What is it with European bakeries and bees? I've seen memes and stuff about it, and this one youtuber, a Vietnamese woman who's German BF never shows his face, I can't remember her name right now. She showed a bakery in Germany with bees everywhere. Why is this a thing?

Wouldn't traps near the food be a bigger concern than wasps taking a bite? Idk I live in Germany so I might be desensitized. The way I see it wasp-free pastry is preferable but if they decide to help themselves then oh well. They don't soak the food in spit and they don't lay eggs on it, they just nibble.
I think those are actually wasps. It's particularly common in countries like Germany and Luxembourg where native wasps are protected species. As for Poland and other parts of Europe, it's hard to keep them out when you keep the doors propped open in lieu of central AC (and they're attracted to the fresh sugar), and wasps and bees don't transmit disease anyway, so people just get used to them
I'm wondering the same thing.
That price stings.
Ancient Signoid Secret
I'm not personally familiar with these jokes, but the signage does appear to be Polish or some similar language. This may not have been the intent?
the 'joke' is that they are spicy (jalapeno) because Poles are supposed to be stupid (according to the joke teller) and would eat them with bees still on them and get stung in the mouth.
Ah lol I wouldn't have viewed this as a "stupid poles" joke because I lack the context and have often called food with bees on them spicy.
But, if it's a thing, I guess it's a thing.
Ah that makes sense. I thought maybe the jalapeños were inside or something, but honestly your explanation is more likely and I'm just kind of a dumbass
I took thought it was actually jalapenos on the inside and wondered why wasps would be attracted if it was spicy and not sweet
Yeah, I also was like dang, I didn't know wasps were attracted to jalapenos, that is interesting! Some days I am dumb
Crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside
Spicy upfront
Extra spicy
Yikes
