So obvious, but still hilarious

[u/dj768083 → u/NATHAN325]

You should write a movie script that has nothing but Bee puns like this throughout. And also vaguely imply that a Bee and a human are into each other. Who am I kidding, no one would approve that script.

i love bees. they can do so much with their limited capacity for intelligence. they're so helpful to humans, they can form entire little cooperative societies, and some are pretty cute too. hurray for bees 🐝 

[u/Zuwxiv → u/kkeut]

I also love that honeybees meticulously collect pollen and bring it back to these amazing structures gives. If we discovered honeybees today, it would blow people's socks off to see what an insect can produce.

But bumblebees just body slam flowers and live in mud holes. My spirit animal.

Never I thought I'd see someone teach a bee to open and close a door. Next video I expect to see you teach her to use the door bell.

Well done!

Well, since you’re beeing polite…

At least they didn't just bumble their way in...

[u/Rincetron1 → u/SUPERSMILEYMAN]

They need to buzz in first.

[u/Thatsidechara_ter → u/Rincetron1]

Or they can buzz off!

[u/CopaceticOpus → u/Ronin-Tru]

It would behoove you to open the door!

I never knew the queen entered and exited that frequently once they've settled.

[u/kkeut → u/BUYMECAR]

this is a bumblebee! not a honeybee. they form much smaller colonies, and a new queen does most of the work establishing the first generation of the colony before retiring to just egg-laying

[u/Overall-Assist6571 → u/kkeut]

Thanks. I also wondered this.

Girl retires after a tough career and starts fucking like there's no tomorrow, what an icon

[u/AirierWitch1066 → u/_Andras]

Hopefully someone corrects me if I’m wrong, but I’m fairly sure bees only mate once and then keep the genetic material around for their reproductive span. So it’s more like she retires, fucks once, and then becomes a SAHM

Always root for bees! We need them!

[u/DiscombobulatedHat19]

That’s a week faster than if took my cat to learn how to use a cat door using the same method

[u/AtTheEdgeOfDying → u/DiscombobulatedHat19]

A week? It's been 2 years with the new cat door and he still painstakingly pulls it toward himself and squeezes under it..

[u/MicroMouth → u/AtTheEdgeOfDying]

God mine does this too. Claws at the edge with one nasty fingernail until she gets purchase, pulls it out and squeezes through, then gets her tail caught and screams. ——- …Now that I come to think of it, I wonder if it was locked one way at some point and she learned this to beat the system. Shit.

[u/AtTheEdgeOfDying → u/MicroMouth]

I know it's because it's an electric chip activated one and we didn't hadn't noticed the battery had gone dead for like 3 days.. 2 YEARS AGO. Guess it just has never occurred to him to maybe try again lol.

The worst is when he can't get a grip and he keeps dropping it before getting his head under it and you're just listening to the freaking plastic door falling and creaking for like 5 mins before you give up and go hold the tiny cat door for him because clearly it's not his day 😂

[u/MicroMouth → u/AtTheEdgeOfDying]

Yes!! Middle of the night usually.

[u/Ill-eat-anything → u/DiscombobulatedHat19]

Oh.... The cat knew how to use the cat door from day 1. They just want you to keep opening the human door for them so they can sit on the threshold until all the heat has left.

[u/NKD_WA]

What is it meant to keep out? Smaller things that aren't big enough to figure out/use the door?

[u/Andi82ka → u/NKD_WA]

It is to keep the asian hornet ( Vespa velutina) away. They are very invasive in our region, so this is a chance that they can't go in.

[u/NKD_WA → u/Andi82ka]

Very cool! Hope this keeps them out.

[u/Andi82ka → u/NKD_WA]

It worked already last year

[u/lurkertiltheend → u/Andi82ka]

Is this your video??

[u/Professerson → u/lurkertiltheend]

No, she's the bee

[u/breadmakerquaker → u/Professerson]

I’m the door.

[u/nayorab → u/breadmakerquaker]

I’m the Asian hornet and I can’t figure out these doors! So annoying

[u/ShneakyPancake → u/nayorab]

You've disappointed your parents. Much shame has been brought to your family.

Edit: Thank you for my first award after 10 years haha

[u/Le_Poop_Knife → u/breadmakerquaker]

HODOR

[u/Cliteria → u/breadmakerquaker]

Can confirm, I'm the hypothetical doorbell that other commenter was suggesting

[u/Mundane-Reporter3782 → u/breadmakerquaker]

Hold the door

[u/Ok_Broccoli1434 → u/Andi82ka]

Can it teach that to the rest of the group, if there is one?

[u/Andi82ka → u/Ok_Broccoli1434]

The worker bees learn it by themselves, because they grow up inside and don't know how it would be without this

[u/Jimmy_Fromthepieshop → u/Andi82ka]

Does that mean ~20,000 bees are all using this one door?

