This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Robber bees. Hehe that makes me chuckle. Do they have white and black stripes with itty bitty masks?

In the end of the article she mentions asking other beekeepers to keep their bees well fed. What exactly do bees actually eat?

Honey bees eat pollen, nectar, and honey. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some kinds of bees that eat other things, though.

Hive minds are actually pretty smart, collectively.
