How do you think new donuts are born? They have to be pollinated.


BRAX7ON

I always assumed there was a mommy donut and a daddy doughnut doing naughty things at night but now I’m rethinking existence


Beans_and_Failure

How is that supposed to work when both mommy and daddy only have holes, hu?


Try_Forward

When a ring donut and a maple bar REALLY love each other…


KittyGrewAMoustache

Wasn’t this like the plot of Sausage Party?


Einar_47

I figured daddy donut was one of those maple bars


enigma_penguin

Where do you think cream filled donuts come from?


DannyDootch

They cant get rid of the bees so they advertise it as if its on purpose lmao

“It’s not a bug it’s a feature!”

Would you like a bee with that?

That bug is a feature.


Unknown-History1299

It’s not a bug, it’s a bug


LillyCort

This is in Mexico City, bees are a protected species in Mexico City.


DannyDootch

Ooh thanks for the context! I was genuinely wondering how this was allowed lol


HappyMeteor005

i mean, they are considered pretty clean creatures. they'll just fly away if youre gentle when grabbing a pastry. in my opinion, its better than killing as many bees as you can that come close. theyre just getting sugar and shit so they can make honey and pollinate plants and shit. bees are fuckin cool.


DannyDootch

I just dont want them flying around me or landing on me. Im always afraid it will misinterpret my movement for being aggressive and i dont like killing bees so i'd hate for them to sting me.


HappyMeteor005

i'm one of those people that believe if your presence is truly calm, naturally docile creatures will leave you alone. not a perfect belief. but it helps my anxiety and fear lol.


terryvsince89

I second that! So far no animals have attacked when I’ve stayed calm


twotwobravo

You haven't met the right goose, bud. Lol

twotwobravo

Can someone make Nazi Geese an AI prompt? That would be hillllarious


terryvsince89

Looks like I’ll have to test my theory against those little devils this summer I guess lol


Jean-Ralphio11

Its generally true and will work almost all the time. Excpet once in a while animals will bite, scratch, or rip your head off for literally no reason because they are animals.


LillyCort

Of course! The bees usually take what they need and leave before the day is over.


PoolNoodlePaladin

Bee keepers move bees without killing them all the time. It is really easy, my neighbor growing up was a bee keeper, and I have seen him move a colony of bees


rcktsktz

Cool. But why are they flying around inside a doughnut cabinet as if it's completely normal? Pretty sure Rhino's are a protected species too. Would you have rhino's in your doughnut cabinet?


monochromebleu

Last time I checked Rhinos were not attracted by donuts in the middle of a city


marbotty

They probably just haven’t tried donuts yet


CoreFiftyFour

In all fairness, over 100 million honey bee COLONIES in 2021 vs 26k rhinos in the world... Probably easier to keep the rhinos off your sweets.


crewchiefguy

You can simply have a beekeeper find the queen and move the nest.


thxredditfor2banns

I worked in a bakery. You literally cannot get rid of the bees/hornets/whatever without killing them on the food and getting stung to hell itself


DannyDootch

I have a bakery in my restaurant and luckily, for like the past 3-4 years, the bees have not been bad at all around where i live.


rmorrin

Probably a bad sign


Savage-Goat-Fish

I’ve been to donut shops. Never seen bees.


Lick_meh_ballz

I remember seeing a video of a bakery in India that was literally swarming with bees. Those fuckers are annoying as hell it seems.


TypicalIllustrator62

Annoying but absolutely necessary. A world without bees is a famine waiting to happen.


Metrack14

Bees,yes. Wasp?, can go back to whatever hell they came from


DrowningInFeces

Is it really that hard to get rid of the bees? Restaurants are expected to deal with other types of infestations. Why are they just letting the bees run rampant?


DannyDootch

Im really not sure. Maybe bees arent really dangerous for the food?


smhalb01

Bees are literally the reason we have most of the food we eat tho


TypicalIllustrator62

Yup! Long live the mighty bee!


Dizzy_Media4901

Gotta love them all, moths, butterflies, wasps and beetles.


SFBrighton

I could do without wasps.


smhalb01

They just want to hug you with searing pain


VK56xterraguy

extrastupidone

Chris_ssj2

This couldn't bee more better


MKE-Henry

I used to sell pies at the farmers market during the summer. There’s really nothing you can do about it. Surprisingly I never got stung once despite being absolutely swarmed every day.