[u/Treebam3 → u/Jimmy_Fromthepieshop]

That’s the number of bees in a honeybee colony. Bumblebee colonies are much smaller, 50-200 according to Google

[u/simon439 → u/Jimmy_Fromthepieshop]

A quick google search suggests bumblebee hives are much smaller. (Typically 50-400 although could be 20-1700)

[u/Fun-Jellyfish-61 → u/NKD_WA]

As long as no one shows the hornets this video we should be fine.

[u/StoryAndAHalf → u/Fun-Jellyfish-61]

Hopefully, no one crossposts it to r/CharlotteHornets

[u/nayorab → u/StoryAndAHalf]

They will try a 3-pointer through that door

[u/weepingflowers → u/Fun-Jellyfish-61]

Ugh typical redditors, posting things for upvotes with no regard for the possibility of Asian hornets scrubbing reddit

[u/Ok-Conclusion-3053 → u/Andi82ka]

What if the hornet knows too?

[u/AtlasPwn3d → u/Ok-Conclusion-3053]

Let's just hope the hornets don't learn to use reddit.

[u/CrispyyBurntRice → u/AtlasPwn3d]

Unfortunately they will. They are asian!

[u/Important-City-6639 → u/CrispyyBurntRice]

Usually I roll my eyes at most Reddit humor. But this shit made me giggle lol

[u/twisted_memories → u/Ok-Conclusion-3053]

This guy put the video online so now anyone can learn! Hornets, other bees, wasps, they’ll all learn!

[u/ardotschgi → u/Ok-Conclusion-3053]

It has the disadvantage of no training regime.

[u/whateveravocado → u/Ok-Conclusion-3053]

Yeah that’s what popped into my head, if it took the queen bumblebee less than 24 hours, how long will it take the hornet? The door’s not that hard to open. Can we teach the bee to lock it once inside? Then we’d really be cooking with gas.

[u/Plebtre117 → u/whateveravocado]

Would the bee have learned had the process not started with a very open door at the start that gradually got lowered to a close with each visit? For the hornet, it will have to deal with this strange door that it likely has no idea even opens at all, unless he’s spying from a distance with some binoculars, seeing the other bees coming and going through it.

[u/kkeut → u/Ok-Conclusion-3053]

what human is going to help train a hornet

[u/HeightExtra320 → u/Andi82ka]

But what happens if it learns to open the door 🤔 could some mad scientist some where be teaching it to do so?

[u/Axleffire → u/NKD_WA]

Probably wasps

[u/mckenzie_keith → u/NKD_WA]

The bumblebee learned in progressive steps. Even another bumblebee who came along would not figure it out from this point. Or might not. This bees behavior was modified in small steps.

[u/LordScotchyScotch → u/NKD_WA]

[u/Coherent_Tangent]

Do bumblebee queens not sit in the hive all day laying eggs? I know very little about bees, but I thought I knew this one.

[u/Short-Ad9823 → u/Coherent_Tangent]

The queen must raise her first workers herself.

She hibernates alone and then has to start the new nest. Accordingly, she must personally tend to the first eggs and feed the larvae. After that, the first worker can take over the job outside.

[u/Coherent_Tangent → u/Short-Ad9823]

Does she teach the workers how to use the door?

[u/Oldnbold22 → u/Short-Ad9823]

So the queen is the only bee to survive the winter? 

[u/Short-Ad9823 → u/Oldnbold22]

Honeybees overwinter as a colony. With bumblebees and wasps only the mated young queens survive the winter.

This thing in the video is a bumblebee. So no workers in the beginning

[u/ProtectionKooky4764]

Unreal. I wonder does she thinks she’s putting on weight or something 😂

Episode 2: Bumblebee queen learns to use WD40 on creaky door hinge

[u/oh_like_you_know]

I feel like every time she comes back shes like "ok what the FUCK now?!"

[u/kpod67]

Why is the queen bee coming and going? I thought they stayed put in the hive.

[u/JusticeForLobsters → u/kpod67]

Queen bumblebees overwinter under leaf litter and then emerge in spring to find a suitable nesting habitat. The worker bees and drones do not survive the winter and are born once the queen starts laying eggs in her new nest. She’s likely preparing her nest for the warm months before starting a new colony!

[u/Wombatgirl1 → u/kpod67]

I have the same question. And where are the other bumblebees? How do they get in and out?

[u/Interesting-Act2606 → u/Wombatgirl1]

https://www.bumblebeeconservation.org/learn-about-bumblebees/beginners/lifecycle/

[u/JusticeForLobsters → u/Wombatgirl1]

I replied to the comment above yours, but only the queen bumblebee survives the winter. She’ll lay eggs in her new nest that will become the workers and the drones.

[u/JuniperGem]

The cherry on top was them showing this queen complete the final level of entering the door TWICE. 🤓

[u/Warp_ta5k3r]

You’re giving that poor bee body dysmorphia😭

[u/asweetbite]

She's got more intelligence than most Redditors.

[u/ElSlabraton]

[u/Canadoll → u/Andi82ka]

Are there other bees in the hive? Does she teach them how to use the door?
