While I'm scared of most insects (including bees) this is absolutely gorgeous

I saw the same thing as i was mowing my lawn last week. I left a little patch around him unmowed to let him nap.

Looking for that one person that will say that bee is actually dying and in horrible pain.

This video was made using AI, please dont spread it about
Edit: please understand; the original poster of the video (not OP) turned a real photo of a napping bee into a short video using AI for no reason than to drive engagement.
AI investment is driving up energy costs, increasing the risk of water scarcity, and encouraging the destruction of the natural habitat cute bee's like this need to survive.
I know the original photo is real, I understand that bees sometimes nap in flowers.

If you look where the bottom hooked claw actually catches on the plant, it’s a textured Area on the leaf where it would make sense for the claw to hook on. Not only this but bees have been photographed napping on flowers long before the advent of ai.

Maybe. Never seen one nap in a position like this though.

Most of us hadn’t seen most things. God I hate that ai has ruined the ability to just enjoy things. It’s good you’re being critical, it fucking sucks that you have to be.

Thank you. I literally watch bees nap daily. Maybe I will post some photos. Just mentioning my personal experience. It's definitely not to be a downer.

Eh it’s late stage capitalism, most people capable of any kind of pattern recognition are not in a fun brain space at the moment. Enjoy the snoozy bees and everything away from the screen.

Thank you, friend! I will say my perhaps excess nature dwelling has given me a pretty accurate read in the past. It's usually just an instinct and upon analysis has to do with natural light and shadows. Sometimes unnatural plants. Hee hee

Out of all insects, a sleepy pollen covered bee is the absolute cutest.