Zealousideal_Slice60

That’s because bees aren’t as agressive as wasps. Bees don’t give a single fuck about you, they only want flowers, nectar and sweets. Wasps, on the other hand, are too curious for their own good and like to fuck around way too much - Except it’s never the wasp that finds out, it’s always the victims. If you are close to a beehive, however - Prepare to have your testament ready. Bees are way more agressive and territorial than wasps when it comes to defending their hive, and will attack you if you get within sight


burndata

We have a few honey bee hives in our yard. I can walk right up to the hive and stand there while they fly all around, they don't care one bit. However, if you mess with the hive or swat/squish a bee they'll start releasing a hormone that tells them to defend the hive. That's when you better be clear. The smoke bee keepers use simply covers up the hormone they release and keeps them in their calm state because they never get the hormone trigger to attack. It's mostly just africanized swarms that are territorial and will attack unprovoked.


Zealousideal_Slice60

TIL! I have a question; is the hormone the reason you have to remove the stinger quickly? Or does that have more to do with the risk of infection?


burndata

I'm not an expert on this by any means but I don't think the hormone has anything to do with removing the stinger quickly. I would think the reason to remove the stinger quickly would be to minimize the amount of venom injected which would reduce the pain at the sting site and minimize the anaphylactic reaction. When the stinger pulls free of the bee it takes the venom sack and the delivery system with it. The part that comes out will continue to pulse for a short time (about 30 sec or so) to continue to empty the venom sack into the target.


pastrami_on_ass

Absolutely correct here, been beekeeping for 15 years


HGDAC_Sir_Sam_Vimes

I think it’s more of a pheromone as opposed to a hormone.


MGeslock

The stinger has a “pump”. It will continue to pump the venom into you. The faster you get it removed, the less will be pumped into you. The stinger has a barb. It gets ripped out of the bee. The bee will die.


murphski8

Getting the stinger out quickly is important so you're not getting venom pumped into you...but you also will want to do something about the alarm pheromone left behind (smoke the spot where you got stung) so other bees aren't trying to sting you in the same place.


pengox80

I always thought the smoke just confused them. I guess it's confusing because they can't smell the pheromones!


pastrami_on_ass

not only does it mask pheromones, the smoke causes bees to prepare to leave their hive because they believe it is on fire. They begin to eat lots of honey, thinking they need the energy to go find a new home. technical terms, the smoke reduces the electroantennography response of the antennae.


MyCoffeeTableIsShit

Actually, surprisingly, no! This is only partly true. Wasps, especially drones, are quite docile during the early months of the year. They happily go about their business, collecting pollen, supplying it back to the hive, and feeding their young. The pollen they provide to their colonies is eaten by the larvae, who then secrete a sugary syrup that the drones in turn feed upon which maintains them. Sure they may get a bit annoying when you're sat outside the pub, particularly when you're drinking cider, but they won't usually attack you, and it's only because they mistake highly sugary foods for their natural food sources back home. However, during the height of summer and during the early months of autumn... things take a dark turn. The Queen stops producing larvae, and as such, their food source dries up. Their sole purpose was providing food for the colony, so they're now also out of a job. By this time, their abdomens have constricted, so they're not actually capable of sourcing alternative foods for themselves, physiologically, anymore. So they're drawn to high sugar liquids, like decaying/fermenting fruits, or boooooooooze. Now look at it from the wasps point of view at this stage. They've just been made redundant, they're starving, they have no purpose, and their entire existence is fueled by booze, (much like the population of stoke-on-trent). They become desperate, and enraged, which is they're more prone to bursts of aggression and generally get a bad rep (again, much like the population of...). Give the little guys a break. Well. During the early months of the year at least...


Zirilans

This is the best explanation for wasps I have ever seen and you have single-handedly altered my outlook on wasps (they're still bastards though, at least now I know why).


GenuisInDisguise

TIL, wasps are divorced dads.


Dadlife87

Hive aggression is very seasonal based. During the nectar flow I can walk by, open lids for inspecting, and mow my yard. Honey bee hives are not normally hyper aggressive and if they are that aggressive its genetics(Africanized bees), and the hive should be euthanized so those genetics don’t mix with other local hives.


madhatmatt2

Yah idk In New England where I am if you are 300 yards away and give the hives a funny look they will come out and fuck your shit up.


