    I can add to tbe Bee fact; I spent nearly 2 years outside on the front porch, working and just being there, here in South-West Virginia. We had wasps start moving in, which was alarming at first, until I realized the wasps I was seeing most of the time are non-agressive and have small hives.
    What was even more fascinating was the discovery that the wasps would investigate me, curious about my presence, and did not try to attack me to drive me off. I mean I was there first! Then the best part started happening; my friend wasps began to defend me from yellow jackets and larger hornets that were quite aggressive toward me. I had maybe 4 nests close to me and another 6 along the porch on the other side of the door. The queens would come over and greet me every day when I came out and got settled for the day, and their daughters would greet me now and then as they went about their day. When yellow jackets appeared, the queen would come out and signal the other wasps to come and drive the invader out! If an invading wasp or hornet refused to leave, well, I'd find them later, cut in half, often with their wings ripped out too.
    I knew wasps could recognize faces, so I am not surprised that Bees can as well.

    I went to school with twins born 6 weeks apart - and we were born in the mid-sixties! Not quite the same gap but given the date, very impressive that they survived.
    The Scots have that many words for snow, of which about a dozen are broadcastable! 😂

    You are 3,000% better at pronunciation than all of CZcams . I give obvious foreign based channels a pass on some pronunciations but there are so many bad channels out there. I run CZcams in the background often and some i have to run with captions to figure out some common words, numbers and celebrity names. There’s one channel out there that reads out abbreviations by S T instead of street and years by each individual number like 2 0 2 3 instead of 2023. Something i have to rewind to figure out what they just said. And of course,they’re the ones that ask for likes , comments and support for their channel. Sometimes their photos don’t match either. I saw one today where there were photos of Jerry Lewis and Jerry Lee Lewis in the video as if they were talking about the same person.😊

    One of my professors was involved with debunking the myth about Inuit having so many words for snow.
    The elders in the village were asked very plainly how many words they had for snow. The answer was that they had as many words for it as there were in English, as in one or two.
    The myth was perpetuated mostly because, as in many languages, they have a lot of adjectives...but none exclusive to snow.

    I'm shook! Mike, Monopoly was invented by a woman.
    "Who was the real inventor of Monopoly?
    In fact, the rules to the game had been invented in Washington DC in 1903 by a bold, progressive woman named Elizabeth Magie. But her place in the game's folk history was lost for decades and ceded to the man who had picked it up at his friend's house: Charles Darrow."

    Not sure what conversion you're using but 25°C is nowhere near 13°F (ref. 10:08 timestamp). 25°C is 77°F and 13°C is about 55°F.
    I do notice that -25°C is -13°F so perhaps that is the temperature point you were trying to communicate but that's not what the video shows nor what Mike narrated.

    To be fair Mexico City's "water table" is actually the water of an old lake. The Aztecs built their capital Tenochtitlan (which is now the center of Mexico City) in the center of the lake. They later built the surrounding city on the lake bed after the lake was drained by the Spanish.

    Hell, Michigan, got its name from the German word hell, which translates to orange from the city having a German population, and this city also turns orange in the fall from all the maple trees.
