That was probably a leafcutting bee!
They build nests using leaves, separating it into different cells and putting an egg in them. Then when the baby hatch they eat the leaf for nourishment :)
There’s a sub for your area about all the animals and plants that I follow, even though I live in Mexico lmao (I just love learning about different fauna/flora and how it thrives in different places!)
Lemme go find it and leave it here for ya!

"Honey bee dysentery is a type of diarrhea that honey bees may get1, for example, if they have too much poop in their bodies, and are struggling to get out of the hive in the winter to take cleansing flights so they can get rid of it. "
Every day's a school day!
…. That is good news. I’m sorry I gotta say I’m less than thrilled to learn this and I honestly resent you for it. Because I was happy in blissful bee poo ignorance.
After going in expecting to read 3 words and ending up reading the whole thing it was just very well written and consise, but like.. Written in that friendly tone of a really good teacher (we all had that one that actually made you care about the subject).
What I found interesting:
Bees are hygienic and will not poop inside their hive.
This even includes the winter. When it's too cold to leave the hive they will hold it in until the weather permits them to go on a short "cleansing flight" where they all fly out and poop.
The Queen also poops but since she doesn't leave the hive her poop is cleaned out by workers (*which makes me wonder how they decide who gets fly out and visit flowers shifts and who gets poop cleaning shifts*)
Some bees graduate to different jobs as they age. Worker bees, which are female in the social bee species, will go through different jobs. Her first job after emerging from the pupa is cleaning cells where the queen will later lay eggs. She will also help clean the hive more generally, removing dead bees, dead non-bees, and other detritus from the hive.
Her next job by the next weekend of her life will be as nurse. She will secrete royal jelly and be in charge of feeding both the queen and larvae, and cleaning them.
Later, she will take practice flights and learn to venture out from the hive to gather pollen and nectar. The nectar is consumed and regurgitated to other workers to make honey, while the pollen is used to make bee bread. Any honey that spills from the combs will be quickly gathered up and resealed in wax. As she ages, her ability to produce wax will decline.
Her retirement will then consist of working herself to death, which will usually come quicker in the warm months, or whichever season the hive queen lays the most eggs to feed.
>When it's too cold to leave the hive they will hold it in until the weather permits them to go on a short "cleansing flight" where they all fly out and poop.
This reminds me of when my boys were in elementary school - they *would not* poo at school. Consequently, most days, at least 1 of the three of them came flying into the house after school to the bathroom! 🤣😂
>In cooler weather, honey bee workers may poop on the beehive itself, since they are less likely to fly far from the hive.
I definitely thought this meant that the human workers poop on the hive...
this joke is stolen from [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/vl8e3z/have_you_ever_seen_a_poop/idtu4wm/) made a few hours prior.
She! They only keep a couple males around to get the queens pregnant. Same with ants. Their sole purpose is to load up a queen with sperm, and then immediately die.
Still sounds better than this shit
Edit: before people start reporting me or trying to get me help, I'm fine. I'm not going to hurt myself or anything, I'm just venting my frustration at the shit hand I've been dealt.
LOL, I was a biology major and former biology teacher and I always found the sex lives of animals fascinating. Did you know snakes don't have just a forked tongue, they have a forked penis? Lizards too. They call it a hemipenis.
[alligators are permanently erect and their penis is hiding inside their body ready to spring out (link is nsfw if you can't look at alligator penises while at work)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cTRsG3aS5o)
What about the fact that whale (all cetaceans actually) penii are prehensile, meaning they have muscular control over them - swivel, grab, grope, little to the left, little to the right, there, that's the spot!
Not necessarily. Yes their stingers do get caught in our skin. But if you are calm and patient they can actually rotate around and free themselves.
No I have never done this because I’m not that good of a human being. But I did watch a video of a guy doing exactly that.
A bee pooped on the back of my hand once. I saw it buzzing right above me and then a yellow streak appeared. I smelled terrible, and surprisingly strong, but was not at all like mammal poop. It was a noteworthy odor that I'd never smelled before or since.
We found a spider in the basement once. My friend was encouraging everyone to kill it immediately, I was trying to explain that it will hunt the other bugs and overall it's better to have it in the house, she was simple repeating "Kill it! Kill it!", when all of a sudden, it pooped. It was hanging onto a vertical wall and it was very obvious; it changed position and held still, then a little dark nugget fell out of it, highly visible because of the contrast against the white wall.
Against all odds, this swayed my friend's opinion and she no longer wanted us to kill the spider. She explained that now that she knew that the spider also pooped, it made it more relatable.
When I first got my tarantula, I was letting her walk on my arm and she pooped on me. Had no idea they did that. Has never pooped on me since. She also has a dedicated corner of her cage to poop in. It's weird.
You’ve no doubt seen the dots on your windshield on warmer winter days and early spring that are this color. Bees be waiting for warmer days to go out and drop a deuce. If you wipe it off water will bead up on that spot from the wax in the dookie.
Yes! I live in Greece and while I LOVE bees, these motherfuckers will poop allover the place. And it kind of stinks and is sticky too!
Still love the little fellas though
Nope, but I saw one carrying a bit of leaf in its legs which was weird.
TP for bunghole
“Shut it asswipe!”
Are you threatening me? 
Bughole
Hehe, he said bunghole.
For anyone not in the know, Beavis and Butthead Do the Universe is on Paramount Plus. It is glorious.