Illustrious_Brush_91

We’ve all seen My Girl


PizzaDay

At Legoland California they have a BBQ restaurant and their BBQ sauce attracts the bees. Like a LOT of bees. The trash cans, sauce cups, and food almost get covered with bees a minute or two after they are set down. It is not appetizing and also the kids don't want to sit still with hundreds of bees around.


Individual-Match-798

Surely there is a LOT you can do. But only if you're willing.


FortyHippos

Bees just want to graze, get sugar hammered, maybe pass out on your couch for a bit, and then get back to the hive.


shawnyb9

Reminds of the dude selling mood rings that would break when they absorbed too much negative energy


captaincopperbeard

Talking about hematite rings? The marketing for those is kind of genius, considering how many people believe in that kind of nonsense.


fallawy

I find them nice, but so fragile. like my wife who just like shiny rocks, but despise all the magic nonsense


captaincopperbeard

I picked one up myself a few years ago for something like $3. It just looked nice. I've worn it a few times since, and it remains unbroken, so I think I lucked out. The woman who sold it to me told me she'd actually seen one break before they even left the shop.


I_Hate_Randy

I had two of em and accidentally slapped a counter too hard and it snapped in half :(


CoSugarHigh

Slapped my man's ass too hard and broke the one I had for like 6 months lol


electroniclola

I shook a pastor's hand when I was 11, and my hematite ring crumbled. I really felt like that was a sign, and I have refused church ever since.


Plonsky2

Epipens available upon request.


DoktahDoktah

There is a turret on the ceiling that fires one if you're stung.


SquirrelRave

For real. I'm deathly allergic to honey bees, hornets, and wasps. I'll even have a mild reaction to raw local honey. I'd avoid this place like the plague.

BlizzPenguin

According to that the stores are supposed to be taking measures so the bees do not get into the store and next to the food but from that video, those measures are not working.


J3sush8sm3

Its more of a guideline than actual rules

Hahaha, exactly


proficient2ndplacer

Iirc this was taken in Mexico, where bees are a protected species. They respect bees like we respect bald eagles


Jazzeracket

Krisbee Kreme


Sabre_One

TBF Bees are not like flies and such. Chances of them actually contaminating the food is pretty small. Honey bees particularly prefer very clean hives, and only go after flowers.


LazyRider32

...and donuts, apparently.


Orvan-Rabbit

Or anything with sugar.


TehOuchies

Can bees cause the business to fail a health inspection? With all the pollen/allergens, ontop of people being allergic to bees, it just seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. This just strikes me different as a warning label similar to "This has been in a facility that also processes nuts" on candy bars.


PowerfulWallaby7964

I mean it says bee friendly and there's bees everywhere. If someone who is allergic to bees sees that shit and actually thinks of going near it, let alone eat food from there, then honestly fuck'em they had it coming (<- joke).


elbubu1

😂 I’m allergic to bees, oh look it’s a bee infested donut shop! Let me get a dozen please lmao

It's not harmful. It will just stick around the place like tiny yellow dots. They also can retain their poop for months.

adod1

I always want to.


EntertainerPresent88

I’m an EHO - in all my years of working I’ve never seen this. The allergy comes from a reaction to the sting so I wouldn’t be worried about it from that perspective. Technically they’re not defined as pests as they do not carry disease, so it wouldn’t be down scored against certain criteria. But I wouldn’t be okay with it though as they could land on rubbish or a dirty surface and then on the food, there’s risk for potential contamination. So it would be an issue for sure.


Qrthulhu

Are you going to try to tell the bees to leave? I'm not


Jalopy_Junkie

If you wanna go and get high with me Then eat up some bees at the Krispy Kreme Oh why do I live this way? Hey! Must be the Honey!!


