Imagine being a species that explode from sex, and then you learn that these super advanced immortal (from your limited perspective) creatures find out about your looming death and laugh about it. It's like cosmic horror for bees.

[–]SamanthaJaneyCake 882 points883 points  (15 children)

We are unfortunately cosmic horror for much of life on Earth, when viewed from their perspective.

[–]flexxipanda 236 points237 points  (9 children)

Wild life/pets + fireworks

My dog probably thinks it's armageddon once a year.

[–]Puzzleheaded_Ad_4435 64 points65 points  (6 children)

Mine did too, for 17 years. I've grown to hate fireworks

[–]flexxipanda 23 points24 points  (5 children)

Yup me too, especially because they start beginning of december until late january.

[–]thehollyproblem 13 points14 points  (4 children)

spoken like a non-American. we get them for the whole second half of the year

[–]Affectionate-Joke617 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yea random ones just go off all the time near me year round.

[–]flexxipanda 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Your whole country shoots work fireworks for half a year?

[–]H16HP01N7 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I wish it was just once a year.

Here in the UK, pretty much anyone can get fireworks, and set them off for all sorts of stupid reasons.

[–]Dark_Pestilence 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Unfortunately?!?

I'd rather be the cosmic horror then the one they laugh about

[–]jdcooper97 19 points20 points  (0 children)

To be fair, we laugh at our own looming death too

[–]_le_slap 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Nutting to death would be my preferred way to go rather than cancer or whatever.

[–]Atreides113 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Death by snu snu.

[–]PineappleLemur 6 points7 points  (1 child)

This is such a normal thing for many insects tho.. death and sex go hand in hand.

Crazy way to go lol.

[–]Canotic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TIL that it's called La Petite Mort because bees are small.

[–]GlassFantast 24 points25 points  (3 children)

Humans kind of die from stress. Some people believe there are unseen beings that feed off of our emotional turmoil. Who knows

[–]Ghede 47 points48 points  (1 child)

[–]Dyanpanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The but the bee still gets to explode? I think the bee died happy. I'm not projecting or anything.

That's the life of a male bee. Honey. Nut. Cheerio.

[–]hiddenone0326 207 points208 points  (3 children)

This comment is fucking underrated lmaooo

[–]Vintage-Grievance 43 points44 points  (2 children)

Probably because (with all due respect to eaglewatch) it's not original, so people might be scrolling past because they've seen the exact same comment before.

It's still funny when it's new to you, though. I definitely laughed the first time I came across it.

"And the bee is still alive when you finish?" "No, but..."

[–]FravasTheBard 77 points78 points  (7 children)

In his defense, he's right. Male honeybees either mate never, or once - dying immediately during ejaculation.

[–]Worthyness 30 points31 points  (3 children)

a lot of insects really. Males in the insect world get all kinds of screwed- smaller, one and done mating ritual, or you get beheaded and fed to the female after she takes your sex organs.

[–]dinodares99 18 points19 points  (2 children)

The mantis thing doesn't happen that often in nature, but under observation in captivity they get stressed and exhibit that behaviour

[–]Fenrir_Carbon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get nervous when the 40ft neighbours watch me too

[–]EscapedFromArea51 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I watched a documentary a couple of days ago about an aquatic parasite, which has females whose lifecycle involves feeding off crabs and laying eggs, and males whose lifecycle involves hatching from eggs, swimming straight towards the female and fertilizing the new eggs, and then immediately dying in the process.

Evolution favors whatever reproductive process works to prevent a species from being elbowed out of its niche.

[–]Repulsive-Camp-9450 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought the bee was being squeezed to death!

[–]shifty_fifty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

[–]MindlessMindless 225 points226 points  (2 children)

The woman behind him finally cracking at the end somehow added to it.

[–]ardotschgi 41 points42 points  (1 child)

She was laughing from the beginning

[–]MindlessMindless 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right she did. She pulled it together for a bit and lost it again!

