apollo-cackling: sarkos: thescaredfluid:What the Fuck?? [image description 1: a reddit comment by u/Piogre with 10.4k upvotes, saying,“When I was in fifth grade there was an active market in live bees. Some kids figured out that the weight of the average fifth grader briefly stepping on a bee, in the grass, would stun it for about a minute without actually killing it. They started going out in teams to scout bees on the field, stun them, and carefully scoop them into plastic sandwich bags – they’d then sell them to other students who’d release them in classrooms to waste class time and scare people.You could get honeybees for 25 cents apiece. Bumblebees and yellow jackets cost more. Teachers and school admin started cracking down on this – teachers literally confiscated live bees in plastic bags from students when found, and they eventually had to start having someone watch the field to catch students in the act.” /end description][image description 2: a screenshot from the Simpsons, of Abraham Simpson saying “‘Give me five bees for a quarter!’ you’d say.” /end description] -- source link
