bee that makes little sandcastles as nests? That there's bees that litterally air drop their eggs into the nests of other bees? That the majority of bees have special indents in their legs called "pollen baskets" that they use to carry little balls of pollen around while they fly?

I know they made a cameo in the flight of the polinators, and that the bros almost got vibe checked by them in the honey badger episode, but bees seriously deserve an entire episode dedicated to them specifically! Bees are one of the most interesting insects on the planet!
