>“The honey bees most likely came from a much larger bee hive somewhere else on base,” said Chief Master Sergeant Gregg Allen, 192nd Maintenance Group Quality Assurance chief, who also happens to be a bee keeper. “Bee hives are constantly growing and they eventually become overcrowded. Around springtime, the bees will make a new queen, scout for a new location and take half of the hive with them to that location.”
>Westrich suspected that the swarm of bees were on their way to a new location to build a hive for their queen. Queen bees typically fly with eggs to lay at the new hive and do not eat for up to 10 days before leaving to start a new colony. As a result, the queen is often malnourished for the journey. Westrich believes she landed on the F-22 to rest. Honey bees do not leave the queen, so they swarmed around the F-22 and eventually landed there.

>According to Chiarantona “[Westrich] said that one out of two things could have happened, the queen would have rested and gained energy and the swarm would’ve left in the morning, or they would have decided that the jet engine would be a great place to build a hive.”
>Westrich was able to safely relocate the colony to a local beer producer where they will maintain the honey bee colony and use the honey for their production facility.
>“Every bee is important to our food source; lots of things would die without bees,” said Baskin. “Most of our crops depend on bees, and our bees need to pollinate. This is why I knew we needed to save them instead of [exterminate] them.”

you don't need to be a bee keepr to know it if you have read virgil's georgics in the school. that's what we get for losing the classical education, instead of knowing the stuff yourself you need to call for the air base entomologist or for sergeant bee keeper if your base is too small for its own entomologist

But I'm a scrub and don't have a car.

Cool story.

It's nice that they didn't kill the bees, and instead got a bee keeper to safely remove them.

They honeybee population is already low, we need every bee we can save.

(I hope I can become a beekeeper someday, when I have a house with a lot of land.)

Bees are total bros. Outside of maybe making a hive where they shouldn't, they'll never fuck with you if you don't fuck with them. Those big swarms you see are when a successful colony splits roughly in half and half try to head out and make a new home. They fly for a while, land somewhere, rest a bit, and either take off again or set up shop. Like, you could likely stand right next to these big swarms and they wouldn't fuck with you unless you did something stupid. They're just minding their own business, eating pollen and vomiting honey.

Wasps are 50/50. They murder the fuck out of other bugs, but will occasionally just try to fuck you up for no good reason at all.

Yellowjackets and hornets are assholes. Fuck them.

There are wasps outside my house. Literally right next to the door. Along with a spider, they protect my house from other bugs. Only one time have they ever attacked me and it was a solitary one who got into my shirt whilst I was smoking outside, and an hour or so later I get it panicked and either bit or stung me when I was in the kitchen doing something.

Before my dog had to be put down she saw a wasp on some deck furniture and went over to sniff it. Her nose was bumping into it and everything and it didn't seem like the wasp cared as it just took the sniffing and was just relaxing.

Hell, I let a wasp outside after it was trying to get out of the house because it went in for some reason. I noticed it and thought it was on the outside, but on closer inspection it was inside. I opened the door, said "out," and it flew off.
