A cartoon illustration of a father bird and mother bee sitting down to talk to their mixed bird-bee child. Caption reads "Son, your mother and I feel you're ready to have the 'talk'."
I've always wondered about the etymology of that phrase.
In German it‘s bees and flowers which makes more sense
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_birds_and_the_bees May not clear much up, but it’s a start for me and yet another rabbit hole. So I thank you for that.
The birds and the bees are both males. They pollinate flowers, which would be the females in the analogy.
Bees have a haplo-diploid sex determinism and birds work with ZW sex chromosomes.
I don't get it either.
Fun fact once in every birds life they will eat a bee then feel ill and never do it again
"Why did I eat this bee instead of fucking it?"
Is this about sex, or is it because he's a hermaphrodite?
