    Is it possible to train bees? Asking for a friend who is very interested in bee training.

      No, but maybe we could encourage the Orcas.

        They already like to have fun by attacking sailboats. Orcas are comrades!

        Bit hard to swallow… you’d be guaranteed to choke to death though.

          Or, hear me out. Genetically modified bonsai orcas.

          I’m assuming the biohacking community can get on that.

      I’ve heard that the smell of a banana makes bees go crazy and they go into attack mode. You didn’t hear that me…🐝

          “Isoamyl acetate is released by a honey bee’s sting apparatus where it serves as a pheromone beacon to attract other bees and provoke them to sting.[8]”

          That’s crazy!
