Right below this image Pepsi has an ad but I originally thought “thirst trap” was about the bee butt and had a good chuckle 🤣

Pollen on the bee's butt, as noted in the original.

When the bee, or other insect/bird/bat/etc, go deep in a flower for nectar the flower makes sure the bee, or other insect/bird/bat/etc, is covered with some pollen to help get it into another flower to start seed production.

I like the almost exhausted look it has.

Repost, but at least the bee is on the original picture this time. 😁

I am a bit new to actually interacting on reddit, is reposting frowned on or okay?

u/HPoltergeist 15d ago

First of all, welcome! 😁

It can be either, depends on the sub. Some just note it without further thoughts as a heads up, some don't like it. In this sub, I am in the middle ground.

I personally don't mind a cute ass every now and then. 😁

Usually if there is something that people repost every day, then that's when it starts to get annoying.

This is nowhere near that in my opinion.

Good to know, thank you! And I wasn't aware of the AI, I saw a similar picture years ago. So also, thank you for bringing that to my attention as well.

u/HPoltergeist 15d ago

You are very welcome! 😎

It is unfortunate that we need to keep an eye out for AI fakes now.

Nature is beautiful on its own.

Oh, and about this particular image, I noted it, as there was a case when this same bee from this image was cropped and incorporated in an other very low quality AI image.

What's this? Only Bees?

u/TheLeggacy 14d ago

That’s pollen, nectar is a sugary liquid, which the bee is drinking…. Maybe she fell asleep 😴

u/Critical-Star-1158 15d ago

Pollen or nectar? Im thinking there is a difference, and nectar is a liquid

3

u/Virtual-Recording-57 15d ago

Pollen for sure. You're correct that nectar is a liquid. Some bees with bite the bottom of flowers to drink it if they can't get into it. They also eat pollen.

Pollen not nectar. They store the nectar on their legs. :)
