If you carry and deposit pollen - use the Bees, if you are laying eggs - use the Birds, else use the floor.

Bees - Male, Birds - Female

But bees also lay eggs, and birds also carry and deposit pollen

Also male birds don't lay eggs 🥚🥚

And only the queen bee lays eggs, any bee out and foraging around is a sterile female.

Isn't it mostly just hummingbirds that would get involved with pollen? Or are there others?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

It's not exclusively hummingbirds, there are a few others. The wikipedia pages on Ornithophily and Nectarivores have some info about this.

But bees are almost only females

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah, males are the drones.

To be honest, the gender binary makes even less sense for bees (as well as wasps, ants, hornets, termites, and other hive insects) than it does for humans.

Hive insects have three sexes: queens (analogous to females), drones (analogous to males), and workers (which could be analogous to intersex people, but it doesn't really translate into human biology).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well if no queen is there one of the workers will transform into a queen.

Wow never actually got the meaning:

According to tradition, "the birds and the bees" is a metaphorical story sometimes told to children in an attempt to explain the mechanics and results of sexual intercourse through reference to easily observed natural events. For instance, bees carry and deposit pollen into flowers, a visible and easy-to-explain parallel to fertilization. Female birds laying eggs is a similarly visible and easy-to-explain parallel to ovulation. Another interpretation of the bird laying the egg is childbirth, although that is not as common.

PS: left the links in this time, on iOS usually have to copy to PasteBoard to get plain text - just started happening in Voyager

I am shocked how few people know Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings? Bees (females) going flower to flower, pollinating.

I hope those are single user bathrooms. It just simplifies things.
