BewilderedCat :nonbinary_flag:<p>Exhibit <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Knee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Knee</span></a> on the <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/TattooTour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TattooTour</span></a> is my piece of a set known as the bee's knees. A nesting partner has a similar tattoo but with a darker blue (bi colors) and slightly different design. </p><p>Several people in my life have wanted matching tattoos, and this is often a difficult situation. I know how relationships can ebb and flow over the years, but I am also poly (relationship anarchy). After some discussion, we decided on bumblebees as it parallels poly social constructs in fun ways.</p><p>Also, bumblebees will sometimes get 'drunk' on nectar and fall asleep in some flowers. They also like to just nap in flowers. Occasionally, they may fall out while napping. Moonflowers have psychoactive compounds like scopolamine (anticholinergic), and morning glories can have lysergic acid (LSA). Both those compounds are sleepy making. </p><p>So <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bumblebees</span></a> fit the need. It makes it easy to include more people into the tattoo theme as desired, and importantly isn't strictly bound to the set either.</p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Tattooed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tattooed</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/BeesKnees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeesKnees</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a></p><p>Sidebar: If anyone has thoughts on what a <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/HumbleBumble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumbleBumble</span></a> would look like, let me know!</p>
The Bee Guy<p>Maybe I should ask a bumblebee to chew on a bee fact…then it might arrive early!🙄<br>What?<br>What?<br>I do this for free!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/theBeeAt3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>theBeeAt3</span></a> </p><p>Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. </p><p># 81</p><p>Research found that tomato plants flowered up to 30 days earlier in response to their leaves being chewed by hungry <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bumblebees</span></a>.<br>When this behaviour is mimicked by cutting the leaves they only flower 5 days earlier!<br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a></p>
The Bee Guy<p>Told you I’d be back!<br>With today’s fact.<br>Still not sure if it’s late or not but it’s definitely a goodie regardless of the time.<br>And I am…<br>Regardless of the time!🙄<br>Go easy folks.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/theBeeAt3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>theBeeAt3</span></a> </p><p>Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. </p><p># 79</p><p>Recent research suggests that if food is scarce hungry <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bumblebees</span></a> will chew on plant leaves - not to eat them - but to stress the plant causing it to <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/flower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>flower</span></a> thus providing earlier <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/pollen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pollen</span></a> for the <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a>.<br>Chew on that! 🤯</p>
The Bee Guy<p>Late?<br>Not sure. They’ve been messing with the clocks again…and given my already tumultuous relationship with time…well…it wouldn’t surprise me if this wasn’t even today’s fact! <br>It’s not?<br>Ok<br>I need another fact.<br>I’ll be back!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/theBeeAt3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>theBeeAt3</span></a> </p><p>Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. </p><p># 78</p><p>Unlike females, male <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bumblebees</span></a> don’t perform learning flights on leaving the nest.

The Bee Guy<p>Please note:<br>All <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> in these clips were immediately rescued and survived. <br>Rescue was delayed for less than a minute to record their plight to make more people aware of this issue.<br>Whilst we concentrate on bees here all <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> should be shown the same consideration.<br>11/11<br>🙏🏼🌍<br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildlife</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/help" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>help</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/sanctuary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sanctuary</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bumblebees</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spring</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/saturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>saturday</span></a></p>
The Bee Guy<p>So you need to act fast - don’t leave her suffer while you do something else (with good intentions to get to her at some stage - which you might forget). <br>Why?<br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bumblebees</span></a>, even with a full stomach, have about 40 minutes of ‘energy’ in them before…<br>3/11</p>
The Bee Guy<p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Bumblebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bumblebees</span></a> don’t understand glass - they get confused and trapped and exhausted. <br>And they die. <br>Likewise with polytunnel plastic. <br>So if you see or hear a bumblebee buzzing and banging against a window in your house SHE NEEDS YOUR HELP - AND QUICKLY!<br>She’s in trouble.<br>2/11</p>
