Giant Honeybees use a collective defense known as “shimmering” to deter wasps and other predators, whereby hundreds of individual bees flip their abdomens upwards in a coordinated wave-like pattern.

I mean..I’m not messing with em.
Bees together strong
It’s like they have a hivemind or something.
They bee tripping
TIL that wasps and other predators are also deterred by stuff that is creepy as fuck just like I am.Â
I can see why that’s work on predators, it worked on me
Bees are amazing!
They don’t have a nest?

I’m already halfway down the highway at this point so i guess its worked on me

Yet another example of non-local consciousness
Made my day. Thank you
How are they able to be in such impeccable sync?
Just the simulation rendering
Bees in the future doing the shimmering
So they’re… basically twerking 🤔😅? Their abdomen is their butt thing, no?
