you've really only got to be bitten/stung once by some kind of insect to hate them deeply

bees get a pass because they are vital to the ecosystem. but gently caress wasps, fire ants etc. forever

all insects are vital to the ecosystem. ants kill termites. wasps kill spiders and mantis. spiders kill flies. bees help flowers have sex.

I was once bit by an ant in socal that left a giant welt on my big toe. Ants are still cool in my book.

Mods please rename me "level 1 death doula"

I am imagining this as a middle aged woman who bashes your head in with a rock for your assisted suicide. When she reaches level 10 she can give you a pill cocktail that will let you ease into death like a nice sleep. I think when she reaches level 3 and can shoot me to death im gonna give her a call though.

iirc mosquitoes have been ruled to serve no purpose, which is why some scientists are down with making them go extinct.

Whilst this is largely true of Bumblebees I can say as a beekeeper this is not true of Honeybees if you go near their hive. They will string the poo poo out of you then hundreds more will come and sting you as well. They can be totally chill a lot of the time but is one bee freaks out and stings you then it can become pretty bad news pretty quickly.

Is it possible to breed stingless bees that could still be used for honey/assorted bee products without altering honey output or anything?

A lot of native australian bees are stingless.

But the european honey bee is the easiest/best for mass market.

yea i dont think there are any requirements, its purely a comfort thing. fwiw most of them around here are retired nurses though

met one sat by my grandma for a while, very chill older guy. they have a notebook so they can pass on whatever info to the next vigilant & he'd written "sharp, determined (great sense of humor!)" i made it in time (traveled from another city) & we called off their care for the rest of the time but im really glad they were there when we couldnt be.

I don't think it's about eliminating all mosquitos, just Aedes aegytpi. The argument is that another species of mosquito would fill the niche just as well in the absence of competition.

In Australian Rules football, you have to bounce the ball every 15 paces to avoid a traveling foul.

The games are played mostly in open-air stadiums that attract birdlife to their vast expanses of natural turf.

These things very rarely combine, but today they did.
