Bees be like : ama swim in that, eat it, mix it with my saliva and regurgitate it, baby

Human : that's some tasty gourmet shit you got there, buddy . From now on we'll gas your entire home from time to time to steal that shit.

Have you ever tried to give a bee honey?

I found a bee near death outside once, and I picked him up with an envelope then dropped him in some manuka honey. He landed upside down, but I flipped him over, then he started drinking the honey. The next morning I saw a smudge on the floor and thought a housemate had squished him, but then I opened the door to the front room and he did a little dance in front of my face before I let him outside.

Suffice it to say, bees love honey just as much as we do.

But they get sugar water back in return.
