I was just out in my yard with my 3 yr old daughter. Our neighboring field we keep mowed is full of weed flowers and clover. When she ran over there I was worried about bees, but strangely enough there wasn't the first honey bee! Where are they%26lt; something really seems a miss here....Where is all the honey bees?
It's called Colony Collapse Disorder and its affecting hives across the country. It first started appearing several years ago, but has become more prevalent. What happens is all the worker bees leave a hive and die, leaving behind the queen bee.
Its very rare for a hive to leave behind the queen bee which is why this problem is so troubling.Where is all the honey bees?
There is something wrong with honeybees. I heard that are is something killing them on the News two Fridays ago. Bee keepers are taking the bees out to get honey and there are no worker bees in there. The queen is dying because there are no worker bees.
Honey bees are starting to die all around the world, with losses ranging from 30-60% I still haven't found out the why, but I know that A LOT of research is being made, since honey bees are so important for pollinating. One recomendation I heard from a friend of mine was to start beekeeping. He's done it since I've known him, and his bees aren't dead...yet. So with some assistance from him, I finally made a hive and started some beekeeping myself. That's the best I can do for you, man.

My g/f has bees in her house all of the time.?
They are usually dead around the basement window (yellow jackets) and attitic windows (black wasps). And usually 1-3 flying around her house. They usually end up in her daughters bedroom where they are discovered while she sleeping. We live in central PA and this is ALL year long. We have no idea where they are coming in from. All windows are new. Exterminator spray but with in a week or 2 they are back. Any suggestions to rid ourselves of these bees and wasps?My g/f has bees in her house all of the time.?
First check your basement or attic or space between your ceiling and roof for a beehive or wasp hive. Lots of bees and wasps will put their hive in an attic or hole in a wooden house wall. Wasps will more often put their hives in a wooden house wall if termites made the holes - because then the young wasps can feed off the termites.
Don't just have the exterminator spray and leave - you are paying that person way too much! A real exterminator who really knows their job would have inspected your house from top to botom looking for all kinds of insect damage such as termites and wasps nests inside your attic or under your roof eaves, and then given you a full estimate for treating for more than just spraying those bees.
We have ants in our yard that make their nests in our walls and into our attic crawl space. They bring in small termite larva that eat bigger holes in our wooden siding, and after the ants and termites come the wasps to feed. You need to go over every inch of the house, inside and out and look for their entry points. If you see ants, wasps, or bees flying in the air around a certain spot - there's your hive or entry point. Once you find it, find a different PCA who really knows their stuff, including calling in a beekeeper who can safely remove a beehive and leave you some clean honeycomb!My g/f has bees in her house all of the time.?
You probably have a serious nest issue somewhere within the walls or ceiling of your house. Exterminators can knock the population down, but until you locate the nest - and the queen - they'll be back. Call a beekeeper for advice. If you have honey bees, he may agree to move the hive for you, free.
ok no not really but i heard that bees and wasps hate the color blue but maybe a fly light will help the blue lights that kills them maybe it will help you out, but there could be a hole in the walls that they found you will have to call insect control to have them search the walls or if your not scared yourself then you will have to we have the same problem herehair ideas

Why doesn't Winnie the Pooh ever get stung by the bees he messes with?
Because it's a cartoon based on a children's book, silly. ^_^
In cartoons, ok, things are not, by definition, ';high definition';. You don't get to see every last detail unless the artist renders it. So in a cartoon about Pooh, odds are the bees and other insects would be too small--they'd be dots. It's the same reason why you never see fingers, or proper hands even, on a Powerpuff Girl. It's a decision to not render the detail based on art style.
Oh, and it's based on a children's book, duh. And in the book bad things of that sort don't happen *so often to Pooh*, ok? If they did it would ruin the narrative because the details wouldn't be *relevant* to the story.
Now if this were *Eeyore's* story, he's mopey, he'd get stung by bees. It would work. It would be a relevant part of the story because it's in character for that character to *suffer*, ok?
Not so much with everyone else.....seriously. :p *lol*Why doesn't Winnie the Pooh ever get stung by the bees he messes with?
That's because Winnie the Pooh isn't alive even in the concept's reality. The only live character is the boy, Christopher Robin, and the other characters are just the boy's imagination. Pooh getting stung is not part of the boy's imagination so Pooh doesn't get stung.Why doesn't Winnie the Pooh ever get stung by the bees he messes with?
its a kids show hes not gonna get stung by a bee because then theyd have to introduce a new guy like a dog or somethin that will give him treatment
and who would wanna mess with a bear...a yellow bear...with a shirt
That's not a really gentle or soothing thing to put in a cartoon. That would upset the kids come on now...you know that.
Bears have fur that is too thick for bees to penetrate.
He does; he just gets sexual pleasure from it.
That would f*uck up the whole concept of a children's show.
Good question, though, lol.
Think of it this way: who the hell messes with a bear?

What do I say to my 19 year old friend who just learned about the Birds & the Bees?
she honestly didn't know until recently how sex actually works. should i make fun of her, pity her, congratulate her for not being a skank?What do I say to my 19 year old friend who just learned about the Birds %26amp; the Bees?
All three.What do I say to my 19 year old friend who just learned about the Birds %26amp; the Bees?
be the friend that she expects you to be and welcome her to the ';new world of sex';
None of the 3. You should treat her like she's normal. You shouldn't make her feel bad; she's your friend, after all! Answer her questions, discuss...maybe she needs this from a friend!!
Congradulate her, The longest I could go with out learning about it was 9 years old. We live in a perverted world
lol i dont really bealieve that but try and pick two of the three
buzz buzz....
tell her about woman and man !!
Bully her ! She's 19 !
That's really really sad. Seriously where has she been. Under a freakin rock. Anyways I would pity her first then smack her. lol
Just dont do anything. She might be sensitive inside.
Congratulate her for not putting herself out there like, but I'm wondering why in the hell is she just now knowing all of this. It's the year 2008 people
For a 19 year old not to know the mechanics of reproduction and sexual intercourse, then at least one of the following must apply:
1. Lack of interest in the subject.
2. Substandard IQ.
3. Was given incorrect/contradictory from a trusted source (friend, teacher, relative)
4. Is playing ignorant.
If it was me, I'd have no time/patience for 1,2, and 4. If it's number 3 I'd show a bit of sympathy, but not a whole lot because number 2 must be a factor for number 3 to have worked for so long.
Who are you to say anything? Be her friend and don't talk about it unless she brings it up with you.
teach here, some hands on experience
--禄 I learned when I was 9 ..
Make fun of her.
well, don't make fun of her
I find that impossible to believe.
I mean, if you go to school, you hear this stuff by the time you're 13.
If you watch ANY TV or movies, you've seen it happen hundreds, if not thousands of times.
And if you have friends, you've heard it all before.
I think she's lying just so she can appear to be virginal.
Make her repeat what she was told, see how much actually sunk in, and if shes forgotten any of it, fill in the gaps with your own hilarious version.
have a movie night and show her more then the pg movies she has been watching, and that will explain itself
yeah, all three.

