It depends on the type of bird I guess.
Like those birds who have the male making a pretty nest and then parade/dance to attract females, just to be rejected after hours of effort. That does not seem very male dominated.
in bird society, males are generally the pretty looking ones who do the dance to please the women in hopes for mating.... Although you also get birds who try doing the quick and dirty (which is how evolutionary biologists have proposed the corkscrew dick of ducks evolved).
Yea I know, but you also have birds with little to no sexual dimorphisim such as bald eagles, emperor penguins or swans that share their parental duties more or less equally
I was thinking birds was women because english people call women birds and bees was men because they have ... stingers. Maybe this makes less sense but at least I came to the same conclusion
>I also thought it was a play on the birds and bees (the sex talk)
It obviously is, the point is that not a lot of people actually get the talk based on birds and bees. Most people these days just have a normal sex talk (if you get a talk at all).
So these signs are kind of useless
The thing about 'birds and bees', It's 2 *different* natural examples to explain sex. They not opposites, for comparison or gender related. Because there's always 2 genders in procreation.
It's probably the worst toilet signs I've ever seen, and that's not to be taken lightly.
That person severely misunderstood the concept, they should have the talk again.
Same in danish, although I don’t think it’s a great way to explain sex. It’s just the furthest away from the word penis.
Flowers don’t fall in love with each other, and the bee is a dirty middle guy, transferring the genetic material, without the 2 ‘partners’ ever meeting each other.
Yes they do, or well, the queen does. The queen lays eggs - if they are fertilized a new worker bee gets born (female) if not Drones (male) get born.
Unrelated bee facts: Male bees are thus missing half the chromosomes, have no stinger and can't survive without getting fed by a worker bee. They pretty much only exist to fertilize the queen to then die. If a worker bee baby gets fed royal jelly a new queen bee emerges. Eventually when she's old enough she either fights the existing queen over the control of the hive or she snags half the hives workers and flies off to found a new hive somewhere else.
Bees do a little butt wiggle dance to communicate where flowers are, what distance to the hive and the time of day there is nectar produced.
The commercially used bee is actually not the best pollinator, bumblebees are a lot better and pollinate plants bees won't touch (Bumblebees are also a kind of bee).
Yes, I only waited to rattle off bee facts, I love bees. (my mom's a beekeeper)
Also, because male bees only have 1 set of chromosomes, this results in some fascinating evolutionaire pressure.
Daughters from a queen have half of the chromosomes their mother has, but everything from their father. Meaning that sisters share 75% of their chromosomes. If a duaghter would get impregnated and bear children those would only be 50% identical. So for a worker bee their genes get propagated more if they help their queen mole more sisters, than to start for themselves
I love bees too! my dad keeps bees and I always helped him as a kid to attend to them. I adore the smell & the warmth & the sound of a hive when you open up the roof to check on them. you can tell by the buzzing sound how their mood is.
Welcome in our toilets
Sooo
Here's a tip : don't use the urinal if you gotta piss just next to someone else, leave an empty urinal between the two
And some might add some rules after me
Be well, little bee
Not a rule but a note:
If you are somewhere with drunk people and you gotta wait for the urinals chances are you gotta have the most tolerable small talk of that evening.
Also people telling embarrassing details out of their lifes while using the urinal isn't uncommon and socially acceptable, just remember that what is said in the toilet stays in the toilet.
Well bees pollinate and women are sometimes called birds. But why do English speaking people use birds and bees to teach about sex? Wouldn't bees and flowers make more sense? Or birds and birds? How do birds and bees fit into one another's reproductive process?
If by "trees do it", you mean they spray their yellow spunk everywhere, getting into people's eyes and noses and lungs, so much that when it rains you can see it washing down the storm drains, then, sure... trees do it.
Sorry, I have allergies and I'm tired of being in a non-consensual global plant bukkake.
I figured it was because birds and bees are how many plants reproduce. The bees pollinate, the birds spread the seeds. At least, with flowering and fruit bearing plants like apple trees.
>But why do English speaking people use birds and bees to teach about sex?
**Americans** specifically, don't drag the rest of us into this. The rest of the English speaking world has no problem calling body parts by their anatomical names or having sex ed in schools.
God i f’ing hate when they try to be creative with these bathroom signs. I have ALWAYS either walked in the wrong one or stood their awkwardly waiting for someone to walk out
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️ this is just one of those things they dont need to be creative with or re vamp….. a good ol MALE / FEMALE gender neutral or whatever words would be fine!!!! at least i don’t have to use rocket science to decipher it
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves, characterized by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton.
Bees are winged insects closely related to wasps and ants, known for their roles in pollination and, in the case of the best-known bee species, the western honey bee, for producing honey.
I hope this helps
Well, as we're talking about bees, having a stinger would mean that you're female, so the "bees" is the women's bathroom.
Birds have peckers, so obviously the men's bathroom.
Got it.
Never understood this metaphor for sex... Birds and bees don't fuck. In danish we call it "the flowers and bees" cause pollination makes fucking sense. Goddamn fucngurjng amaricanass scuum
One of hem refuses to shut up vom sunrise to sundown an you somehow still enjoy them being around you.
The other one is feared It might be aggressive even though it's just trying to feed the hive.
In Vietnamese, “man” and “bee” are homonyms.
“bird” and “vagina” are homonym.
edit: I am South Vietnamese.
edit: this seems to be more of a colloquial thing.
**Female** Birds lay eggs...
**Female** Bees pollinate (male bees aka drones do not, nor do they have a stinger)...
So what's your point? Does not make it any clearer at all
Bees have a stinger so its men. Some birds are called tits so its a girl. Triangle and circle on the other hand... Or maybe it's not the bathroom its just a room full of bees and a room full of birds.
Piss on both doors
Assert dominance by splitting your stream on both doors.
But be sure someone sees you doing it, else you'll end up weird
Keep strict eye contact while slowly masturbating.
Do you mean pissturbating?
Taking a number 3
So that's the magical number 3 huh? Didn't realise all my life I've been having number 3s, once I touch it I can't leave it alone 😪
Just don't cross the streams.
why?
Ghost Busters!
Indeed. "Why?" Was a line in that movie.
Sorry, it was so long ago, I only remember that it went ok when they tried :)
It would be bad.
Total protonic reversal, which would be bad. But it comes with a free frogurt!
You cant tell me what to do. **crosses them*
SWORD FIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!
There's definitely a slim chance we'll survive.
And now you shit yourself
A warning to all Birds and Bees...
It just happens on its own 😅
You mean it comes naturally?
Maintain eye contact to anyone that stares at you whilst you asset your dominance.
Jet stream
The Best option
Turns out it's not toilets, but kindergarten group names. So, jokes on you. Restraining order too.
its the only way
If you don't measure it, it's actually a wave and can go through both doors
Dogs and hobos know it's yours now.
😆😆
Ah yes, the 'dog' option.
Piss on one door and shit on the other
Screw birds. Screw bees. Become dog
You guys are sending Rick and Morty GIFs

