Bees are fascinating to us.

There's something almost hypnotic about watching bees work in harmony. There's structure, timing, efficiency, and it's all being done in harmonious teamwork that people would wish they had. At work, at home, outside - being a little bit of a bee would bee way better.

Just imagine your coworkers doing their tasks right on the deadline, so you won't have to wait for things to be delivered. Imagine your friend's schedules aligning so nicely together that you can finally schedule that D&D session. Imagine everyone arriving on time for the family BBQ, so there are no complaints about no good meat left (we're talking to you, Aunt Barbara). This is the great efficiency of bees that we adore so much. They've got to be the most teamwork-y creature in all of the animal kingdom.

Have you ever seen bees at work in a hive? We have in a recent trip we've done. It was part of a tour in a rural area, and amongst the things we visited was a beehive. And let us tell you, seeing them work in real time was like a hypnotic experience. We couldn't take our eyes off it. Bees work and toil so efficiently that it's more than just impressive. It's mesmerizing.

If that's not the most adorable thing you've seen all day, we don't know what it is you've seen that could beat that. Bees are honestly so cute. They have some bad PR because they sting, but the thing is - bees never just sting someone. They use their sting as a last resort, when they feel threatened and feel they can't do anything else.
The only time in our life when we were stung by a bee was when one got stuck inside our shorts. It was summer, the shorts were airy and breathable, and a bee got inside from the bottom and couldn't figure out how to get out. We didn't know it was there, of course, until we felt the sharpest pain… it was painful, for sure, but the poor thing was so stressed it probably thought it was getting eaten. So the bee used the sting.
