Just further demonstrates, that bees are hardworking contributers to society, while wasps are violent scum.

The exploiter mindset at work, smh, bees are good because you can steal their honey, wasps are bad for defending themselves!

Yeah i actually had the same thought while writing the comment, but wanted to commit to the bit.
“hardworking contributors to society” automatically makes me feel yucky. usually the kind of people that uses words like that seriously, are the people profiting the most from capitalism.
From a natural point of view (without humans in the picture), bees are probably better at cooperation than wasps, which would make them better at “society” but im no biologist or philosopher so meh.

Bees polinate, most wasps don’t. Working in sympathy doesn’t equate exploitation.

Bees are more usefull for us, not for the nature. Wasp also are hardworking animals (ants belong to the same family), but their use in the nature is different, not for pollination, but same as other predators, but for the population balance of other species among others.

Aren’t those honey bees (or one of the other hive-dwelling bees) though? Bumble bees are the big round boys (and are even more bumbling than these ones!)
Works on vanilla Lemmy. :)

Huh, I would have thought the direct opposite of this meme. Switch the bees.

I think it describes the person imo. Masons(profession), carpenters are useful jobs that help society, and honey is a food source so again a productive addition. Bumble is kinda cute but is dopey, so I’ll give them that. However the wasps are all “chad” in this person’s eyes as they are killers. Killers have a limited place, which is usually killing other killers. Still, a lot of the time killers add a whole ton of detriment as well. They really shouldn’t be idiolized.

Well, you chose the boring bees. The Meliponini stingless bees have much cooler names.

Carpenter bees are definitely boring
