My Tortoise escaped 2 days ago and a neighbor just found her today. We're so back.

I mentioned in another thread that i used to beekeep, and that I liked seeing how smart bees actually were, so here's a longpost about all of the cool stuff i remember:
1. They are impatient little fucks. If the entrance to their hive is crowded and there are bees just sitting around, the ones trying to get inside will shake the ones that are in the way to try and get them to move
2. I hadn't noticed any issues with the hive, but apparently the bees did. When the queen starts laying shitty bees, the rest of the hive will usurp her by clustering onto her and stinging her. I tried to keep my first queen in a little jar but i didn't soak her in alcohol so she molded.
3. Male bees exist to bang the queen. They die shortly after. The males realize this, and will crawl outside of the hive to die. This is perfect because the males don't have stingers, so I'd gather them and dump them in my chicken coop so the birds had something tasty to chase.
4. They are fucking LOUD. I used to camp out back by them because i liked their humming, and when my hive swarmed i could hear it from everywhere in the yard.
5. They don't bother stinging you and risking death in the early spring, because they don't have much to defend and could easily leave and start over. I only wore a bee suit in late summer. It's harder for them to travel as far, and tons of spring plants have stopped blooming.
6. Females spend the beginning of their lives caring for larvae.
Ϫ. My favorite thing is that some bees are seemingly designated "guard bees". When I'd open the hive, they crawl past everyone else to peak over the top of the frame and keep an eye on me.
<
I definitely miss beekeeping, but I just had too much shit going on, plus some unfortunate circumstances like losing a queen near the end of the season, so I gave up to focus on everything else. I will reunite with them SQQN.
If you have the space and the time, i fully recommend it. Just read up first. it's kind of expensive, but rewarding. I miss the lucky days when some honey comb broke off of a frame. I'd finish up, sit in the shade, and take bites out of the comb. it fucking rules

Highlighted the entire text, enabled read-aloud (with default female voice), and listened to the entire thing like any typical white person.

You need some mayan honey bees, they don't have stingers and are super chill. Plus the honey is probably the best I've ever had IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! Which is over 10000 years.

Somehow (((they))) never told me about this in all my time of researching different bees. I'll definitely look into them for when i start a new hive

I took my dogs to the vet today and when i was waiting in my car I saw some 20 something guy walk out crying. I wasn't trying to watch him, but i saw him spazzing out in his car for a bit. I'm guessing he had to put a pet down, i feel terrible for him.

You give him a bro hug? Or you beta male out?

I beta maled out. He was really going through it, screaming and shit. I figured I'd just bother him more than anything. Wanted to give him his privacy.
