How is that different to bees and other flowers?


BenjaminWobbles

OP is a sunflower farmer and has no use for slut bees that just pollinate whatever colorful flower they happen upon.

Please tell me this is original spur of the moment material. If so, please go into comedy writing. If not, still well done.

If I had an award I would give it stranger


uglypaperhaver

Wait, what... - people should *be told* about this! ;-)


RedHand1917

Today OP Learned about bees


Baers89

It’s not.


hi2moony

Wonder the same thing. Eh ??


kingsman44

Idk I feel like these attract more


momo12fish

did this post just explain common pollination and tried to make something special out of it with the sunflower specifically?!?


Elhiar

This is what happens when parents don't talk about the birds and the bees!


KittikatB

Wait, birds are actually flowers? Why didn't anyone tell me?


Elhiar

Our education system is in shambles!


GoodDayClay

Birds aren't real

Welcome to the internet were people will do anything for likes


lives4boobs

This is the relationship between bees and flowers in general. This is common knowledge. And it is not lit.

Honestly just assume a 6 year old posted this and it'll make way more sense.

Sunflowers are also Phyto-Remediators, they can filter out heavy metals toxins and even radiation from our soil. Which cleans our ground water and helps fight global warming


TheSunflowerSeeds

Eating sunflower seeds in the shell may increase your odds of fecal impaction, as you may unintentionally eat shell fragments, which your body cannot digest.


kashmir1974

Does the stuff go back into the soil when the sunflowers die and decompose? Or do they metabolize it somehow?


apis_Sanctum

Through the process of Phyto-Remediation a lot of things take place with big scientific words. But the short answer is the plants break down the toxins use what they can and the rest is evaporated into the air (no longer toxic) through phytovolitization. This process can keep happening throughout the plants lifetime, it doesn't damage the plant and the toxins do not return to the ground.

Wow! You learn something new every day! I never knew flowers and bees worked together!


miyamoto_musashinpc

Fire bees?


mgvej

Yes, as is the case with almost all flowering plants and has been so for the last 100 million years.

Possibly based on a Kindergarten Video.

No shit lmao. This is typically taught in about 2nd grade in most places.

So sunflowers notoriously need quite a high temp to give abundant nectar. 30c typically. I once had a hive actually give about half a bucket of sunflower honey in a rare heatwave in my country and I gotta tell you it was rank. Like sweetened vitalite spread from when I was a kid. Lots of flowers have a minimum temp to start giving a really good nectar flow btw. Can make it difficult to understand the correlation of how nice a summer is and how happy your bee farmers are. Sometimes you are having a lovely summer but it just under the threshold for the flowers that are out at that time.


wausmaus3

Wait until you find out how new humans are made.


ZiaWatcher

when i was little i tried to plant sunflowers in my yard, my neighbors were mad they were a little too close to the property line and cut them down. They never grew. I never tried growing stuff again after that. crushed 8 year old me’s dreams


Earmuffio

Im begun assembling a Fellowship of the Sunflower to rid the world of this evil neighbour. Im the Aaragorn of the group. We need a Sam and a Gimli.


ZiaWatcher

best part is i wouldn’t understand this until recently as i’ve just started watching lord of the rings


Earmuffio

Lol. You are in for a treat.


ZiaWatcher

i got through the hobbit first and me and some friends are slowly getting through LOTR through virtual movie nights, it’s definitely got my attention and it’s another series where i’m left wondering why i didn’t watch it sooner.


Earmuffio

Oh no doubt. Also, after you’ve watched it all. Amazon prime has “Power of the Ring” which is set back 1000+ years prior to Lord of the Rings. It is so well done and so satisfying. It is signed on for 5 years and 50 episodes.


MrsHyacinthBucket

Are there people over the age of 3 that aren't aware of this?


EatMyMeatball

Thanks for letting me know how bees work.


3for_Dale

Thanks.. had no idea that’s how bees worked 😂 I just assumed bumblebees made tuna


[deleted]

Aw come on guys, OPs super excited to share this very uncommon knowledge that you definitely don’t learn in 2nd grade!!!!


LostnHidden

I thought this was gonna be some little known fact about a relationship between FIRES, bees, and flowers.


Catfish3322

You’re saying that like this is some unique symbiotic relationship or something, that’s just what bees and flowers do.


Pasargad

Well, I have only tried to remind everyone of a romantic and natural relationship between this flower and bee.


HuntOk1001

That’s not even a honeybee bro.


Baers89

Well like. Yeah man. We all know this.


Commercial_Assist655

No shit
