Yogisays...Ahhh what are you doing tiny human! HUMAN STAHP!!
eric3579says...Adorable! I'll take one of each.
antjokingly says...*bugs
Wait until she gets stung.
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Bugs) - requested by ant.
chingalerasays...Bee rescues' good, No litter...foods cheap-If only every bee whose wings wore-out had a little girl
ravermansays...Imagine breaking your leg in a strange world and being taken by a giant insect 1000x your size... who feeds you mashed meat off the end of a tree trunk. Isolated from any one else... kept in confinement... and 'petted' by a giant antenna that could crush you at any moment.
I bet he's screaming for us to let him die.... If only we could hear...
Jinxsays...Imagine having less than a million brain cells.

MilkmanDansays...I'm with Jinx. Plus, in my experience any animal with enough brain cells to actually contemplate its own situation like that (say, dogs or cats) will refuse to eat if it feels that its time has come and it is physically unable or not allowed to wander off and die in peace.
In other words, while I'm surprised that the bee is physically capable of that lifespan, I don't think it is capable of feeling that it is being cruelly held in some sort of "Johnny Got His Gun" nightmare life. And if it was, it would also be capable of refusing the food offered to it.
shatterdrosesays...Sad animals force their own death. It's like wild nature Seppuku. I'm sure the be is grateful . . . in it's own bee-way.
poolcleanersays...I also feel that way about hired NPCs in video games.
They have NO CHOICE but to follow you around. And then they are doomed to a near eternity of no movement on a digital save that you play *maybe* once 10 years from now because you're feeling nostalgic.
But you don't remember how to play at the save point from 10 years ago because it's too hard and the last thing he does is die unmercifully before you eject the cartridge and toss the game back in storage.
What sort of hell is that, man? Much worse than injured carpenter bee land.

ravermanjokingly says...So we don't value it's existence because it's too stupid to know better, but we value it's life as a quirky plaything for a child. I bet she doesn't even have a bee licence...

deathcowsays...These were in Hawaii... an insect large enough for my camera to actively track on AI SERVO mode.... then I found out they CAN sting.
