A swarm of bees attacked a Los Angeles Police Department volunteer, who tried to swat away the insects before he stumbled and fell. A second uniformed man got out of a car to help his colleague, but then apparently changed his mind. <br>The volunteer sustained dozens of bee stings and was taken to a local hospital where he was listed in stable condition, according to LAPD. <br> <br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br>Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative. <br>Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RTnews <br>Follow us on Telegram: https://t.me/rtnews <br>Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RT_com

People don't know how to talk WITH bees.......

I do.

They communicate very clearly and openly - but you must listen in the stillness - and they will tell you what they want and don't want.

They only talk to people for a reason.

If your approaching their hive or swarm and they will come up to you, and hover in front of your face - with a very heavy noisy wing beat, they are telling you that you have come close enough, and getting closer will lead to you being attacked.

So by graciously thanking them for their kindness and honour, and then getting your arse moving promptly and slowly retreating and going way way around the hives etc., they leave you alone.

But dumb fucks just swipe the bees in their faces - which is BAD MANNERS and an insult - it's also an attack on the messengers, and the bees move in, to defend their swarm or hive....

The stupid people think I am mad - but when you look at how clever all these OTHER CREATURES really are, and how extraordinary their communication and navigation and other skills are - interspecies communication is fairly straight forward - you just have to be open to paying attention to them.

They are not just things, they are living things - just like us.

Just a list:

They have a predetermined observation range, a potentially incoming threat range and a highly probably attack range.

So there is time and distance... and calculated fair estimates for patrolling and protecting the hives.

Once you move from something milling around the area, to the range of potential threats, they come to you, and they identify your best points to attack - being your eyes and face - and they put themselves within a respectfully authorative distance from your face, where they KNOW that you will be able to see and hear them.

Then they tell you - &quot;You are getting too close to our home - we perceive your intrusion as a threat - but because full on attacks are costly to us and you, we will ask you to retreat - just in case it's an accidental intrusion - and if you retreat, all will be well - and if you don't - and continue to press on towards our hives, in order to defend our homes and stored food supply - we will attack you&quot;.

So they have picked you off at a distance, set a linear distance type boundary to come to you and warn you off - and they do it by paying attention to your face - and eyes, and they make sure you see and hear them....

And the stupid people swat them....

Hovering burns up energy - and they don't want to waste it while making flourishing and eloquent supplications to them...

A very brief connection of spirit - and they get it, that your not here to raid them, piss them off or waste their time with stupid shit - and they appreciate this.

&quot;Thank you, and I leave you with love, honour and respect&quot; - and then about face and head back the way you came in.

And the bees &quot;get it&quot;.

Bees have incredible 3D navigational skills - over great distances, and they visually find and remember sources of pollen and water in different plants and locations...

And then they gather the pollen and water - and fertilise the plants, and then carry the pollen and water back home to the hive and then they communicate the distance, the direction etc., to the food sources, in their wiggle dances, to all the other bees.....

Flight

Antoine Magnan's 1934 book Le vol des insectes says that he and André Sainte-Laguë had applied the equations of air resistance to insects and found that their flight could not be explained by fixed-wing calculations, but that "One shouldn't be surprised that the results of the calculations don't square with reality".[57]

This has led to a common misconception that bees "violate aerodynamic theory". In fact it merely confirms that bees do not engage in fixed-wing flight, and that their flight is explained by other mechanics, such as those used by helicopters.[58]

In 1996 it was shown that vortices created by many insects' wings helped to provide lift.[59] High-speed cinematography[60] and robotic mock-up of a bee wing[61] showed that lift was generated by "the unconventional combination of short, choppy wing strokes, a rapid rotation of the wing as it flops over and reverses direction, and a very fast wing-beat frequency".

Wing-beat frequency normally increases as size decreases, but as the bee's wing beat covers such a small arc, it flaps approximately 230 times per second, faster than a fruitfly (200 times per second) which is 80 times smaller.[62]


Navigation, communication, and finding food

Karl von Frisch (1953) discovered that honey bee workers can navigate, indicating the range and direction to food to other workers with a waggle dance.

The ethologist Karl von Frisch studied navigation in the honey bee. He showed that honey bees communicate by the waggle dance, in which a worker indicates the location of a food source to other workers in the hive.

He demonstrated that bees can recognize a desired compass direction in three different ways: by the sun, by the polarization pattern of the blue sky, and by the earth's magnetic field. He showed that the sun is the preferred or main compass; the other mechanisms are used under cloudy skies or inside a dark beehive.[63] Bees navigate using spatial memory with a "rich, map-like organization".[64]
