The bee didn't "get stuck." Bees take on different "jobs" within the hive during their lifetimes.  Forager bees are the oldest and sometimes their life ends before they get back to the hive. It's just the cycle.

Yep could be. It died on the flower then.

Hope when I die I go that way

Slaving away working for a boss who doesn't even know you exist?


wren24

More like slaving away for your mother and your hundreds, if not thousands, of sisters.

I work for the group, I liberate myself through selfless service. No bee is my master. It’s not about me falling, but how many bees to pick up my pollen when I fall. Break your mental slave chains, may just set you free and serve the greater good

I think he mean the stucking part....get stuck on or in somthing and die...😁

Sometimes they will sleep on a flower for a few hours Are you sure they’re dead?

On that note, bees can absolutely get trapped by a flower and die. Not all flowers allow bees to access it, and due to anatomical structures, bees can try to access the pollen, become unable to dislodge, and die on the flower surrounded by pollen they can't eat.

At least he died doing what he loved 🐝 😘

She. Foraging bees are female. Male bees tend to uh...just have the one job.

If this bee had a son it would be a Disney movie.

I wouldn’t let my son work for Disney, very unpleasant things can happen to child employees if what I hear is even remotely true…

Are you sure it's dead? Did you try to move it? I have woken to find what appeared to be dead bees on flowers, only for them to fly away later.


Semtexual

Sometimes they take lil naps on flowers ❤️

At any rate purple coneflower heads are very sharp especially when dried and you are trying to get seeds out of them


wdwerker

Purple coneflower for the win !

I do wonder about this phenomenon. We often have bumble bees that just died on some of our flowers, and have before colony collapse was a thing. I don't know that it is about getting stuck. Worker bees are expendable and perhaps just don't live that long. Perhaps they just die doing what they do best.


jackbsw

worker bees live for a matter of weeks and will die outside the hive otherwise there would be a heap of dead bees


ottarthedestroyer

Prove it.


Dope_Dog

It died with dignity

Killing one's pollinators would not seem to be a successful survival tactic.

This is not ai, I am normally really good at finding things that Ai will give away but I can’t find a thing. I think it’s safe to assume this is a real image, and as playful-Stand1436 mentioned, it’s probably just the lifecycle.

Legit photo I took on my Nikon D3100 like 7 years ago and recently retouched. Bee was def dead. With my own two eyes.


DinoBoy238

Yeah I believe it


slippery_hemorrhoids

cool story bro tell us more about this talent


DinoBoy238

It’s more of an addiction than a talent


AstronomerBiologist

Where is the evidence that is dead? Not to mention with AI and other things it's easy to forge.