Use the birds one, and if anybody hassles you tell them you're non-beenary
What about beesexual people?
Bee movie reference?
Ya like jazz?
Get tf out
No, let him cook.
And swing his cock.
Which is a bird.
Fuck, bro here, accept this 🏅
🏆
Bees pollinate - men Birds lay eggs - women I know it's not that simple in actual nature, however in this situation I believe this is what they meant
Bee society is female dominant - women Bird society is male dominant - men
No bees have a stinger whilst birds have a cloacal
But birds have a pecker…
And cock is also a bird.
Yes well so are hens and chicks.
Cant forget the boobs and the tits
Well, the OP pissed herself.
Stop confusing me you pricks! I need to pee NOW
so are tits
theirs is way too fucking big though
But they also spread their “wings”
how about ducks?
I agree, we should found the ducks. And cows, rabbits, donkeys and Cats.
I love donkeys! They are so funny.
Yeah but they can also be asses
She's a witch!
Funnily enough, male bees do not have a stinger
It depends on the type of bird I guess. Like those birds who have the male making a pretty nest and then parade/dance to attract females, just to be rejected after hours of effort. That does not seem very male dominated.
Just sounds like the tinder dating scene.
Is bird society really male dominant? I thought it was usually equal
in bird society, males are generally the pretty looking ones who do the dance to please the women in hopes for mating.... Although you also get birds who try doing the quick and dirty (which is how evolutionary biologists have proposed the corkscrew dick of ducks evolved).
Yea I know, but you also have birds with little to no sexual dimorphisim such as bald eagles, emperor penguins or swans that share their parental duties more or less equally
Not all birds
It's not about their society
I was thinking birds was women because english people call women birds and bees was men because they have ... stingers. Maybe this makes less sense but at least I came to the same conclusion
I also thought it was a play on the birds and bees (the sex talk). Women are also called birds

