@lemmy.worldI guess everyone gets wierded out by something else. Pubes of an offspring seem to me like a breath of fresh air after all the urine and poo and puking... well, puking may come again, but their babyhood prepares you for the things to come ;)
Thanks again for even more useful tips! I will definitely try it all out, it looks really good.
The first one. Many people wouldn't want to live under Russian regime, alsi they would be afraid of retribution for resistance. Russian speaking is not the same as Russian.
They're problematic even in their native range because people keep too many of them and they compete with other important pollinators, often other bee species. Honey bees don't pollinate all species they take pollen and nectar from and those species are then not visited by their specialised pollinators, leading to decrease in numbers of both plants and pollinators.
They often don't. Honey bees are surprisingly good at collecting pollen of many plant species without transfering it to other flowers and pollinating them.
The worker bees do not reproduce, so their survival after stinging is not that important.
I have the same experience. I act very carefully around them not to threaten them. I also put a tiny bit of my food on the side for them when they get interested - I love watching them eat. They're like little insect tigers - striped, fierce, but tiny!
They ARE in fact both pollinators! I get the wasp hate, but they are rather misunderstood, that's what the meme is about! Depending on the region you live in, learn which wasp and bee species are invasive in your area and support the native ones (including the common wasp and germanicus vespula).
Yes, they are! They're into sweet nectar - that's why they also tend to visit our sweet drinks. The adults also sometimes search for bits of meat for the carnivorous larvae. In this mode they act like insect pest control.
