Sustained Denial of Service attacks. Paid for botnet. Service will continue to be disrupted until I can contact other providers and arrange a fix.
What's even more fascinating is that according to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Bees are cool because they pollinate my daisies and roses. I even planted some lilacs and lavender shrubs on the other side of my front yard so they'd have something to enjoy besides my humming bird feeders.
Maybe it's because I grew up in a home that was 70% flower garden, but I'm not scared of them at all

I was deathly afraid of bees as a child, but as I got older, I learned they really weren't that aggressive.
But FUCK WASPS.
Where I live we have native bumble bees and honey bees. They're pretty neat.
But yeah, fuck wasps.
I like bees. They're the only animal that can hurt me and avoid retaliation.
Try Eastern cicada killers. Mostly harmless to humans. Cicadas aren't so lucky. Females will take the paralyzed cicada into her nest and lay eggs on it. If she's having girls, that means more than one cicada is being lugged into the pit of despair.
Yes, they fly while carrying these things.

Bees have hair growing in their eyes.
That's not right.

Bees are ok. Someone a block away has some hives so at one time every year hundreds of them descend on my garden and go to work.
Sometimes a bee or a bumblebee lose they way and end up in my garage so I gently herd them outside. Sometimes a wasp does too and I kill it because fuck 'em.

I don't know if animals can be trannys but animal pedos are common enough.
tl:dr Sea Otters are known to kidnap seal pups and violently rape them, sometimes keeping the dead pup for days afterword to continue raping

I love starting the morning knowing about Sea Otter pedophilia.

Bees are extremely overdomesticated to the point that they have trouble surviving in the wild. This also leads to various retard behaviors such as killing their own queen.
Killer bees can fend for themselves; they know how to deal with diseases and pests and they respond in force to any threat a little too well. Interestingly, they actually seem to become less aggressive if nectar isn't plentiful in their area, because if most of their workers are in scouting/foraging mode instead of soldier mode, the colony's alarm radius goes down.
Many critters control their rate of reproduction via various strategies -- female rabbits, for instance, can abort their own pregnancy and reabsorb their litter if too stressed by overcrowding. Many animal species have reproductive tracts that are only active for a short period of time. It can help a species to thrive in the long run, by not breeding so quickly that it collapses its own ecosystem, but not every animal has that built into its biology. Feral pigs are infamously destructive to ecosystems, and they breed so quickly that in some areas it's necessary to kill two-thirds of the feral pig population every year just to keep the population under control.

Not everything in nature balances itself. Lemmings, for instance, are infamous for breeding out of control and stripping their habitat bare, starving, then mass-migrating in every direction in search of more food and dying by the truckload. Rats in bamboo forests are similar; the entire forest will bear fruit all at once and the rat population will explode, then when the fruit is gone the rats swarm out of the forest and spread disease all over the place.

Insects and other arthropods like spiders are cool as shit, and colony-based insects that form huge cohesive communities like ants and bees rank pretty high in my book.
Carpenter bees aren't too bad unless you have a lot of wood at or in your house.
Kinda cute, though. Keep mistaking them for black bumblebees since they fly the same way, but they're not.
In 2016 on a windy day, I was out on a walk and a bee got caught in my glasses, and I impulsively smacked at it. It chased me into a nearby green area where I curled up and kept still to calm myself and let the bee buzz and headbutt angrily until it left. Since then, I stopped being jumpy around bees since they're generally going to leave you alone if you don't make a move (though I once watched a bee sting a toddler in the pool after it landed on his hand and the kid was literally doing nothing, so I dunno), but still a bit leery since you can't tell the difference between regular bees and killer bees until they're right on top of you, or you find a hive in the strangest place possible in the area. It's possible the one I encountered was one of the Africanized bees since down the road at the corner there was a hive around a leaky water pipe, but we were both agitated from the wind and it had better things to do.
Also crushed bees emit pheromones that attract more bees to the area, so you're better off not swatting them and just GTFO as fast as possible.

The worker caste is a sterile clone army seeded from embryos deposited by a single commander. Each individual is purpose-built to work and kill and will gladly set aside all survival instinct for the greater good. It’s pretty awesome.
Cats will mate with four month old kittens. Kittens will even mate with their mom.
Cats are degenerates

Bees have an excellent homing instinct, and have been known to find their way back to their nests from up to 13km away, a fact which makes it even more remarkable that they can't find their way out of my fucking greenhouse.
Bees are based.
