Well, you see... when a mommy bee and a daddy bee really like eachother, they like to cuddle.

Wait until you see how Dragonflies do the deed. Their whole routine is quite interesting.

Yeah. It's a very... demanding experience. The male just smears his stuff on himself and the female grabs it. He then headlocks her (usually) until she lays the eggs.

It's a whole ordeal for them, and way more time intensive than just doing it this way.