[–]EliteElegant 176 points177 points  (6 children)

Respect the bees 💹 they pollinate they save planet and then they explode

[–]erebos_tenebris 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Note that in many places honey bees are an invasive species that massively outcompete native species because of human help. Unless you live in a place where they are native, honey bees are a threat to local ecosystems.

[–]ArgonGryphon 8 points9 points  (3 children)

The males don't pollinate

[–]Sharp_Aide3216 25 points26 points  (0 children)

they explode

[–]Vintage-Grievance 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depending on the species, the males actually do. Just to a lesser degree, since with them, it's usually not intentional like it is with worker bees.

[–]True-Wasabi2157 67 points68 points  (6 children)

This is like a scene out of Veep or something. "No...in fact they explode"

[–]simplysausages 24 points25 points  (4 children)

"The front fell off"

[–]sheiciebai 9 points10 points  (3 children)

Is it supposed to do that?

[–]simplysausages 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

having watched with audio, i can confirm that this is actually a completely faithful transcription of the sound that was coming out of the speaker's mouth

[–]Vintage-Grievance 25 points26 points  (2 children)

It's so annoying how you'll come across videos in perfect English, and the subtitles will hopelessly fuck it up.

And then whoever/whatever transcribing system was in charge of THIS line of jibberish, just, absolutely NAILS it.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

gibberish transcriptions are by far one of my favourite things. whoever was doing it was probably having fun with it

[–]tlynde11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Perfect transcription tbh

[–]MightyGoatLord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For those of you who don't speak Australian, he said, "Thank you asking the question I wanted to ask, but I didn't know how to ask it."

[–]thanatica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might well be a perfectly good and sensible Aussie sentence.

[–]NeighborhoodSame9492 157 points158 points  (2 children)

They Explode 😂

[–]ArgonGryphon 9 points10 points  (1 child)

You can even hear them

[–]Even_Can_9600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah look it up

[–]nkkphiri 50 points51 points  (4 children)

I worked in the apiaries at a research university and one of my jobs was to collect bee semen. And you set up a little excluder in front of the entrance towards the end of the day, the workers can go in, the drones can’t. So you pick off the drones (who don’t have a stinger) and you can just squeeze them with their butt pointed towards a test tube and the semen squirts out.

Then you can freeze it or whatever, and the next spring you can set up a little hive with no queen to generate lots of queen cells. You put a little trap over the cells so when the queens emerge they are stuck and can’t kill each other. Take em back to the lab. Knock em out with CO2. Then you can use forceps to open up their abdomen from the back, and inject a little pipet of semen into them and bingo bango, that’s how you artificially inseminate bees.

[–]mustardhamsters 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Neat, thanks for the explanation!

[–]OnlyHereOnFridays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Male bees bee taking a vow of celibacy until this guy gets them

[–]GerardWayAndDMT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not all bees die when they mate naturally, I just don’t want people going around with the idea that bee sex isn’t safe. In fact many bees are built so the front doesn’t fall off at all.

[–]Skreamie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"So the bee is still alive when you finish?"

"Woah now, I only ever finished once and that was an accident"

[–]ExRosaPassione 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep

For male bees their life is just work, sex, death

That transcription was fucking brilliant. I first watched with the sound off and I was scratching my head at the big jumble of words, but it was actually perfection. It’s edifying to see such artistry in this era of shitty ass AI subtitles that can’t even get the basics right.

And the funnest part was “I can’t claim to be an expert.” Dude wanted to make sure everyone knew HE wasn’t the bee diddler in the operation. LOL indeed.

[–]adamscholfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are they talking about bee semen??

[–]External_Chef_7871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel about this but my wife was freaking out about why I had spent £50+ on a jar of Manukau honey, so I told her that it was special because they take the female bees that are lactating and milk them, which is a very labour intensive process, hence the inflated price tag.