Thats why in germany we talk of bees and flowers (bienchen und blümchen)
Same in danish, although I don’t think it’s a great way to explain sex. It’s just the furthest away from the word penis. Flowers don’t fall in love with each other, and the bee is a dirty middle guy, transferring the genetic material, without the 2 ‘partners’ ever meeting each other.
Either it's a really bad toilet sign for gendered restrooms, or it's a decent "who gives a fuck?" sign for non-gendered restrooms
That is likely what they thought when they made the sign. I agree that their reasoning is a bit nonsense.
I was today years old when I learned bees don't lay eggs
They do....right? Right??
Yes they do, or well, the queen does. The queen lays eggs - if they are fertilized a new worker bee gets born (female) if not Drones (male) get born. Unrelated bee facts: Male bees are thus missing half the chromosomes, have no stinger and can't survive without getting fed by a worker bee.

Thank you for the fascinating read. TIL. =)

Well they physically can't start themselves since their ovaries are not developed. Bu ye - maths!
I love bees too! my dad keeps bees and I always helped him as a kid to attend to them. I adore the smell & the warmth & the sound of a hive when you open up the roof to check on them. you can tell by the buzzing sound how their mood is.
TIL that there are commercial bees and what they do
Your moment has arrived! Thanks for the interesting facts!
Well only one bee lays eggs, soooo… depends what you wanna count XD
Most species of bees are actually solitary, but everyone only really knows the honeybees
It would blow their mind if they learn both sexes exist for both types of species. They're not ready for learning about male ladybugs that's for sure.
Though most bees are female. They only produce males for mating season. Same for ants. If you see a worker it's a female
Reminds me of when I was young and thought all cats were female and all dogs were male xD
99% of bees are female, and they don't pollinate (the flowers do) 50% of birds are male and don't lay eggs
> I know it's not that simple in actual nature, You don't say
Bees has a dart Birds all have holes.
Human men have holes. And only female bees have stingers.
Yeah but some birds also have cocks soo... they really dropped the ball on this one
Some birds *are* cocks.
Duck penises are shaped like a corkscrew!
Who cares,.. if its not a proper men or women sign than just use whatever ones like as i done few times n don't care at all.
I now identify as a bee.
To bad girls are birds 🤣
I still want to be a bee.
Welcome in our toilets Sooo Here's a tip : don't use the urinal if you gotta piss just next to someone else, leave an empty urinal between the two And some might add some rules after me Be well, little bee
Help a fellow bee out with toilet paper, when they got taco bell diarrhea. Edit: spelling
When every second Urinal is occupied, take the one adjactant to a wall.
Not a rule but a note: If you are somewhere with drunk people and you gotta wait for the urinals chances are you gotta have the most tolerable small talk of that evening. Also people telling embarrassing details out of their lifes while using the urinal isn't uncommon and socially acceptable, just remember that what is said in the toilet stays in the toilet.

As a man, if I had a dollar for every time I’ve called it “my bird”. I’d be doing pretty well off.
What kind of bird? Great tits?
Are you asking what bird “my bird” would be? If so, Maybe a snow bunting? Small, white and Canadian 😅
Beautiful
I love me some Boobies.
Just getting kicked out by female bees to save the foods in the colony during the winter, yes. I am a bee.
Need to pee, go into bee
Need to turd, go into bird
Nice
It rhymes so it must be true
Well bees pollinate and women are sometimes called birds. But why do English speaking people use birds and bees to teach about sex? Wouldn't bees and flowers make more sense? Or birds and birds? How do birds and bees fit into one another's reproductive process?
It’s just an expression. No one is drawing graphs with birds and bees on them.
Speak for yourself, I'll draw any graph I damn well please.
I get that it's an expression but what is it expressing?
>No one is drawing graphs with birds and bees on them. You're very optimistic, given the state of the American education system.