What is the original story of the birds and the bees?
I know it has something to do with sex, but what do birds and bees have to do with it?What is the original story of the birds and the bees?
Its about Acient times. Girls were the Birds( laid the eggs which means had the baby )and the men were the bees( polinated the flowers 'the women';) That is your answer!What is the original story of the birds and the bees?
Ask your dad...my dad still hasen't given me the speech.
good question. been wondering myself. i don't see the connection. we don't do birds and bees in this house. we speak the truth. it's just easier and less confusion.
Ah.Now we come to the heart of your problem. No, indeed, the bee is not having sex with the bird. Or vice (pardon the pun) versa. The bees are happily doing it within their own species. Likewise the birds (singing for a reason) are breeding with their own. The phrase ';birds and bees'; is a way of communicating common, visible examples of sexual activity to illuminate the idea that all living creatures breed and propagate. The example (or synecdoche, if you will) is a means of illustrating this truth to children, or Republicans, who might not grasp it otherwise.
I think it means intercourse

If it was me, I'd have no time/patience for 1,2, and 4. If it's number 3 I'd show a bit of sympathy, but not a whole lot because number 2 must be a factor for number 3 to have worked for so long.
Who are you to say anything? Be her friend and don't talk about it unless she brings it up with you.
teach here, some hands on experience
--禄 I learned when I was 9 ..
Make fun of her.
well, don't make fun of her
I find that impossible to believe.
I mean, if you go to school, you hear this stuff by the time you're 13.
If you watch ANY TV or movies, you've seen it happen hundreds, if not thousands of times.
And if you have friends, you've heard it all before.
I think she's lying just so she can appear to be virginal.
Make her repeat what she was told, see how much actually sunk in, and if shes forgotten any of it, fill in the gaps with your own hilarious version.
have a movie night and show her more then the pg movies she has been watching, and that will explain itself
yeah, all three.
All three.What do I say to my 19 year old friend who just learned about the Birds %26amp; the Bees?
be the friend that she expects you to be and welcome her to the ';new world of sex';
None of the 3. You should treat her like she's normal. You shouldn't make her feel bad; she's your friend, after all! Answer her questions, discuss...maybe she needs this from a friend!!
Congradulate her, The longest I could go with out learning about it was 9 years old. We live in a perverted world
lol i dont really bealieve that but try and pick two of the three
buzz buzz....
tell her about woman and man !!
Bully her ! She's 19 !
That's really really sad. Seriously where has she been. Under a freakin rock. Anyways I would pity her first then smack her. lol
Just dont do anything. She might be sensitive inside.
Congratulate her for not putting herself out there like, but I'm wondering why in the hell is she just now knowing all of this. It's the year 2008 people
For a 19 year old not to know the mechanics of reproduction and sexual intercourse, then at least one of the following must apply:
1. Lack of interest in the subject.
2. Substandard IQ.
3. Was given incorrect/contradictory from a trusted source (friend, teacher, relative)
4. Is playing ignorant.

What is the original story of the birds and the bees?
I know it has something to do with sex, but what do birds and bees have to do with it?What is the original story of the birds and the bees?
Its about Acient times. Girls were the Birds( laid the eggs which means had the baby )and the men were the bees( polinated the flowers 'the women';) That is your answer!What is the original story of the birds and the bees?
Ask your dad...my dad still hasen't given me the speech.
good question. been wondering myself. i don't see the connection. we don't do birds and bees in this house. we speak the truth. it's just easier and less confusion.
Ah.Now we come to the heart of your problem. No, indeed, the bee is not having sex with the bird. Or vice (pardon the pun) versa. The bees are happily doing it within their own species. Likewise the birds (singing for a reason) are breeding with their own. The phrase ';birds and bees'; is a way of communicating common, visible examples of sexual activity to illuminate the idea that all living creatures breed and propagate. The example (or synecdoche, if you will) is a means of illustrating this truth to children, or Republicans, who might not grasp it otherwise.
I think it means intercourse

