Yes, who needs honey when you've got maple syrup.

And bees come in the door and spend all day going up and down the window trying to get out again, until they eventually collapse from exhaustion...How clever is that?

I've never had a duck come in the door and do the same...Though I sometimes have a Chinese one sizzling in plum sauce.

Though for sure the stripy outfits are cool...Bees must be closely related to zebras and tigers...Buzzing is similarly cool...Though flapping their wings 230 times per second is ridiculously energy inefficient.

Yes, that is an established fact.

They produce honey from vegetable matter without the need for an electrical supply.

Humans should pay more attention.

Mmmmm

Mashed bees, doesn't sound sweet to me.

Would probably need a lot of sugar...And sieving to filter out the legs and wings and other bitty stuff.

You don’t see very often Apiculturist turn to duck farming to produce duck bees.
