    Huh. Apparently bees do eat pollen, for the proteins and fats it contains. I thought it was only nectar, but no.

      Yes. Pupae are fed a mix of pollen and nectar/honey called “bee bread”. (Honey is nectar that has its water content reduced to 20% and is sealed, to prevent fermentation.)

    Next they’ll be placing dumbells and weight machines for the bees. That how you get swollen bees. The bees will beat us to a pulp.

      i mean we already have murder hornets, and bees are generally on our side on the war against hornets, so i’ll take monster bees.