When, do you think, is the best time to tell your children about the birds and bees?
i think mine are getting close to that age.When, do you think, is the best time to tell your children about the birds and bees?
I don't think there's a best time.. I think there should be open discussion as soon as possible about the differences between men and women and a progression from there... Then there's not some overwhelming crash course at a certain age.When, do you think, is the best time to tell your children about the birds and bees?
On an age/maturity/understanding appropriate level, from the day they are born, whenever it comes up.
my daughter is 3 and my wife and i think you should not ';baby'; children your doing them wrong by not educating them. my daughter watches the baby stories with my wife and sees how babies are born . the birth of a child is beautiful
shes not like eww or anything she thinks its cute when the babies are born cause of their crying. i think you should tell the kids what sex is and when its ';appropriate '; to do and that nobody is allowed near them until then. hence the pervs that are out there in this world the better you educate them the better off they will be i believe.
Teaching children about human sexuality is not making them grow up too fast- it is educating them with the correct information BEFORE they hear the wrong information from someone else! We have always told our children the correct anatomical names for body parts. My children all have learned how babies are born, where they come out of, etc... My oldest is 9 and she knows about menstrual periods and about all the changes she will be going through. That being said, we are a Christian family and also teach that the body is a beautiful thing created by God and that we should respect our bodies. It is an on-going topic. You can not just give one big ';talk'; and then leave it at that. I would say that by age 3 or 4, it should be something that is discussed on a regular basis so your child is comfortable coming to you when he or she does have questions!
when they are old enough to understand...now a days kids are having sex at a really young age.
When they start asking questions
I think you should be telling them about it from the age of 4. Just increasing the amount of information to their level of understanding. Girls get pregnant and boys are sexually active at 12. Get a move on.
';Girls get pregnant and boys are sexually active at 12. Get a move on.'; did she really say this???? Maybe SHE was, but most 12 year olds are not!!!
I say be open about reproduction and read books about animals and nature...how the baby is carried in the belly, nurses on the breast, etc. I told my 5 year old that the baby is carried in the mommy's belly and comes out the birth canal. When he was 8 he asked how the seed got in there, and I said daddy's body carries the seed and when they love each other and have sexual relations, he puts the seed (used real terms like semen, sperm) into her body and it fertilizes the egg.
He's 12 now (and NOT having sex nor is thinking about it) and is very comfortable talking with us about it.
i hate that kids seem to be growing up so fast.
i would probably tell mine when they are starting highschool because i guess thats when they actually start learning about it.
its a tough one though, i guess it really depends on when you think they are ready to take in that info.
Exactly, when they start asking questions.
When they start asking about it, when they start hearing references at school.

Does anyone know how to get rid of honey bees in the side of your house?
if they have created a hive in the wall,it can be a modest problem.
you might see if there is a bee keeper near you that would be willing to
cover the cost of minor construction for the bees.
a local college or university entomology dept. may be able to help.
extermination should be a 'last resort' scenario.
if you had a way to harvest the honey,I'd say keep them.
in the walls,however,they would find their way into your house.
-not good-Does anyone know how to get rid of honey bees in the side of your house?
Sure do, but since you don't it's really not something I would feel comfortable telling you to do it yourself. You don't have either the equipment nor the experience and it can be as much about carpentry as anything else.
Check your yellow pages to see if someone does hive removal in your area. If no one specifically advertises for bees then call the exterminators.
The killing of the bees is relatively easy. The problem come that if you kill the bees you then are left with a hive of wax and honey in your wall. This can bring lots of creatures into your home. Ants, for instance.
If insects and such don't get the honey it can still be a problem. When summer comes, the sun shining on the side of the house can soften the wax to the extent it flows down inside the wall and you have honey leaking everywhere.
So it can be a big mess.
You are looking for someone who not only kills the bees, but takes off the siding and removes the wax and honey. Then fill the void and plug the hole and put everything back together.
It's really quite involved to do it right.
MarvDoes anyone know how to get rid of honey bees in the side of your house?
If they just got there today they may be gone tomorrow. If they are there longer than that start looking to see if there is an apiaryist in your area. If you call a bug spray place they may come and kill them which is not good. Call several if you go that route til you find one that will remove them to someplace safe.
Depending on where you live, there are people who remove bee hives for free, so they can raise the bees for honey. Try searching google to see if there is anyone in your area that will do that.
spray them with vinegar. After a little while they should go away. Fire could get out of hand. Plus you don't need to kill them unless they are causing you major problems. We need our bees.
Call the exterminator :Dhair ideas

What is the story of the birds and the bees?
WHY BIRDS AND BEES FOR SEX?... like WTF?What is the story of the birds and the bees?
birds have sex
bees have sex
they both start with ';B';What is the story of the birds and the bees?
It is simply a cultural euphemism. Anyone who explains about sex and reproduction does not actually use bird and bees in their explanation. It is a polite way of saying you are going to have a talk with your child about procreation. It is rarely even done these days in that way, children learn from television, the internet or even school about these things long before most parents have 'the talk'. The phrase was most widely used in the 1940's %26amp; 50's.
Bees don't have sex the way we do, so I dunno why they use that.
I think dogs would be easier to talk about you catch them doing it sometimes.
how can you explain to a Kid about sex without getting in over your head?

Where do bumble bees go in the winter?
In the autumn, young queens mate with male drone bees and hibernate over the winter in a sheltered area, whether in the ground or in a man-made structure. In the early spring, the queen awakens and finds a suitable place to create her colony.Where do bumble bees go in the winter?
i think it depends.. how long do bees live?Where do bumble bees go in the winter?

Why do they call it ';the birds and the bees';?
i'm referring to sexWhy do they call it ';the birds and the bees';?
According to that story, a baby is created when a bee stings a bird. In some cases the choice of birds and bees may be because they provide a ready metaphor for insemination (pollination) and childbirth (hatching). However it may be called the ';birds and the bees'; in that it is simply the facts of nature; many creatures have sexual intercourse: birds, bees, humans, and a huge variety of others. - wikipedia
I asked this question a few weeks ago and someone gave me this wikipedia link. Kind of cleared it up, but still think it isn't the best metaphor I've heard.Why do they call it ';the birds and the bees';?
because they are nature-esk and they sound good together? the nature part represents how sex is natural, and they just chose two little words to make it cute, to represent sex is beautiful?
the ';birds'; symbolize the male unit because both have eggs and ';bees'; is a shortened form of bagina. lol
its an oversimplification in explaining the process of pollination and reproduction... or fertilization and birth!
See.. we are not so different from all the other animals..
because birds and bees are prodigious pollinators (and therefor fertilizerers) of flowers.

