Is it possible to train bees? Asking for a friend who is very interested in bee training.

No, but maybe we could encourage the Orcas.

Bit hard to swallow... you'd be guaranteed to choke to death though.

nah ive seen a video of an asian guy swallowing a hornet. he was fine but his mouth was so inflated he could barely speak properly

I'm assuming the biohacking community can get on that.

They already like to have fun by attacking sailboats. Orcas are comrades!

"Isoamyl acetate is released by a honey bee's sting apparatus where it serves as a pheromone beacon to attract other bees and provoke them to sting.[8]"

That's crazy!

Fascinating! TIL
