Differences in what is funny is why I think jokes just don't work well on discussion forums. I assume that this is the reason they are called attendants. Things that seem to follow logically are not comical to me.
- Stratoscope 9y agoThe term "attendants" didn't come from anyone joking around in this thread. The linked USPS information page uses the word because it's what beekeepers call them: > Monday morning myth: attendants must be removed from queen cages > Many beekeepers believe that you must remove attendant bees from queen shipping cages before you introduce a caged queen into a hive. They believe the queen will more likely be killed by the receiving hive if both the attendants and the queen have a foreign odor. > This simply is not true. If you install the caged queen properly, the attendants will cause no problem. Before long the queen’s pheromone will circulate throughout the hive. All the bees—as well as the attendants—will then smell the same. https://honeybeesuite.com/monday-morning-myth-attendants-must-be-removed/ https://honeybeesuite.com/monday-morning-myth-attendants-mus...
- arghwhat 9y agoNo matter the forum, there will always be someone who doesn't understand the joke. That's not going to stop the rest of us from being entertained, however.