Mystery of the dying bees?
Why are the bees dying off? The answer may shock you, if this is true: https://www.kitcomm.com/showthread.php?t=15744
What do you guys make of it?Mystery of the dying bees?
I have put off cutting my lawn for almost a month this spring, due to finding honey bees feeding on the clover flowers and strawberry blossoms. I thought I might give them a little more time to grow and mature, but I can't put it off forever. I really am concerned about this, as well. We need the bees.Mystery of the dying bees?
I find it very scary. We really depend on the bees to pollinate and will lose part of our food source without them.
It is a possibility.
Bees are missing all around the world to the point where bee keepers drive their bee hives to farm land and rent the bees to the farmer for two weeks. The bees pollinate the crops. The bee keeper collects his hives and goes on to the next farm.
At first it was thought to be a virus of some sort. No one knows for sure, but it is very troubling.
unfortunately it is probably true.... i know they modify crops to produce their own resistance to pesticides and herbicides like roundup, so the farmers can crop dust the crops with round up and kill all the weeds but not the crop. the problem is that when you ingest the food , it metabolizes in your digestive process into round up again, and is found in your stool. is there any wonder there is rampant colon cancer? the 5 most modified foods are corn , soy , canola , cotton , one other i cant think of, but they are all used as oils in our food supply. don't eat anything that has those oils in them unless it says organic or ngmo sources.

If you mean the phrase literally, then I learnt about it since I was born. I see bees and birds everywhere.
If you mean the phrase figuratively and how it connects to copulation, then I learnt about it when I was 17 years old.
If you mean this phrase as the famous euphemism, then I learnt it when I was 11 years old.
No, my parents never told me. I learned it from a book, in school, and wikipedia, because I LOVE wikipedia!

No, my best friend %26amp; I were the last awake at her birthday sleepover and when we flipped through the channels we came across skin-imax. So we got out her encyclopedia set and looked up what they kept saying and doing.
13, and no, but my mom did take me to the library checked me out some books, and told me to read them.
I was 11. I sorta knew a little bit but it became clearer when I acutally learned about it and got answers to my questions.
i became interested in it at about 3rd grade(8 years old)

In French, how do you say the birds and the bees?
I don't want to outrightly say sex because I'm discussing something that you use to describe the way someone would say it to a child [many years ago, at least].
She proceeded to tell her daughter about the birds and the bees.
There's got to be another way to say sex non-vulgarly other than 'sex.'
Thanks for your help!In French, how do you say the birds and the bees?
Elle commen莽a 脿 expliquer 脿 sa fille comment on fait les b茅b茅s.
In French, we do not have ';birds and bees';, but faire des b茅b茅s also mean have sexIn French, how do you say the birds and the bees?
How about relations. I don't know how to say it in French though. Sorry.
I dont know
Les origines de la vie.
To tell someone about the birds and the bees:
';expliquer 脿 quelqu'un que les b茅b茅s ne naissent pas dans les choux';
les oiseaux et les abeilles
';comment on fait les b茅b茅s';
or tell them about ';la rose et le chou'; - but that is more telling them a fantasie story instead of the truth. This one is that women are born out of a rose because they are so sweet and men are born out of a cabbage (un chou)....uh... I can't remember anymore why men are supposed to come from a chou! .... LOL!
I agree with Arana. The usual lie was that babies were found in cabbages. A cabbage is large and round and when the leaves were opened, a baby would come out. Hence the expression: les b茅b茅s naissent dans les choux.

I don't have an answer, but I do have some possible insights.
Most other cultures, and certainly the French, are not as prudish as Americans. I am American but grew up overseas, in a Latin culture, and am still often amazed at how prudish Americans are.
Just guessing, but even to a child one would probably say ';sex';. Maybe more scientific, like ';sexual reproduction'; or ';human sexual relations';, or something milder like ';intimacy';, depending on the context.
En fran莽ais, on parle de la petite graine, ou de la rose et du chou...hair ideas

or tell them about ';la rose et le chou'; - but that is more telling them a fantasie story instead of the truth. This one is that women are born out of a rose because they are so sweet and men are born out of a cabbage (un chou)....uh... I can't remember anymore why men are supposed to come from a chou! .... LOL!
I agree with Arana. The usual lie was that babies were found in cabbages. A cabbage is large and round and when the leaves were opened, a baby would come out. Hence the expression: les b茅b茅s naissent dans les choux.

I don't have an answer, but I do have some possible insights.
Most other cultures, and certainly the French, are not as prudish as Americans. I am American but grew up overseas, in a Latin culture, and am still often amazed at how prudish Americans are.
Just guessing, but even to a child one would probably say ';sex';. Maybe more scientific, like ';sexual reproduction'; or ';human sexual relations';, or something milder like ';intimacy';, depending on the context.
En fran莽ais, on parle de la petite graine, ou de la rose et du chou...
Does anyone actually know the full ';The birds and the bees'; story?

Ha, ha. I don't think so. Everyone always refers to it as ';the birds and the bees'; story, but I don't really think there's ever truly been a story.
And birds and bees don't even mate!!! :DDoes anyone actually know the full ';The birds and the bees'; story?
I've never been told it, but it always starts with ';When a mommy and daddy love each other verrryyyyy much...';

