I was going to post the nothing to hide nothing to fear comment. Glad to see it popped into other people's minds

It probably did, you are right. Also, what about internal stuff. Who is to say that their plumbing hasn't evolved considerably over the eons?

They swarm as part of their natural cycle of colony reproduction. They do it a lot. The hive will be producing a bunch of new queens, and when one of them is ready to hatch the incumbent queen leaves with about half the worker bees in search of a new home.

The new queen is born a day or two later and becomes the head of the old hive. She will go on mating flights for the next two weeks or so and will start laying after about 3 weeks.

HOWEVER! Bees dont just lay one new queen cell. They lay loads. So that new queen does one of two things, it either goes around the hive and actively kills the other unhatched queens be stinging them (Queens don't die when they sing), OR she decides to do a swarm of her own, taking half the bees of the already halved hive with her. In some cases this can become a bit of a chain reaction, with multiple swarms happening day after day (this happened to me last summer with one hive). The result is that the original hive becomes unviable and dies due to a lack of workers and no laying queen to replenish the work force.

As for bees leaving voluntarily, I believe it does happen if conditions in the hive are bad enough (i.e. Exposure). Though they will stay put through a lot of shit, to the point of the hive dying.

Fucking hilarious.

Lol. Fair enough.

I'm a beekeeper. Fuck this stupid "humanity fuck yeah" bullshit. We trick the bees into staying in the hive. They do not accept or know anything about us stealing their honey. I work very hard to ensure that they don't leave the hive via swarming. I participate in bee eugenics by controlling which queens I allow to continue laying, executing those that are not laying enough, laying too much, or producing offspring with bad temperaments. It's a constant battle against their will to be free.

I'm a bee slave owner.

New dheli and Jaipur. Went for a friend's wedding. I did enjoy it but it was wild.

I was there about 20 years ago and I was a teen. I just remember constantly being harassed.

It was pretty wild

Cuba was the safest I have ever felt in any country. Followed by Vietnam and then China.

The most threatened I have ever felt is the UK (my home), Germany, India, Thailand, France. I've never been to that other shit hole the US, but I'm guessing it would be up there.

Anyway, there is some sort of pattern emerging from those data points, but I'll be damned if I can identify it.

Damn. So close

Is there ever any explanation for that style of armour that so many people in DBZ wear?

Lol. Two Boeing disaster reports in one day. It really is just a matter of time before they start dropping out of the sky

If Japan, South Korea or whoever suddenly had a Chinese backed coup and took control of US naval bases in their country, what do you think the US response would be?

Because that's exactly what happened in Ukraine. US backed coup, Russia moves in to Crimea to secure it's black sea naval base.

Is this the first time you are hearing this?

Here's another what if. What if Scotland voted for independence from the UK and became socialist or whatever. Do you think England wouldn't seize is nuclear submarine bases north of Glasgow?

How fucking baby brained are you?

I mean, the US was stirring up shit on their doorstep for nearly a decade, backing a coup and then dangling NATO membership over the noses of the new puppet government. What did they expect to happen (p.s. they knew exactly what would happen, the US wanted a war)?

And I mean, if the US can start wars half way across the world to protect its borders and interests I don't think they can be too surprised if another power does the same thing in their own front yard.

Regardless, I find the NATO malding utterly delicious. US about to lose yet another war.

The government is hoping to build the world's first fusion power plant in Nottinghamshire with operations beginning in the 2040s.

Lol. Can't build a functional railway with 95 billion pounds. Not sure how they expect this one to work. Oh wait, they have no intention of making it work. The private firms hired to do it will just claim they're trying to, and pocket the investment capital.

What a clown country...

It's a bimonthly thing for me. I know, eww

More than likely

Sadly there are still a lot of vile people on Lemmy. A lot less than Reddit, but still plenty

It's been real...
