Bees are pollinating insects. They are hymenopterans, closely related to wasps and ants. The Western honey bee is known for making honey, a substance inseparable from bees in pop culture. Bees are famously black and yellow because Wiz Khalifa wanted them to be that way.
Comb
Bees produce the most combs per capita in the developed world. These combs are made of wax, which can be molded into shapely forms due to their malleabeelity. These combs are then shipped overseas in large barges (larges for short).
Trivia
- The ends of each cell are rhombic dodecahedrons.
Birds
Bees are closely related to the birds, as evidenced by their shared lack of permanent groundedness. Unfortunately, birds often eat the bee. Why?
Sting 'em
A single deadly stinger adorns the rump of every bee on this planet. One bite and you're toast—literally! We'd like to recommend complete avoidance of the Sting at all costs. While the pain as a Class K illness is horrible, it does not compare to that from the dreaded bullet ant.
Smallness
Bees are among the smallest things, alongside peas and fleas. We know these to be wee.
Bee ball
While bees' wax is famously a ball, bees can create balls of themselves. A species of honey bee in Japan brilliantly evolved this trait as a form of defence against the predatory Asian giant hornet. At first glance, having less hornets would seem like a good idea, but how would that affect the ecosystem?