Why do they call sex talks ';the birds and the bees';?
what does that have to do with anything lolWhy do they call sex talks ';the birds and the bees';?
A euphemism for sex education, especially when taught informally. For example, It's time Father told the children about the birds and the bees. Cole Porter alluded to this expression in his witty song, ';Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love,'; (1928) when he noted that birds, bees, even educated fleas fall in love. This idiom alludes to sexual behavior in animals to avoid explicit explanation of human behavior. [Second half of 1800s]
According to tradition, the birds and the bees is a metaphorical story sometimes told to children in an attempt to explain the mechanics and consequence of sexual intercourse through reference to easily observed natural events such as plant pollination.
The idiom could date back as far as Shakespeare, from these lines in Act 4, Scene 6 of King Lear:
Thou shalt not die. Die for adultery? No.
The wren goes to't, and the small gilded fly
Does lecher in my sight';
Here, Lear is talking to Gloucester about adultery, telling him that he must not fear being punished for it, as animals do it all the time and it is therefore a natural phenomenon. The link with the second line and the modern day idiom seems to fit, as both regard the subject of copulation, and particularly, copulation in nature. In this case, the wren represents the birds, whilst the ';gilded fly'; may refer to bees; which seem to be flies ';gilded'; with gold stripes.
Word sleuths William and Mary Morris[1] hint that it may have been inspired by words like these from the poet Samuel Coleridge (1825): 'All nature seems at work ... The bees are stirring--birds are on the wing ... and I the while, the sole unbusy thing, not honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.'';[2]
Several sources give credit to Cole Porter for coining the phrase.[3] One of the legendary musician's more famous songs was ';Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love.'; The 1928 standard contains the lyrics:[4]
And that's why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Famous uses of this phrase come from the work of John Burroughs, a naturalist who lived and worked in the Catskills Mountains. He wrote a small pamphlet called ';Birds and Bees: Essays';[5] in which he explained the workings of nature in a way that children could understand. However, birds and bees are dealt with in separate sections; nowhere are they mentioned together. The phrase also had new meaning when it was adopted by singer Jewel Akens in the song, ';The Birds and the Bees';.Why do they call sex talks ';the birds and the bees';?
just a nice way of saying sex infront of the younger siblings that don't know anything about it yet...:D
lol i always wondered that
To confuse the little children.
You haven't seen sex until you've seen birds and bees gettin it on
THE BIRDS AND THE BEES HAVE HOT PASSIONATE SEX.
Birds and bees spread the pollen of flower. This is how flowers ';reproduce';

I opened this question to see the others answers because I don't know either
Why do they call it ';the Birds and the Bees';?
what's up with the codename?Why do they call it ';the Birds and the Bees';?
It has to do with reproduction, pollination and the beginning of new life. In human terms, we call it sex. For plants it is different, it is purely the survival of the species.
Many plants rely on flowers for reproduction and are very dependent on outside help such as insects and animals.The plants are reproduced by the pollen from the female plant or (female part of the plant in case of an asexual plant) being transferred from the feet or feathers of birds and the feet or body of bees to the stigma (or male part). From there fertilization can take place and seeds form to make the new baby plants.
The birds and the bees help to make the babies, without them there would be no more plants of these species and the species would die out.Why do they call it ';the Birds and the Bees';?
A Long time ago, their was this song that started ';Birds do it, Bees do it';

The birds represent the girls I suppose. I suppose the blokes could be called B's sometimes.
Because the Woodcock doesn't speak to the Beavers anymore??
Anyhow, this should answer your question:
The phrase the birds and the bees (sometimes further extended to birds, bees and butterflies) has been common in the language for at least the last couple of centuries to refer in a generalised way to the natural world (do journalists still refer dismissively to the natural-history column in their journals as “the birds-and-bees department”?). The alliteration has undoubtedly helped to make it a satisfactory formulaic expression.

What is the origin of the ';birds and the bees';?'; I don't understand its correlation to sex. Thank you!
This might help.
The significance of the birds and bees isn't what they do, it's simply that they do it, ';it,'; naturally, being a tussle in the tumbleweeds, or wherever it is that the lower orders engage in sex. As such it's the perfect euphemism for a culture so prudish that even publishers of girlie magazines used to airbrush out the pubic hair.
Where exactly ';the birds and the bees'; originated nobody knows, but word sleuths William and Mary Morris hint that it may have been inspired by words like these from the poet Samuel Coleridge: ';All nature seems at work ... The bees are stirring--birds are on the wing ... and I the while, the sole unbusy thing, not honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.'; Making honey, pairing ... yes, we can definitely tell what Sam had on his mind.
The Morrises offer the theory that schools in years past taught about sex by ';telling how birds do it and how bees do it and trusting that the youngsters would get the message by indirection.'; Right. Luckily for the perpetuation of the species, there's always been Louie in the schoolyard to explain how things really worked.What is the origin of the ';birds and the bees';?'; I don't understand its correlation to sex.

It's an old euphemism regarding sex talk (between mother %26amp; daughter or father %26amp; son). Euphemism is a generic word or phrase to replace a socially taboo subject or word.What is the origin of the ';birds and the bees';?'; I don't understand its correlation to sex. Thank you!
It is a reference to the realities of nature, but it is intentionally euphemistic.

So why is it called the birds and the bees? Where did it originate and which is which?
um sounds dumb but I always figured the bees were the guys because bees sting you (penetration) and birds lay eggs (woman giving birth) and seem more femanine.
Thats all Ive got. I never really understood though. My parents just actaully talk to me.So why is it called the birds and the bees? Where did it originate and which is which?
The Cole Porter song is often cited as the source of the phrase but it isn't so.
The true origin of this phrase comes from the work of John Burroughs, a naturalist who lived and worked in the Catskills Mountains. He wrote a small pamphlet called ';Birds and Bees: Essays'; in which he explained how nature worked in a way that children could understand. He talked about how the instinct in nature is to ';build a nest'; or a home and to take care of their young. His work was published by Houghton, Mifflin, Company.So why is it called the birds and the bees? Where did it originate and which is which?
Birds do it
Bees do it
Why don't we do it
Lets do it
Lets fall in Love
Cole Porter sang that about the Birds and Bees back in the 1960's. Yes it's a lame song, but you get the idea.

