Megan Gray4 said:A sweet little honeybee tale inspired by Game of Thrones

Without bees, we’d be in big trouble trying to eat fruit because these tiny insects are responsible for pollinating most crops. We wouldn't even have honey if it weren't for hardworking worker bees that have been making it for about 150 million years. An average bee produces roughly 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime, and during a single summer, one bee will visit anywhere from 50 to 100 flowers. :
In a kingdom called the basket, a worker bee starts life as a fertilized egg from her highness, the Queen Mother. Workers don't have developed reproductive organs since they aren't fed properly, but inside their tiny sesame-seed-sized brains, they have amazing learning and memory skills. It works like this:
Aged 1 to 2 days: They spend their time cleaning up the palace, starting with the room where they were born. :metl
Aged 3 to 5 days: They feed the older princesses.
Aged 6 to 11 days: They feed the younger princesses.
Aged 12 to 17 days: They make wax, build honey pots, carry food, and handle funeral duties. :Po
Aged 18 to 21 days: They guard the entrance to the basket, protecting it from intruders. :zma
Aged 22 days until death (about 40–45 days total): They collect nectar, pollen, and water, and handle pollination...
Every single bee in the colony has a unique scent so everyone can recognize them, and they communicate through a royal "honey dance" that's famous throughout the entire basket kingdom. ;rock
It's worth noting that drones come from unfertilized eggs. These guys don't work and don't even have stingers; their only job is to woo the Queen Mother. :romo: The peak of their flirting is fertilizing the Queen, and then their lives are basically over right after that moment of glory.
Things get intense at the throne when an old Queen dies or when the kingdom gets too crowded and it's time to go out and start new colonies. Interestingly, the Queen Mother then lays fertilized eggs in twenty wax "royal" cradles. Young bees feed the princesses a super rich, creamy food, while the Mother Queen stays on a diet because soon—once the first princess grows enough and puts on her little wax dress—the Mother leaves the kingdom along with her court ladies, her entourage, and a scouting party already prepping a new hexagonal empire. The entrance for the Queen is quite slim, so she has to really work on her figure to squeeze out of the old palace and into the new one. The princess in the wax dress leaves her cradle and has to play a brutal game of thrones. If she wants to be Queen, she faces a choice: either kill off the other princesses still in their cradles, or take a small swarm of followers and head out to start a new colony. If she chooses to leave, the next princess has to make that same choice... and it keeps going until someone decides to stay and wipe out all the other potential queens.

Epilogue: Why do bees have a Queen?
If they had a government and ministers, there wouldn't be any honey left; every kingdom would end up getting robbed blind..

Better if I don't ruin anything🤣

I read that without even blinking.🎉

driftingmarlin44 said:When it comes to beekeeping, I’ve got three buddies in my circle—let's call them X, Y, and Z. Every single time I step out to do anything, one bee always shows up. But it's never clear whose it is. So, I'll call X and say, "Hey, a stray bee just landed near me, come grab it before something happens to it." Then he goes, "Man, that's not mine, it belongs to Y." So I call Y. "Here, there's a bee right by me." He snaps back, "Dammit, that's not mine either, it's from X." And when I ask how it can be from X if he swore it was yours, he says, "If it's not mine, it's gotta be Z's." Honestly, I don't even bother calling Z anymore because his wife loses her mind and starts screaming about how that crazy guy is calling again over some damn bee.
People always say the grass is greener on the other side. Honestly, since I didn't grow up in some quiet little suburb, it looks to me like we've got way too many queens crammed into one tiny backyard around here. Personally, I don't care about anyone else's garden. I’m not interested in what their queens are doing. They should probably come check out ours first before they start talking.

🤣

Awesome.👍How am I supposed to vote for just one story when there are three I actually like? 🕺

It’s just plain wrong.😢

Megan Gray4 said:Rachel Palmer56, what even is this challenge application?!
😁

Exactly!!!!
Do you guys remember which politicians were sitting in the front row? Mom and Dad definitely do.

Nah.😬
We're waiting on you. 👋

driftingmarlin44 said:Man, listen to these fans from our neighboring friendly little town over in the Midwest...