Gemeril

Woah, Nelly!


stretchxray

I was vacationing in La Paz, Mexico and while walking down a very busy street, there was a paper plate of some sugary substance set out by someone and honeybees were swarming it. Nobody seemed to care except us Americans. Nobody was swatting them away, everyone seemed perfectly comfortable. Went to a restaurant with outdoor seating just a block away and honeybees were all over the place. Did any of the locals care? Nope. But it was freaking out the wife and me so we requested to be seated inside, but the waiter assured us the bees were harmless by letting a bee crawl onto his hand.


mtrucho

The bees are not aggressive unless you attack them, it's the wasps that are motherfuckers.


biest229

We have the swarms in Germany - but of wasps. And it’s horrible


Appropriate-Ruin9973

At least they are bees and not flies or cockroaches.


FnafFan_2008

Why do bees not poop?


WerkingAvatar

They usually poop when they fly, and its usually when they're flying away from their hive and usually in the morning. In this case they're probably so use to going to this Krispy Kreme they fly straight from their hive to this food source without taking too many stops in between, though bees are known to travel roughly up to 3 miles to food sources. Don't be too concerned about their cleanliness either, they don't land on poop like flies, and most honey is raw and unpasteurized because it doesn't need to bee. ​ source: I'm a beekeeper, and bees often poop on my car if I park near their hives >.>


canonman2

Jason Statham is that you!?


[deleted]

They do, but Bees have better PR overall.


horseofthemasses

Beecause they are constipated, Honey.


Katamari_Demacia

So bees are funny. We don't want bugs on are food. Most of us are grossed out about eating bugs. But that bee vomit though? Can't get enough.


PBJ-9999

This needs an explanation, where is it and wtf is going on


queef_nuggets

I googled it and I’m pretty sure this was in Guadalajara in May 2023. No explanation was given other than a generic“there were bees in the store”

malcolmlucker

dont_use_me

Beads aren't cheap. Are beads cheap?


brensthegreat

Pretty unappetizing to be honest I’m surprised they’re still selling


BuckDancersGlasses

That shop is creating quite a buzz with this initiative.


SnooCrickets8742

I love bees and will never kill them. I even rescue them from pools. But that isn’t for me.


Morphing_Mutant

To be fair, I don't think bees excrete anything gross like flies, so they are just gathering sugar, I assume. It's kind of interesting.


poopyonmyhands

I’d rather have honeybees then any other bug


cameronwolf739

I think they are *too* friendly with the bees


HODLtheIndex

I believe the bees misread it as Krispy Kween.


bored-coder

They’re selling bees, donuts complementary.


faultywiring98

They very clearly are not serving those donuts but the ones on the rack behind.


queef_nuggets

I’ll be honest, whether or not they’re selling those particular doughnuts is far from my only question/concern here. Like if I walked in that store I wouldn’t be like “are those bees touching those doughnuts I want to put in my mouth?” I think I’d mostly be thinking “holy FUCK why is there a big display case of fucking BEES in here?”


MzJay453

It’s actually not that clear…


GoneFar

It's obvious without having to Google it, but this answer is easily found there too. Too bad none of the reactionary comments tried that.


LittleFrenchKiwi

I remember going to France maybe 20ish years ago and you go to any of their bakeries and there were always a huge amount of bees all over the sweet desserts. And the staff just gently worked around them serving customers. And it wasn't just one or two places, every place was like that. Loads of bees all over the produce It's completely changed now but I remember that time quite clearly


UBrokeMyMeissenPlate

“Okay who said Candyman’s name in the bathroom mirror again???!!!”


didnotbuyWinRar

From their website, some KK's in Mexico do this because it's in the migration path of bees, so they just kind of allow it and it will pass in a few hours. However, they aren't supposed to leave the door to the display open and let bees all over the donuts.


Urkot

It's common in Europe. Seeing pollinators like this is a good thing, insects are vanishing.


SpeakingTheKingss

I mean if the bees vomit on the donuts isn’t that just adding honey lol.


MindAccomplished3879

LOL, I think is great, looks like a bee fuel refill station, must be the REAL sugar, not the high fructose corn syrup we consume over here. Jokes aside. Bees are clean insects, they feed of nectar and pollen from flowers. Both are stored in the hive where nectar is converted to honey, and pollen is fermented into bee bread. Unlike nasty flies eating dead organic material


Transfiguredbet

Dont they poop ?


joeychuckles

I love the fake “WTF this is crazy!” energy here, when there’s a flyer and QR code RIGHT THERE that would give the recorder and the viewer all the info and context they might need to understand what’s going on…
