You think you’re the greatest species to ever live and can do anything, yet you cannot and will never even take a nap inside a flower

These bees (diadasia diminuta) sleep inside specific flowers called globe mallows — this type of bee is therefore known as the globe mallow bee.

@fskornia @thedansimonson The people suffering from hay fever probably would like to have a word with you...

@Venty @fskornia flowers don’t produce the kind of pollen responsible for that—trees and grasses are the culprits.

Flowers, after all, are symbiotic with pollinators, but trees and grasses often use the wind, which is why they end up causing allergies

Cave Johnson here and if you think I'm gonna sit around and NOT sleep in a flower if I goddamn want to you got another think coming! That's why I instructed my engineers to make me a flower large enough to sleep in eight years ago! Now, just as soon as we deal with the giant bee issue it'll be snoozeville in flowertown for ol' Cave, just you see.