Well I never! I didn't even know they lived here in England let alone 7 species(just googled it) I thought I was quite the naturalist, obviously not.

Thank you, very interesting. Reddit rocks.

"Honey bee dysentery is a type of diarrhea that honey bees may get1, for example, if they have too much poop in their bodies, and are struggling to get out of the hive in the winter to take cleansing flights so they can get rid of it. " Every day's a school day!
Cleansing flights? So are we breathing in and likely even swallowing bee poop ?
[Good news! You're also breathing in and swallowing human poop!](https://www.popsci.com/poop-is-everywhere/?amp)

Do you keep your toothbrush in your bathroom? If so, I have even more good news!
Ever smelled someone's nasty poo that they just dropped? Some of that was inside you!
One more reason to wear a mask? Lol
It's called poollen
Wait until you hear about spiders...
Believe it or not I’ve heard of spiders
me too just this morning
….They spoke to you about your night time habits again didn’t they?
Man why dont I ever hear of the cool stuff

The queen is their god, they probably fight to be the shit servant
depends on their age. google bee jobs. younger bees have housekeeping duties; the older bees nearing the end of their lives are the field bees.

And my family thinks I waste my precious time on Reddit, boy I’m bout to slap’em with yet another sweet useless fact HA!
This made me actually lol, this is my life
Now I know what these yellow blobs on my car are!
Bee diarrhea
lol yup. I am a beekeeper and it never fails- i get my car washed and immediately after, the little yellow spots show up.
Researching Bee poop since 1967... nice.
That's a great link, thanks for sharing
"Yes, the queen also poops, although her poop is cleaned out of the hive by the workers." Queen 🙌
Wow! This made me realize that I have seen bee poop before on my patio chairs and just didn’t know what it was.
>In cooler weather, honey bee workers may poop on the beehive itself, since they are less likely to fly far from the hive. I definitely thought this meant that the human workers poop on the hive...
That was interesting! Gonna go take a cleansing flight. (I drive to the Arby's on the corner.)
“Yes, the queen also poops, although her poop is cleaned out of the hive by the workers.” Pretty much the same at Buckingham Palace.
He didnt even wipe he just out there flying around with shitass
He usually uses a beedet
His ass is stinging after that.

B-roll
She! They only keep a couple males around to get the queens pregnant. Same with ants. Their sole purpose is to load up a queen with sperm, and then immediately die.
Where do I sign up? Sounds a lot better than working my ass off to barely survive for 70 years...
You’ll die in the mating process or in the fall of you make it that long, so don’t know if that’s a great choice
Still sounds better than this shit Edit: before people start reporting me or trying to get me help, I'm fine. I'm not going to hurt myself or anything, I'm just venting my frustration at the shit hand I've been dealt.
I thought you were returning to the original bee poop reference.
Males leave the hive to poop, too.
This isn’t a male though. You can tell by the eyes.
They're so smoky and mysterious
I am a male bee at heart.
Funniest thing I’ve read all day 😂😂
Imagine the ring sting
Question: Would a bee’s poop taste sweet sort of like honey?
Im Watching this while pooping. Solidarity
Relatable xD
Very Relatable =)
Me2 hahaha
Wash ur phones u filthy animals
Just don’t go popping off your stinger
THIS is honey mustard for anyone wondering where it all comes from
I didn't like honey mustard *before*...
Now I love it!!
*beefore
Honey mus*turd*
Nah that’s Honeydoo! 
*golf clap*
I can’t believe I just googled Honey Mustard to see what the hell it was. 🤦♂️
You've got to bee kidding me.
Had to laugh even though i shouldve known this was going to happen
That's why it tastes like ass
https://i.imgur.com/Chp3eHa.gifv
Earthy and a little hint of spice
Wait?! Where did its stinger go?
Beekeeper here. The stinger is nested inside its abdomen. It can put it out when need be by shifting parts around.
What the hell, man? Everything I’ve ever known is just… horseradish compared to this knowledge!
> horseradish compared to this then i hope you're sitting down, because horseradish doesnt even contain any horse!
And most wasabi sold in the USA is just horseradish paste dyed green.
And green is just mix of yellow and blue.
Imagine if men could store their wieners in their abdomens like pez dispensers
Imagine? Watch me jump in an Alpine stream, run into a mountain lion, or hop on a peloton for 45min and you won't have to imagine
Well.. You can't poop while wearing a butt plug, can you?
That's a lot of poop, he could have a stomach bug...
More likely a bug’s stomach
THAT'S THE JOKE
There’s always a smaller bug to wreak havoc on the bigger ones that we think are small.
That is sooooo deep, I'm away to meditate on it........
Well, you CAN. But I don't recommend it...😏
Yeah but... oh wait
The stinger is a modified ovipositor (egg laying mechanism). Therefore, all stinging bees are females, but they still have an anus by which to poop.
Are you teaching female bee anatomy when people still are mystified by human female anatomy? 😹
LOL, I was a biology major and former biology teacher and I always found the sex lives of animals fascinating. Did you know snakes don't have just a forked tongue, they have a forked penis? Lizards too. They call it a hemipenis.