What was missing from your ';the birds and the bees'; talk when you were a kid?
You know, some little fact or tidbit that should have been elaborated on a little more.What was missing from your ';the birds and the bees'; talk when you were a kid?
Where exactly that damned thing goes...What was missing from your ';the birds and the bees'; talk when you were a kid?
The only thing I was taught about sex was that its sole purpose is for ';making babies';. I also learned a bit about the male and female sex organs. Nobody really told be anything about orgasms and the physical pleasure of it. Ofcourse, there did not exist anything called ';oral sex';. I would not have understood that at that age. My parents never told me about wetdreams for e.g. The first time I had one in my life I was so shocked and ashamed, that I thought I was at fault. Luckily my parents explained it to me then, but they should have told me about it in advance. Thank God, I out grew that stage of life!
Why is called the ';birds and the bees'; anyway?
My Dad brought home a projector and the movie ';Where did I come from?'; and showed it to me on the back of the sliding door to the kitchen.
What was missing from that talk was the bit where ';When Mummy and Daddy Love Each Other Very Much'; became - Can I stick it in your rear; Do you have herpes?; Suck me suck me oh baby suck me; and; Wear a nurse costume for me.
Look, the whole sex talk is fine, it describes the mechanics I guess of the sex act. But hardly ever does someone sit you down and warn you about the fact that its possible your first sex partner will want to get ';Their freak on'; and how to handle that. I mean with all the foreplay expectation whos warning a girl about whether or not he'll get it in her hair or her mouth without telling her, and what to expect if that happens so she doesn't get freaked out or grossed out by sex for life? Who prepares a guy for a girl who likes a little ';stinky pinky'; in his rear end?
When I first had sex I looked back at the where did I come from movie experience and thought to myself: ';Why couldn't they warn me that it would take 15 minutes to get her going'; or ';so hey I wonder if what I smell is normal';.
Perhaps they could all get together in a big room, swap sex stories, get the guy who did the ';Oh Wicked Wanda'; cartoon from penthouse to illustrate it and show kids that?
Or just leave an episode of Sex And The City running while the kids are up and hope that the children don't scream ';Oh my EYES!'; when they see Sarah Jessica Parker.
There's a lot to be said for having a kid hang around with older kids for an hour and coming home using words like ';head'; and ';blow'; and ';doggie style'; without getting all angry.
I'm not trying to be rude here, I really think the SEX part of sex is left out of the whole talk and only the procreation bit left in.
Goodmorning,
Hi....I guess what was missing is my Mother or father never had one with me. lol I find it difficult to talk to my daughter about some tings and she's 14. I have said that of course every parent wants their child to ';wait'; until marriage but the odds of that are not that high. I have told her if she ever feels she's in love and going or thinking of having sex...she needs to come to me and we will have her put on birth control. I do talk about safe sex and being sure of always using a condom as well. She's no where (thankfully) in that game right now. She's had a major crush and they saw each other for a while. (meaning I let the boy come over and watch a movie with her and some friends,talk on the phone..I actually liked the kid...but the boy did break her heart. She's really crushed and she still kind of pines for that boy and it's been 6 months.
I'm sure we all can remember being 14 or 15 and how you feel so ';grown up';. Actually I met my husband when I was 15.
Anyhoo.....I wish I could make my daughter see she's got a whole lifetime ahead of her. I try to instill in her to be sure to have a career as in so you don't have to count on a man financially. She wants to be a teacher and has wanted to since she was 3 or 4. LOL I hope she keeps that dream and also looks at other career and life choices. She's wonderful and I love her so. :)

I never got one. Probably because thats the year my school went crazy with sex ed! I never learned to sew because of them telling me how to have sex. What they forgot was they already told us the same thing in 5th grade however felt they needed to tell us again in 7th because on of my class mates got pregnant! I really wish I knew how to sew!
it was me and my brother, he was 2 years older ( mom was divorced and doing it all) anyway i just started laughing as if someone was tickling the hell out of me, so i was asked to leave. so i was the one thing that was missing
i actually never got that talk i had a friend in elementary school that told me evrything i needed to know. when my dad asked if i knew where babies come from i told him and he was alright with it. over the years ive learned alot more but NOt from my parents.

The whole ';birds and bees'; talk itself was missing...my parents were too uptight and uncomfortable to even approach the subject with any of us... I basically learned stuff from friends, the media and Sex Education in school.
The entire talk actually, mom just thought movies would teach me what I needed to know
too bad I watched nothing but comedy and horror...I always thought some homicidal manic would come and kill me if I had sex
nothing I knew everything even before the talk.
My parents said this:
'There are birds and bees. The birds lay eggs and the bees bring pollen. I'm a bee. Your mum's a bird. When you grow up, you'll be a bird. Anyway... Then they have sex.'
So traumatizing...
2 biggies
how much fun and enjoyment you can get from it
that its alright to self pleasure
it seems dads have a tuff time talking about these things
The whole penetration part. My mom spent forever telling me I would get my period but failed to tell me why or what purpose that would serve me later in life!
Everything. I never got that talk
I never had that talk, so everything.
The entire convo was missing.
I never got that talk, but by the age of ELEVEN i had the sickest mind of all time. Hm.
everything
i was told nothing by my parents
The whole talk....lol
I was raised by my grandparents so we never talked about sex...
When one of my mates got pregnant at 14, I knew to not have sex...hahahaha...I learnt stuff by what happened to my friends and by what they told me
Periods, and the discomfort of your first time. Seriously, if they want kids to avoid sex, they shouldtell them about that part; that would have put me off for a couple more years!
Everything. Grrls taught me.
The whole conversation.
The ';Talk'; bit!LOL but sussed it out by trial and error!:-)
There was no birds and bees talk, I had to find out the hard way...oops! No pun intended...= )
the fact that it wasnt actually talking about birds and bees would have helpped a whole lot
the intercourse part
i never had the talk, figured it out at school and on the internet
The whole talk. My parents were a little repressed on that front.

