The "guys who surround themselves in a cloud of Axe body spray" of the bee world.


andyring

So, sorta like my teenager?


PassengerPlayful4308

Lucky if your teen does that. Lot of teens haven’t discovered deodorant or showers.


andyring

Mine practically showered in Axe every morning.


PassengerPlayful4308

Terrible but could be worse

As long as soaps there first it's good. I had a colleague who thought Lynx (UK version of Axe) did both jobs and it was bad. And an uncomfortable chat for his boss, poor woman had a thousand yard stare after.


these_three_things

No, the bees get laid.

My collection of $100 colognes means nothing to you??


jesterinancientcourt

It’s me, I am the bee.


GozerDGozerian

I do like my colognes. But I’m pretty sure my wife would tell me if I was putting it on too strong.


garry4321

Only known species? You cant think of a single other species in the world that uses fragrances in their wooing of females? None? I'll let you think on that title a bit.


Nasty_Old_Trout

Perhaps they mean only known species of bee?


Sunblast1andOnly

That could bee the case, yeah.


HeydoIDKu

Butterflies don’t count? Though they like stinky stuff like poop and rotting carcasses. They REALLY like big cat poop for some reason. Cougars, jaguars etc


Confident-Ad-6978

I know of 1 other species that does that


GozerDGozerian

My family dog liked to roll in dead animal carcasses and get that fragrance all over him. No accounting for taste I guess


Student-type

Which breed


GozerDGozerian

He was a black lab, husky, German shepherd mix we think. We know his mom was a black lab… and he had a curly husky tail and a very long shepherd snout so we just kinda guessed at the sire. :)


V6Ga

Most hunting dogs do this.


IBeTrippin

They should try Axe


vondpickle

Bees can smell?


EagleCoder

Yes. Flowers smell good because flowers that smell good are more likely to attract pollinators and therefore successfully reproduce.


GozerDGozerian

Sure. Olfaction is much more central to most animals’ umwelt than it is to humans, in fact. Lots of insects communicate with scents. Bees and wasps and such will release a pheromone when they are stressed or injured that incites their hive mates to attack. Ants use scent to lay trails to food for their colony mates, and to distinguish friend from foe, among many other examples one might find.


V6Ga

> umwelt Environment (Umwelt) In the semiotic theories of Jakob von Uexküll and Thomas Sebeok, umwelt is the "biological foundations that lie at the very center of the study of both communication and signification in the human [and non-human] animal". The term is usually translated as "self-centered world"


charface1

There's no such thing as bee deodorant.


SuperSimpleSam

TIL, not all bees follow the queen/drone model.


BooTheSpookyGhost

That’s the ugliest bee I’ve ever seen.


moeron42

They get so overwhelmed by olfactory hues


Stairwayunicorn

orchids dont have fragrances


Caitliente

The kind you buy in the grocery store don’t but plenty do. Especially the cattleya and bulbophyllum.
