Gimme some honey and comb on vanilla ice cream
How many flakes in a scale?
I don't know why, but this grosses me out so much.
Yeah it looks really disgusting, like it's shitting soft teeth
oi you didn't need to put that image out there in the world
you could have just kept that to yourself
Nobody needed to share that picture of bees making wax, either. 😩 We've all had our share of trauma from this post.
How did it never occur to me to ask where bee's wax comes from?
I mean, it’s right there in the name: beeswax, its own word.
I don't know what I was expecting exactly but it wasn't little wax scales coming from their abdomen
I always kind of hoped they pooped the wax out like spider's silk.
I assumed it was like cream separating from milk, only wax from honey, but to be fair I have never really thought about it much
I thought they regurgitated it into the honey combs.
U & me both
how many burgers is one lb?
you do know what quarter pounder means right?
still depends on if they're the same pound, there are a few to chose from
🇬🇧 - It means it costs 25 pence, or £0.25.
Seven bald eagles and three units of freedom
If you spread that stuff on wood or leather, it'll last forever.
What’ll really bake your noodle later on is the wax is made from honey.
I mean, the whole bee is, if you think about it
Whoa hey now, you're not going to get me to think that easily
Mostly pollen actually. The honey is just the fuel.
Sort of like how the spit in your mouth, the tears in your eyes, the snot in your nose, etc is primarily made of filtered blood.
I never really thought about it but bees are fuckin weird
Hey man, let them live their lives. Mind your own bees wax... It's not your wax, it's the bees wax.
Everyone should mind their beesness.
Back in my day, minding your own beesness was the bee's knees!
He should use Head & Shoulders, will clear that right up.
Gross, but also neat
Weird bee teeth, tooth fairy origins?