'There are birds and bees. The birds lay eggs and the bees bring pollen. I'm a bee. Your mum's a bird. When you grow up, you'll be a bird. Anyway... Then they have sex.'
So traumatizing...
2 biggies
how much fun and enjoyment you can get from it
that its alright to self pleasure
it seems dads have a tuff time talking about these things
The whole penetration part. My mom spent forever telling me I would get my period but failed to tell me why or what purpose that would serve me later in life!
Everything. I never got that talk
I never had that talk, so everything.
The entire convo was missing.
I never got that talk, but by the age of ELEVEN i had the sickest mind of all time. Hm.
everything
i was told nothing by my parents
The whole talk....lol
I was raised by my grandparents so we never talked about sex...
When one of my mates got pregnant at 14, I knew to not have sex...hahahaha...I learnt stuff by what happened to my friends and by what they told me
Periods, and the discomfort of your first time. Seriously, if they want kids to avoid sex, they shouldtell them about that part; that would have put me off for a couple more years!
Everything. Grrls taught me.
The whole conversation.
The ';Talk'; bit!LOL but sussed it out by trial and error!:-)
There was no birds and bees talk, I had to find out the hard way...oops! No pun intended...= )
the fact that it wasnt actually talking about birds and bees would have helpped a whole lot
the intercourse part
i never had the talk, figured it out at school and on the internet
The whole talk. My parents were a little repressed on that front.
Why do people call it 'the birds and bees' talk?
i know everything about that..
but why do people call it birds and bees?
couldnt they come up with a better name?Why do people call it 'the birds and bees' talk?
I though most people knew this, but.....
It's because birds and bees are both ways that pollen can be transferred from flower to flower, because that is the only way certain flowers can reproduce.
Birds and bees are how flowers reproduce, so when people talk about explaining the birds and bees, they are explaining how people reproduce.Why do people call it 'the birds and bees' talk?
Wow. I never really thought about that. haha.
I looked it up and this is it: birds are free to fly wherever they like, but bees are enslaved to a single queen their entire life and their whole life is dedicated to keeping her alive. Bees pollinate flowers, birds spread the seed, men impregnate eggs, women give birth.
haha that's kinda funny.
ok i asked my mom the same thing the bird has a hole and the bees have a stinger so the bees stinger connect with bird hole not trying to be nasty!!!!!
We always though it was because ';birds'; is another word for girls - and men have stingers, lol
That looks silly written down. My husband laughed at me when I told him.
I'm sure that when the birds and the bees ';slang'; came out it was even before my time and back in those days people really didn't talk about sex.
Dude, I know, I don't get that either. I mean WTF do birds and bees have to do with how babies are made?
way back in the 50's its a clean way of saying sex bees sniff flower .. flower grows. back than you cant say sex to loud ask your mama or grand ma
*STAR*
i want to know to...maybe because bees use stingers
LOL i don't know
cuz of this.

the bee has a stinger
lol i don't know im geussing
I AGREE WITH U I WANTED TO KNO THE SAME THING

it's near the end, probably one of the last 3 chapters. This is after she finds out the truth about her mother and goes on a rampage.

Why Albert Einstein told that after the bees dies, the mankind will last only 4 years ?
Without the bees plants/flowers/trees will not be pollinated and would die out.
Without plants/flowers/trees no food.
No food everything dies.Why Albert Einstein told that after the bees dies, the mankind will last only 4 years ?
isn't it something to do with the food chain and the pollination of flowers.Why Albert Einstein told that after the bees dies, the mankind will last only 4 years ?
Wow I've never heard that before, it does make a lot of sense though. That's kind of worrying as I hardly ever see any bees around nowadays - even though I can remember seeing loads of them as a child. Very sad. :-/
That is interesting if he did say that. There is massive panic among bee-keepers in the USA as who's honeybee hives are dying out across the USA enmasse... a billion $ industry and what is the cause hasn't been identified... and apparently it is serious enough for top White House politicians to be closely monitoring the situation.
My guess would be that bees are what is known as an indicator species. The numbers of an indicator species, for example frogs, can be used as a measure of the health of an entire ecosystem.
my guess would be that bees are resposible for pollenating the vast majority of mankind's food supply (vegetative anyway)
he was lucky he did not land in canada to became loser same as many PHD immigrant
the guys above are right
It's not true about pollination, Many birds and thousands of other species of insect pollinate plants. I think Einstein was using it as a metaphor, that it doesn't take much to tip the balance of nature and Humankind will be in deep shite.hair ideas

Can synecdoche set you free, allow you to fly with the birds and the bees?

If you are using this figure of speech in a literary genre, it will allow you to fly with birds and bees, even butterflies too.Can synecdoche set you free, allow you to fly with the birds and the bees?
no using synecdoche makes you a better poet, that is all. Im a metonymy man myself.

Has Anyone Tried the Burt's Bees Shampoos/Conditioners?
Has anyone here tried to Burt's Bees shampoos and conditioners? They sound real good, full of honey and oils and such, all natural products, no sulfate or anything like that. They're like 8-9 buck a bottle though, so I was wondering if it was worth itHas Anyone Tried the Burt's Bees Shampoos/Conditioners?
I like burts bees lip balm, and almond lotion, and a few other choice items, but its really a hit and miss on the hair products. Ive used many because i had a friend who sold it so i got so many gift bags it isnt funny.
I really didnt like it. For the price, i would rather my hair smell like a good salon rather then ';rosemary peppermint leaf'; or anything like that. like i said some things are ok and its fun to try because its mostly natural.But the shampoos and face cleaners i would stay away from. Theyre not the greatestHas Anyone Tried the Burt's Bees Shampoos/Conditioners?
It is good. I have been trying the Burt's Bees' Very Volumizing, Promegrante %26amp; Soy.
The only hindsight to this product is, it does tend to leave the hair a bit too dry but if conditioner is used, the hair tends to become oily the very next day!
But damage wise, it is lesser then the other shampoos and the hair is helathier.