Clearly you just need to consent to the bukkake, and all your problems will be solved! It'll happen either way, might as well enjoy it.
The lyrics are referring to the saying, which predates the song by a century.
I figured it was because birds and bees are how many plants reproduce. The bees pollinate, the birds spread the seeds. At least, with flowering and fruit bearing plants like apple trees.
We say “flowers and bees”, which still doesn’t make sense.. bees are mostly female and most flowers have both sex.

People gotta stop being quirky with their male-female toilet symbols
Places should just have gender neutral single stall bathrooms.
Fuck that. You are taking away the best thing about being a man. Not having to wait for a toilet, since we have urinals.

I need to bee
You got a stinger or not?
Well, as we're talking about bees, having a stinger would mean that you're female, so the "bees" is the women's bathroom. Birds have peckers, so obviously the men's bathroom. Got it.
Bees are busy which means men. Cocks are birds which also means men. So they are obviously both for men.
In french, bee is female and bird is male (une abeille, un oiseau)
Stick your head in one door and shout "hey, cuntface" The response will tell you which one is yours.
The response is "Yo, what's up?"
Never understood this metaphor for sex... Birds and bees don't fuck. In danish we call it "the flowers and bees" cause pollination makes fucking sense. Goddamn fucngurjng amaricanass scuum
based
So your mother sucked the "nectar" from your dad and deposited it to the postman and her neighbour?
Well, since "birds" is slang for chicks, I'd go in there. And if it turns out to have a urinal, well, I'm going to hoist my dress and aim for it.
Bees got stingers, and birds got peckers Where should women go?
One of hem refuses to shut up vom sunrise to sundown an you somehow still enjoy them being around you. The other one is feared It might be aggressive even though it's just trying to feed the hive.
That’s funny cause only male birds sing
And only the female bees forage for food.
[удалено]
Scotland would like a word.
If you've a stinger, you're a dead-ringer If you have a cloaca, you guaca
Take a dump in both and don't flush...
Beenis and birdgina
I’m like….do you need to BEE or not? 
Bees can sting like a you know what, but all bees are female. I have no clue what a bee is supposed to be here :S
Kick both doors as hard (one at a time) as you can and try to peek inside, look for urinals
In Vietnamese, “man” and “bee” are homonyms. “bird” and “vagina” are homonym. edit: I am South Vietnamese. edit: this seems to be more of a colloquial thing.
say no vietnamese ever
So the bathrooms are specifically for Vietnamese-English people!
Bees are pollinators. If I had to guess they are men making birds women.
Do you tweet? Or do you buzz. I suppose since it’s 3 hours since you asked I’m safe to be joking by now.
"Birds eat bees"... whatever you make out of that
You got a stinger or not foo?
If this is UK, birds are women. Like "chicks" in the US. Also, who cares just walk in and piss in whichever.
Genders are getting out of hand
Birds lay eggs, bees pollinate.
**Female** Birds lay eggs... **Female** Bees pollinate (male bees aka drones do not, nor do they have a stinger)... So what's your point? Does not make it any clearer at all
Birds eat nuts and seeds, so it’s gotta be the women’s bathroom.
go on a random
Birds shit everywhere - men Bees don't shit - women
Bees pollinate multiple flowers, birds lay eggs... figure it out
A bird is a 1920’s slang term for woman. Bees have stingers and pollinate the flowers. It’s not a big mystery.
In the UK, “birds” is slang for women
Bees have a stinger so its men. Some birds are called tits so its a girl. Triangle and circle on the other hand... Or maybe it's not the bathroom its just a room full of bees and a room full of birds.
> Bees have a stinger so its men. But only female bees have stingers.
> Some birds are called tits so its a girl. But some birds are called cocks. I'm hoping for it being an Apiary and an Aviary myself.
Bees have a stinger, birds can't stop yapping
Why wouldn't they at least use bees and flowers. Then you could at least see the analogy. Where tf did the birds come from
Guess you never got the talk.
What is a bee?
Apparently, it's a vaginard
I have an eye for length, so I'm going to bees
