Next they'll be placing dumbells and weight machines for the bees. That how you get swollen bees. The bees will beat us to a pulp.

i mean we already have murder hornets, and bees are generally on our side on the war against hornets, so i'll take monster bees.

Huh. Apparently bees do eat pollen, for the proteins and fats it contains. I thought it was only nectar, but no.

Yes. Pupae are fed a mix of pollen and nectar/honey called "bee bread". (Honey is nectar that has its water content reduced to 20% and is sealed, to prevent fermentation.)
