Bees: The Journey Home | Calm Bedtime Science for Kids & Adults
About this episode
This episode explores the fascinating world of bees and their behaviors, aiming to calm listeners and make them feel safe around these creatures.
A bee flies close. Most people tense up. Even grown-ups. But what if you knew what it was actually doing? Tonight, we follow a bee smaller than your fingertip, covered in soft fuzzy hairs, almost always on her way somewhere. Inside the hive, bees build perfect hexagons and use a “waggle dance” to tell each other, in complete darkness, exactly where the flowers are. By the end, a bee flying near you won’t feel dangerous. Just busy. Just trying to get home. Like you, tonight. Books, bundles, and downloadable episodes at bedtimescientist.com
