I like Bee-Butts and I cannot lie... okay this is actually a thing and who would've thought bee bums were so cute!? Look at those little furry rumps sticking out of the flowers, their little legs dangling as they reach in for their nectar!? Come get on board with Bee bottoms
1
Bees don't all live in hives, some species live alone, underground or in trees.
2
Bees are so important to our survival
3
And contrary to belief, they don't WANT to sting you (bumble bees die when they sting because it pulls out their digestive systems). They do it as a totally last resort
4
Bees sometimes get tired from their flights so if you leave a cap of sugar water out, you can really help them a lot
5
Some plant places and nurseries sell plants with harmful insecticides that poison bees (always check the tag really well). When the bee pollinates the plant, he introduces the poison the the hive and kills the entire hive.
6
Bees are actually rather nice creatures, you can even pet them if you're careful
7
Bee venom is used for some medical and beauty products, but results haven't been proven. It doesn't kill the bees but it does take them out of pollination production
8
Bees love sweet smells and are attracted to bright colors and extremely fragrant white plants. Plant some away from your entry ways and you'll also get a lot of hummingbirds and butterflies
9
Not all bees are good, some winged menaces look like bees but are really imposters
10
Some cities will pay you to put a hive on your property. It gives you a great excuse not to cut your grass!
11
Bees like hidey holes so if you hate bees, keep your grass really short and keep debris and trash out of your yard
12
Wasps are not bees. THey're evil and will sting you multiple times. Bees are the good guys
13
Eating honey is really good for us, it helps our digestion, is a natural antibiotic, can heal wounds, and has a plethora of medicinal benefits
14
Honey is also super great for your complexion and hair
15
Buying local is the best and some say it helps decrease allergies
16
Unfiltered, raw honey with the comb is also the best.
17
Most store bought honey is barely honey, it's sugar and there are additives
18
There's nothing like honey fresh out of the hive. If you ever get the chance to experience this, prepare to be floored at the difference between that icky honey bear on the shelf and the real deal
19
So go, beeee nice to the beeees. Set up a camera and try to capture their adorableness
