Today I Learned



The mating process of bees is interesting and a little shocking.

First of all, candidates for Queen Bee are selected and worker bees feed them a special jelly concoction, and the virgin Queen Bee which survives to adulthood without being killed by her rivals will take a mating flight with a dozen or so male drones, selected from the tens of thousands of eligible bachelor bees in the colony.

The drones which do mate with the queen bee are not the lucky ones because during sex when the male bee reaches climax its testicles explode and it dies.

And his genitals remain inside the Queen.
