A cartoon illustration of a father bird and mother bee sitting down to talk to their mixed bird-bee child. Caption reads “Son, your mother and I feel you’re ready to have the ‘talk’.”
Is this about sex, or is it because he’s a hermaphrodite?
Fun fact once in every birds life they will eat a bee then feel ill and never do it again
I’ve always wondered about the etymology of that phrase.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_birds_and_the_bees May not clear much up, but it’s a start for me and yet another rabbit hole. So I thank you for that.
In German it‘s bees and flowers which makes more sense
How so?
bees pollinate flowers
And that’s supposed to be similar to insemination?
The birds and the bees are both males. They pollinate flowers, which would be the females in the analogy.
