I was talking to Brett Savage today about bees, and I told him how I think that bees are dying because they're dumb. Now, I may or may not think bees are dumb, but I did have a good reason to think that.
I left a bowl of water out for the bees to drink because it was pretty hot outside, and when I went to check on them, I saw that they had all drowned. I'm not sure if that makes me a bad person or not... :( Anyways, the other day (Last Wednesday to be exact), I saw a bee drowning in a bowl of water (I didn't learn my lesson from the first time, oops :c ). I rushed over and took it out, and luckily, I saved it. I was super happy that I had actually saved the life of an endangered insect. But then I thought, "why would the bee land in the water if it knows it can't swim?" Also, why would a bee sting if it knows it's going to die? Do bees actually know that they're going to die when they sting people?
Since we're talking about bees, I thought it would be appropriate to tell a bee joke.
What's a bees favorite novel?
The Great Gats-bee!
Okay, this was the cutest thing I've ever read lol. I know I'd never think of leaving a water bowl out for bees to drink from on a hot day nor would I ever think about saving one! But props to you for taking it upon yourself to save a bee, even if it was only one. We need all we can get.
ReplyDeleteHow funny! I'm curious to know whether you knew the bee was going to come to the bowl of water or were you surprised it actually came around. I also question whether bees know that death is around the corner if they were to sting someone; and if they do know why would they want to sting someone? right?
