For those wondering, this appears to be true. Most sites that say it all reference the same person, whose study doesn't seem very scientific, but I found this much more controlled study that did indeed replicate the conclusions.

LMAO redditors unironically defending slavery when it’s done by non-whites. Classic reddit.

Time to go watch RRR again lol.

Oh.... Oh....

Why the hell does that post focus so much on the empathetic healing crap? I feel like the child slave is the real issue here

Didn't care. If they got stingers and live too close to me, they are getting squished or poisoned without mercy.

bro you basically have to pinch a bee to get it to sting you, they're the insect equivalent of sheep.

Not in my experience.

There have been so many yellow jackets and wasps that used to live in front of this house, and they tended to dive bomb anyone headed between the driveway and front door.

That and I got caught up in a swarm when a friend of mine stepped on a yellow jacket best when we were all about 7 or 8. I just happened to be nearby and got stung 16 times. My younger brother got hit at least 18 (they list count at that point) and he needed an epi for even though without a known allergy to bee stings. Maybe after almost 20 songs you get symptoms anyway.

Either way, I've never forgiven bees since that day and I never will. I'm not out hunting them down or anything, but if I encounter them, and it's somewhere I have regular need to go, they're getting evicted without warning with prejudice. And I will laugh while they're dying.
