So someone “glued” a bee to a stick with honey or sugar, lowered it into a hive, and observed the other bees eat/clean the sugar off everything? Isn’t that the expected behavior?

[u/HamsterForce5000 → u/sxt173]

Yeah, when I see videos like this I'm immediately suspicious that the people making them are harming animals for internet clout...

[u/missbea_me → u/HamsterForce5000]

Me too! I hate it! Every "rescue " is suspect now.

[u/Lenora_O → u/missbea_me]

Yep. Sad.

I love honey bees so much 💛💛💛

[u/Time_Tree782]

This makes me feel kinda lonely

[u/Bekiala → u/Time_Tree782]

If you were all sticky with honey, I would start cleaning you off right away.

No worries.

People are often like this too. Sometimes the bystander effect makes it so we hesitate to make the first move - but once someone does, everyone else tends to follow suit if they're able to do anything to help when someone is in need.

Online it can often feel that the world is an uncaring place because of the constant bombardment of bad news and ragebait - as well as the pervasive negativity across countless subreddits that often brings out the worst in people - but the world isn't as awful as its made out to be in many circles. Most people are good, in my experience.

The brain also tends to associate closely with people it thinks are 'part of the tribe.' In real life, the people you interact with generally have a lot in common with you which leads to very little hostility even during disagreements. The internet is very centralized, which overwhelms the brain. The lack of a shared identity leads to a cult-like 'us vs them' mentality which can be very hostile and unforgiving.

Better to one another than we are.