🤣
Come on, you're alright too. 🙂

hiddenmarlin14 said:You always have to be so dramatic about everything. I already said he wasn't involved in politics back then; I didn't say he hadn't even been born yet. 😵 I'm talking to you in German. 😵

🤣

Chloe Cooper10 said:What's up? 🥳 Honestly, she’s pretty enough that people just eat up whatever nonsense she posts. They'll cheer for her even when she's talking total garbage. As for me, I don't even have that kind of credit.🕺

I'm just talking nonsense.🙂🤣

Your eyes are like the Pacific Ocean.🙂

Your hair is top-tier. Seriously.🙂

Chloe Cooper10 said:Forget the professor. When you drop something in those challenges, you just absolutely crush it. 🙂 You’re actually killing it at that. 🙂

Signature
🙂

So, I'm expecting yours any minute now🙂

Let's see if you can actually outdo Napya😳

🤣

Thanks, thanks😍

Anyone want to congratulate Duke?😳

hiddenmarlin14 said:Masks. Masks! Masks?
You guys have lost your minds.
This whole thing isn't even worth the hype,
this whole pandemic mess.
Sports and concerts are dead,
bars are shut down,
school is all online,
and half the kids are just sleeping through their webcams.
It’s just one giant masquerade ball everywhere you look.
The clowns at the CDC are putting on their daily show,
dropping new numbers every day like they’re playing the lottery,
while everyone else stays quiet behind their paper masks.
People are just waiting patiently to get poked with those needles,
hoping they can dodge the sickness,
hoping things just settle down,
hoping they'll get some relief,
and finally get back to going out to parties like normal.

Ladies and gentlemen, what an unforgettable performance.
This is a total masquerade.
A puppet show, a theater of marionettes.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience being part of this dance, watching it live from the stage,
all while staying home without having to buy a ticket.

So be real actors—wear your masks convincingly.
Walk onto that stage with confidence.
Make the floorboards shake.

This is one massive, unprecedented embarrassment.
No need to be nervous.
Don't worry, nobody's paying you a salary anyway.
Your acting isn't worth a dime regardless.

Masks! Masks! Masks!
Let the stage shake!
Let everyone who hasn't lost it yet go absolutely wild.
Let this masquerade explode in pure chaos!

🙂

Period. You nailed it, queen.🙏👍🤣

Try digging through this thread to find more info.

You'll probably find everything you need there, but feel free to ask questions too.

Good luck!

Honestly, I'm into the idea. The investment isn't huge, and the payoff is solid long-term.👍

I'm about fifty grand short, so I asked if they could fix my balance too, but they just totally ignored me. I wouldn't even have brought it up if I hadn't seen it was actually possible, but now I'm stuck dealing with this mess.

Turns out Maria Barnes is running things like "my stuff, my shop, I'll give it to whoever I feel like."🤷🙂

Jacob Williams said:The Suzana Vugrinec case kept popping up while I was digging into Ana-Marija Braim.

It’s wild how much info is out there about that one, but when it comes to Braim, there's basically nothing.

🙏

That's it!

That's the case that caught my eye; I just needed her name so I could search for it on Google.

Not that it matters much. I've got enough info now and some sources to dig deeper. Thanks a ton.

Thanks for the help, everyone. Found what I was looking for. Cheers to everyone here, especially Patrick Thomas29.

Glad I could help.
The whole topic is pretty heavy, just like the case itself.

Best,👋

Is there any way to get my post count restored? I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me out 🙂

To be honest, I won't give up what's mine, and I'm not taking what isn't 😳 🤣

Finally, after all this time, you actually decided to drop ☕🤣your first post🙂
.
Seriously though, it’s not even about people scraping posts. It’s just wild that absolutely nobody—and I mean nobody—bothered to step up and explain what's actually going on and why.

Even if it was just a quick heads-up or something, I think the community deserved a post explaining the situation. But hey, if they don't want it, let them think whatever they want.

Jacob Williams said:Hey everyone.

Hey guys—mods, super-mods, admins—I could really use some help finding an old thread about a missing cop.

The thread was posted on Reddit a few years back, but I can't remember where exactly. It was about this young, ambitious officer who just vanished without a trace. I was in a rush when I first saw it so I just skimmed through, but it really stuck with me. I ended up away from the site for a while, so I forgot all about it and never bookmarked it.

From what I recall, she was investigating white-collar crime. I don't remember the year she went missing, but I think her name was Ann or Andrea.

The thread didn't have many posts and for some reason, it never really took off like other threads usually do. I’d really appreciate any help—even just a link to the thread or some news articles. I've tried searching everywhere myself but I'm coming up empty.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Since this section is for questions, info, and appeals, I figured posting here would give it more eyes. Hope this doesn't break any rules. Thanks!

It might be Ana-Marija Braim. I couldn't find the actual thread on Reddit though. Just guessing based on the names you mentioned.

Bomb and Brenda Green62, just stay strong 👍

If we list all the gas stations🕺

Not really😬

I like things just the way they are. We can just sit back and count our money in peace😬
