I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Piss ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion… I watched Pee-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in rain…

  • Honey bee Queens can live for about 3 years. Workers vary. Winter workers have shorter lifespans due to high activity, while the winter bees which just need to be fat and huddle together in the hive to prevent all the bees from freezing to death can live for about 6 months. As the queen gets older and stops laying as much, the workers will eventually kill her and allow one of that season’s new queens to replace her.

    This hive us huge though. No one queen could support a hive if 5.5 million so I’m guessing this must actually be a number of hives in close proximity.

    I used to keep bees. Fucking stressful stuff.