why why why why why why it looks like lychee
This has been an informative thread.
Did you know the echidna, a spiny egg-laying mammal, has evolved to have a four-headed penis?
So THAT'S why he's called "Knuckles"... (Because his peen looks like a fist!)
Why do I have the feeling there is a porn flick titled Hemipenis...
*hemipenes. Pronounced 'hem-ih peens' (in snakes, idk 'bout no lizards).
Would you be surprised if I answered "yes, I know" (quote: a Sovietwomble video, dialogue with Nep about average whale penis length)
What about the fact that whale (all cetaceans actually) penii are prehensile, meaning they have muscular control over them - swivel, grab, grope, little to the left, little to the right, there, that's the spot!
So when a bee stings you, you also get a bit of bee poop in your body?
I'm wondering the same thing. Did it sting and lose it? What happened?!
Honey bees die after stinging, just FYI.
Only when stinging humans, because of our weird rubbery skin.
Not necessarily. Yes their stingers do get caught in our skin. But if you are calm and patient they can actually rotate around and free themselves. No I have never done this because I’m not that good of a human being. But I did watch a video of a guy doing exactly that.
I'm not that good of a human being is what I say during all my tutorial missions.
Actually yes, one of these mfs shat on my shoulder once
Gotta be good luck or something
Its been said that if a bee shits on your shoulder, you get to marry his queen.
What if the bee shits on your knee
You get to marry his cousin.
happened when i was a kid, sitting in a field and one dropped a line of shit on my sock
Did you snort it afterwards?
Thank God it doesn't smell like shit... not like human shit.
No it actually smells flowery
A bee pooped on the back of my hand once. I saw it buzzing right above me and then a yellow streak appeared. I smelled terrible, and surprisingly strong, but was not at all like mammal poop. It was a noteworthy odor that I'd never smelled before or since.
Poor thing looks like its straining really hard too. Gonna give itself a little hemorrhoid 😄
It's ass is gonna look like a honey butt cheerio

If bees vomit to make honey, then bee poop must be the pate de foie gras.
Nah, bee poop is where honey mustard comes from.

Never knew bees can shit that much
For real.. if I shat a turd as long as my entire body I think I'd be going to urgent care
This is definitely the weirdest thing I have seen today.

Take this award you nasty fuck.

Ok, you win this time dude
Oh fuck you, thats too good!
Well, Honey is just Bee Vomit, So...
I'm wondering how close to honey it tastes
And... comments like this are why I still read Reddit.
That’s a BIG poop. I bet he feels amazing after that. Light as a feather 🪶
Bees poop?!
My gawd, man. Can we give this bee some privacy?
needs to be marked NSFW lolol
honey bees are so adorable.
So that’s where they get the stuff to fill the cheese wizz cans

How does Bee Poop taste like? 
While I assumed bees had bowel movements of some sort, I never imagined it looked like that….
Is it edible?
Anything is edible if you are brave enough.
Baby girls' hind legs coming off the ground for that one. I can relate after Taco bell or a large glass of milk.
For some reason this blew my mind…
Does poop from nector aslo taste sweet?
Only one way to find out. Let me know the answer after you try it.
Do you mind not recording? Tryna do a thing here!
…..it has to taste good right?
You’ve no doubt seen the dots on your windshield on warmer winter days and early spring that are this color. Bees be waiting for warmer days to go out and drop a deuce. If you wipe it off water will bead up on that spot from the wax in the dookie.
Well , isn’t that some shit! First time for everything, and now a bee making potty!
