Bees have a stinger, and "bird" has been a slang term for a woman (like, what, 1920-1950s?).
Regards, I agree that's needlessly vague, and just about to the point of useless.
The only bees with stingers are the female ones, though.
Fine, Bs represent bra size so that's the women's room, and a cock is a bird, so that's the men's room.
Any way you slice it, these signs don't help.
Birds have peckers
Wow, how did I miss that??
Wtf
Alternate comment: I love how you need to internalize 100 years of sexism before you can relieve yourself
Although almost all bees you actually ever see are female
You're using logic in a situation where someone has to pee badly.

Find a member of staff and ask where the "human bathrooms" are. Don't let them leave until they explain. Bonus points if you piss your pants while they are trying to explain.
"Excuse me sir/madam, I am looking for the human bathroom as I need to pour out some liquid from inside of my body through my urethra, something we humans normally do."

Slang for women is “chicks” and a bit more archaic, “birds” too.
Bees have a…stinger? Dunno about that one.
Aren't most bees female though?
They are. Hence confusion with the signage.

Just look for the one with a line (queue) outside.
Or be fair and pee half in each.
Or be chaotic and scrawl "Mammals" on the wall and pee under that.
If you carry and deposit pollen - use the Bees, if you are laying eggs - use the Birds, else use the floor.

Bees for pees, birds for tuds.
Can't remember who originally said that but it had me creasing.

I seriously don't know what the hell the "Birds and the bees" even refers to beyond an olde movie cliche.

OP' was actually meant to take a left, but instead got lost in the back corridors of the local zoo. Regardless of the which door they chose, it ended with a senior first aid officer and a school group being traumatised.

Women are Bees. Men are Birds. Arrhenotoky OP.
Of the 60,000 bees in a hive, almost 99% of them are female! Female honey bees, or worker bees, make all of the decisions in the hive and do all of the work. There are a couple hundred male bees in a hive, but they don't do much but sit around and eat food.
Thats a little to common sense for the average American.
I'd wager bees are boys, for bathroom purposes, cause boys have a "stinger"
Maybe this isn't in America.
That said, if it was in the UK, 'birds' would be for women, so the result would be the same.

I'm going in and committing to whatever I find inside.
Neither unless your a bee or a bird.
