  note: most domestic bees we see and raise for honey (Apis mellifera) are <b>not</b> able to make the &quot;heat ball of bees&quot;, they don&apos;t know how to do it. This is why asian hornets are so effective on them. this is not something frequent except in Asia with their local bees.<br><br>Did not knew about the smooth stinger queens have :)<br>Also, bees are very lunatic insects. One time you open up the whole hivebox, without gloves, it&apos;s ok and peaceful, another time, you look at it for too long / too close and you get stung. And... they often target the face.<br><br>I&apos;m raising a few colonies of these and sadly, the asian hornet is making life difficult (east of France).

  Bees are actually a great sign of clean air and good environment so you should be glad seeing them fly in your area, not to confuse w wasps tho

  Probably bc bee hives are a superorganism. You can find neat video clips of bees freeing themselves by walking in a circle after stinging a person. Looks like they will only fly off if panicked or swiped away by the victim.

  Loved the video... ❤ one time my neighbor got stung by 4-5 hornets, and he was hospitalized.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D41C5x9B48&amp;t=668">11:08</a> Smooth stinger is not an &quot;intentional&quot; design choice, although it is a necessity for the bee hive to just live long enough to reproduce, though it doesn&apos;t have to be absolutely perfect, often things barely work which is why absolute majority of animal species have disappeared without even leaving a fossil. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D41C5x9B48&amp;t=626">10:26</a> Evolution doesn&apos;t &quot;know&quot; anything. It&apos;s a process that lacks mind, agency or intent. It&apos;s simply the way the individual pieces fell together to form a functional whole, and it alone works because all the other pieces that fell together differently have perished and did not pass on their genetic material. <br>I&apos;m more than sure you know this, but I do believe that language is important. We already say many things in ways which introduce a lot of confusion such as &quot;my brain&quot; or &quot;his body&quot; or &quot;bees were &quot;designed&quot; in this or that way, expressions which pre-suppose existence outside one&apos;s body or brain or existence of some kind of &quot;designer&quot;. In some cases it&apos;s impossible to say things in a less confusing way, for example, replacing every verb, noun or adjective/gerund with &quot;evolved&quot;, &quot;evolution&quot; or &quot;evolutionary&quot;- does impact the aesthetic beauty of language. But &quot;evolution knows&quot; or &quot;intentional&quot; isn&apos;t one of those examples. There is definitely a way of saying the same thing in a less confusing way without it sounding tautological or recursive. For example &quot;because the bee hive would not survive if the bee queen died each time it stung a mammal, and was therefore unable to pass on her genes&quot;. Sorry for being pedantic. And, by the way - great video.

  there&apos;s a bunch of missinformation in the video.<br>- if the queen dies the colony doesn&apos;t die. as long as the queen managed to lay eggs bees will use them to rise a new queen. they will attempt to rise multiple queens just to be safe. this is the only time when the queen has to fight other queens<br>- worker bees are only sterile if there is no queen. after around a month of being queenless (it means they failed to rise a new queen from an egg) &nbsp;worker bees will start laying unfertalised eggs from which male bees will hatch, they will go into the world to mate with other queens to pass the genetics<br>- if you mess with the hive, the bees will sting you. unless they&apos;&apos;ve been bred to be docile. they don&apos;t escalate they use all the methods you&apos;ve mentioned at the same time

  Why cut to your face if you’re just going to blur it and use lower quality audio?
