honeybee - the head and the heart

20: A song that has many meanings to you

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA OKAY.

1!!!! reveries by radical face!!! now i know theoretically it's about losing your childhood and revisiting things etc etc but because i take all of radical faces songs to heart that is NOT what its abt!!!! the way he sings it makes it sound like he . is. a . GHOST. and he is reliving his childhood as if he physically cant return to it. and now with this real and adult life he has and died from he can see how meaningless it was and the remnants of people he loved.

2!!!!! im only doing two so this doesnt get too long!!! clean by taylor swift!!!!! when i was a kid (and i think its a little bit concerning that this is what i thought of when i was a kid) i thought it was about losing a friendship but accepting it and moving on. and then i got older relistened to it saw it as a reference to self harm or addiction etc etc which i think is truly what its abt but. not to me. and now i think its about a little bit of both which is abusive situations! good for her for writing such a song with so much meaning but also ow. cryfest song since 2014

cool facts abt bees bc im all excited abt them now

most bees are solitary; the only social bees are european honeybees and the stingless social bees native to australia and south america (see previous post)

theyre technically called “eusocial” because theyre not just social in the sense that they aggregate together, which many insects do, but because they have cross-generational stratified social systems with rigidly-divided labour and reproductive activities. there are RULES yo

the only other eusocial insects are ants, which belong to the same taxonomic order as bees and wasps; and termites, which belong to the same order as the cockroaches

so it’s accurate to say that “bees and ants are social wasps” and “termites are social cockroaches” which is cool to me for some reason

eusocial insects communicate to each other using INTENSELY complex pheromone systems ie. they talk to each other using smells

e.g. an alarm pheromone released by a scared bee is what tells all her bee friends to come form a swarm of death

ants and bees both use haplodiploid sex determination mechanisms, whereby the females have 2 sets of chromosomes and the males only have 1

the way this works is: the queen can decide which sex of offspring to produce based on whether or not she fertilises her eggs. females are produced from fertilised eggs, and have genes from both the queen and her mate; males are produced from unfertilised eggs, so ONLY have their mother’s genes (and only half of them)

yes it’s true that only female bees do any work. the males (drones) literally just sit in the hive and do. nothing. i dont know why evolution did this.

same for ants actually. all the ants in antman should have been female but what can u expect from the mcu amirite

i lie when i say that males do nothing because there is one (1) important event in their life and that is: going on an Epic Icarian Journey vertically up into the sky to discover which of them will be the Chosen One and win the heart (chromosomes) of the princess

by which i mean: when she’s ready to mate, the princess leaves the hive and flies upwards into the sky. all the males follow her. she keeps flying up and up and up as the males fall away one by one and the last male still flying beside her wins and becomes the father of the new hive. then he dies

(cool but irrelevant fact abt termites: in termites the male doesnt die,but stays on to live in the nest. this gives termite colonies both a king and a queen. animorphs lied to u im so sorry)

only female bees can sting because the sting is formed from a modified ovipositor (the egg-laying organ). males don’t have it so they cant sting

having said that, most bees WONT sting (in fact pretty much only honeybees will, though the fun part of that is that their stings also happen to be barbed and envenomated so they really make it count)

most of the native australian bees (which are the only ones i really know about) won’t sting you unless really really really scared, and the social ones literally can’t because their stings evolved to be useless for,, whatever reason. they can still bite, but it’s really just annoying more than painful. however they do somehow know to go for the eyes and nose which i can testify to from personal experience

we do have a date for the evolution of eusocial bees (i cant remember the exact number but i think it was sometime in the triassic??) whatever the cool part is how they discovered it, because as u can imagine it would be pretty difficult to find explicit fossil evidence of a group of bees living together in a rigidly-stratified generationally-overlapping labour- and reproductively-divided social system

OR so we thought because,,, the very fact of bees living together brings about morphological changes. specifically, the abdomen of worker bees will be smaller, compared to the abdomens of solitary female bees, because workers dont have to lay eggs. they have queens for that

so essentially: the way we got the earliest current date for the evolution of eusociality is,, someone found a tiny bee fossilised in amber, with a tiny sting (so we know its female) and a tiny abdomen (so we know she couldnt lay eggs)

hence: social bee

PALAEONTOLOGY IS GR8
