Bumblebee peeing? I never knew.

Did it both at the 2:38 and 2:48 mark.

Weird. But neat video.

Research Malpighian tubules and how Bumble Bees use them to expel liquid urine.

Short answer, yes. A Bumble Bee can pee!

Thanks, yes, just noticed that too. Indeed, not your normal cute kitten video. All these years, and I never knew bees urinate!

Wow, indeed!


Do bumble bees urinate?
"Unlike most insects, bees (and, I suppose, bumblebees) indeed can "urinate" by producing water with their Malpighian tubules and excreting it from their recta. Most insects only excrete dry fecal pellets, aggressively reabsorbing any and all water." Source (full) -

Well, what goes IN one end has to come OUT the other in one manner or another...

Mmmm... Bee Pee... BeePee...

That's kinda cute. I'll need to let it rattle around in my head for a while and see what kind of sarcastic BS I can concoct from it.

The WORDS, not the... Bee Pee!

LOL

lol, when we were about 8 me an my mate found the fattest bumble bee ever, struggling to move on the floor it was so fat, we rolled it over to take a look at him, and he squirted this milky liquid everywhere, freaked me out, hit my leg and i thought it was sting juice, never knew till now bumble bees can pee

Sure thing, your welcome. I was frankly amazed, even though as another poster said, it pretty much makes sense. Just never saw it like that, until this video!

Maybe its honey?

Was kinda white in color.

Funny story. There you go!

FFS, it's common sense, every living creature pees and poops, if it eats then it has waste for goodness sakes.

once a beautful butterfly came to me while i was eating a water melon.
it decided to sit next to me and feed on the peels, it was very thirsty.
really a big beautiful creature!
so fragile, so elegant, so cute ...

before it took off again, it really left me a mess:

it peed/shit on my knee, and i couldn´t believe that green goo came out of this guy, as it seemed to be twice his body mass !

since then, i look at butterflies differently; still think they are beautiful, but they can leave hell of a mr hanky !
