Beads?
Saw someone else sharing bees, yo, I got some bees.
So, like, what... it's a vending machine?
That happens in some places yes, I have seen vending machines for Strawberries, Eggs, Bread, Pizza, Factor like Meals among other things
Also bowls of ramen, live crabs, whiskey.
The first vending machine was from 1st century Rome!

Cool!
I live out in the country with a lot of farms and yeah people do this. I've seen apples, peaches, firewood, and a few other "shelf stable" things.
I've seen videos of some of these for honey, eggs, etc. Sometimes there's a sort of vending machine, but often if it's rural/small town, they can just get by with the honor system: drop money into a box, grab what you paid for.
No, the honey is on a sort of shelf outside and there's a box for you to put the money in. You could steal the moneybox and the honey but in civilised society it doesnt happen. This system is big for eggs around where I live - spare eggs are sold on an honesty basis at the end of driveways and if you are a really good customer you should return the eggboxes for reuse.
My nextdoor neighbor has bees. I meet them all the time cause they try to come in to my yard to build a new hive lol. My neighbor will come over and talk to them and try to get them to come in to a box. She treats them like little dogs, its pretty cute. Then she gives us free honey for our trouble.
I thought bees only do that when the hive they have is not good. But I am no expert, and might be reciting some bee propaganda.
Pretty sure sometimes they just split like that when they get a new queen, one takes a bunch of bees and heads out and the other stays there.
The bees are happy.
Dear god, my trypophobia was triggered at the thought of this.
I freakinβ love this! π
Sounds like it was the bees' knees
Not sure how many people will get this, but way back when I have Eve online a go, I made either some containers or markers (guessing markers? Cause otherwise I'd have just took the cargo but can't recall why I had two then), but they were called the bees knees and the cat's pajamas. For some reason I always liked those terms for something good. I'm 'only' in my 40s so not quite from my time lol.
A couple years ago I rescued a yellow jacket from my basement. For the next few weeks, every time I went outside, I had one yellow jacket following me around.
Not a bee story...but cute nonetheless.
Years ago we had a big ass yellowjacket nest above our front door. They were calm enough so I never removed them, and they kept the salesmen and soul savers the fuck away.
So, ya like Jazz?
I think a good contrast to this is when my dad saved a goose he accidentally snared in his fishing line. If flew straight across mid-cast.
He had to reel it in while it honked and freaked out and and tried to bite him but after that, they were pals.
Brought its goslings to see him on subsequent visits and everything.
First good goose story I have ever heard ever
I have a dog, we got as a puppy. He's a mutt. We named him Gus (after the mouse). His nickname became "Goose".
Once he grew up, we noticed his white markings on the underside of his neck (the rest of him is brindle) actually looks like the silhouette of a goose.
A dog dressed up as a goose is about the best you can expect from a goose really
You rescued a yellow jacket??? What is wrong with you
When I was growing up, what I remember calling "yellow jackets" were small yellow and black things, smaller than a bee. When I Google yellow jacket, I get images of flying death machines with a badass livery. Maybe you have different yellow jackets? Just a guess.
Forgiven.
You rescued? Those things are pure evil. It was probably waiting to inflict the most pain.
Would it be better to say I rescued my family from a yellow jacket? Who rescued whom?