I have just heard of the Master Cleanser. Could i substitute the Grade B maple syrup with honey made by bees?
nope.
you can read the Master Cleanser original text by Stanley Burroughs here:
http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/7244/master_cleanse.html
an extract from the book:
--------------------
WHAT ABOUT THE USE OF HONEY?
Honey must not be used at any time internally. It is manufactured from the nectar picked up from the flowers by the bees鈥攇ood enough in itself, perhaps鈥攖hen predigested, vomited and stored for their own future use with a preservative added. It is deficient in calcium and has many detrimental effects for the human being.
According to one authority, honey is ';a magical and mystical word in Healthfoodland. It is one of the most overpromoted, overpriced product being sold to gullible health foodists. The great value attributed to honey is delusive鈥oney is only a little less empty and more dangerous than sugar.';
Just as with alcohol, honey, being predigested, enters the blood directly, raising the sugar content very rapidly above normal. To correct this, the pancreas must produce insulin immediately or possible death can occur. More insulin than necessary is likely to be produced, and the blood sugar level then drops below normal. This can produce blackout spells and even death if it goes to low. When blood sugar is below normal, a person will feel depressed. The regular use of honey can create constant imbalances wich in turn will adversely affect the normal function of the liver, pancreas and spleen. Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia are the results of the use of unbalanced sugars. The balanced sugar in maple syrup and sugar can juice causes no dangerous side effects. Artificial, synthetic, and refined sugars have no place in a natural diet.
-------------------------
good luck with the detox!I have just heard of the Master Cleanser. Could i substitute the Grade B maple syrup with honey made by bees?
Yes, honey is better than refined sugar, at least, for the Master Cleanser diet. But better still would be sugar-free maple syrup.I have just heard of the Master Cleanser. Could i substitute the Grade B maple syrup with honey made by bees?
I read not to use honey. Grade B Maple Syrup is where you get all the minerals.

Can my 13 year old daughter see the movie '; Secret life of bees'; is it an adult film can I let her watch it?
Its rated PG-13 so yes she can see it.
Its not an adult film. Its for people 13 and over.Can my 13 year old daughter see the movie '; Secret life of bees'; is it an adult film can I let her watch it?
I have seen that movie, i think it would be acceptable, but it depends on her maturity level.
If she is one of those thirteen year olds who still wear their hair in piggy tails, giggle when ever a boy walks past them and whose mother still shops for her and buys her pink flared leg jeans and she wears them without a complaint, or worry, then no. She shouldn't watch it, because there are some adult themes in it, but it is a fantastic movie
xoCan my 13 year old daughter see the movie '; Secret life of bees'; is it an adult film can I let her watch it?
It couldn't be too adult- my english teacher had a bunch of 15 and 16 year olds reading the book.
If she's begging you to let her read it, and yall have access to a public library, borrow the secret life of bees book.
As seeing that she is 13 and its rated pg13 you should let her watch it.
And it is not an adult film. you should just look up movie ratings on it if you are so worried
Don't worry, it's not an 'adult film'. I think it's PG-13. We watched it in school and I thought it was really good. It does has some violence in it though.
That depends. How mature enough is your daughter to watch an adult film? I've never heard of the film but at her age I was mature enough to look beyond anything in adult films.
I'd def. let her see it! its an awesome movie! as long as shes mature enough! so it really depends on your daughter!
dude, she's thirteen.
she should be able to watch whatever.
Let her see it. Its a great movie.
Yes it is suitable I think

yea! its a good movie and theres nothing bad about it!! let her =]

Outdoor wedding...what can I use to protect the cake from bugs/bees?
Our wedding is in a couple weeks. It will be held outdoors and I'm worried that flies and bees will get to the cake before we get around to cutting it.
It will be out for about an hour before it is cut. Any suggestions on what to use to protect it?
It is a stacked 3-tiered cake, not too big - for 100 people.Outdoor wedding...what can I use to protect the cake from bugs/bees?
A friend of mine did something like this: http://www.weddingbee.com/wp-content/upl鈥?/a>
She had her wedding in Hawaii and the bugs were awful, so the venue provided a canopy (they're used to it, I guess) and it was quite pretty. It looked like a regular Pier One mosquito netting canopy, but they'd sewn ivory ribbons on to trail from the frame clear down to the hem. They used an offset umbrella stand - http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I鈥?/a> - but you could use a tree branch or whatever as well.Outdoor wedding...what can I use to protect the cake from bugs/bees?
While Citronella candles may help keep bugs away, you want to be careful that the cake doesn't absorb the ';flavor'; of Citronella or anything else you might put down. And the use of a net is going to take away from the beauty of your net and annoy anyone who wants to take pictures of it. The best thing you can probably do is treat the grass (or ask the venue to if you don't have the ability) with a mosquito repellent spray at least a day before the wedding OR use some Dr. T's granules that can be sprinkled on the grass around any area that you don't want mosquitoes. You can find some good products at yardiac.com.
I hope it's not going to be too hot out for your cake to be outdoors during the whole reception. :-| If you must keep it out, you can try lighting some citronella candles around the table where you're going to put the cake. Those keep bugs away. You can also try those torches that most ppl use for luau type parties.
I hope I helped.
You can contact a yard professional or an exterminator for advice as well as your baker.
There is something (I am sorry I don't know what it is) that was sprayed on the ground of an outdoor event that we went to to keep pests away.
It was sprayed many hours before the event into the grass and it worked tremendously and there was no ';tell tale'; smell.
A beautifully draped white tulle over the cake would be pretty as well.
Good Luck and congratulations!
If you're able to place the in a gazebo or something with a celing, you could hang a pretty mosquito net to drap around the cake while it's just sitting about. Maybe even place a few citronella candles around the net as well?
Here's a couple pics:
http://img1.tradeget.com/shuyamarket/ONG鈥?/a>
http://cdn.overstock.com/images/products鈥?/a>
Hopefully you are having fondant frosting rather than buttercreme, cuz otherwise you won't have to worry about the bugs, you'll have to worry about a melted cake!
Maybe your baker has some ideas, or your venue has some screens or something... or maybe it can be brought out later, right before it's ready to be cut...
Good luck! :)
Make a loose tent of sorts out of tulle fabric, but don't let the fabric touch the cake.
You could get something like the netting/canopy they use to decoratively hang over beds. Here's an example of what I mean: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.鈥?/a>
I wouldn't recommend citronella candles as they are toxic and the fragrance may taint the cake.
Good luck!
ask the baker what they suggest
maybe a large box flipped over on top, you can wrap it in paper to make it look a bit nicer
maybe use a small screened in tent and put in on a table inside it
You could try spraying RAID all over it. I think that would keep all the bugs away from it.

The Birds and the Bees Talk to a 10 Yr Old.?
I have a 10 year old daughter who is very mature for her age and is really starting to notice boys. Does anyone have any good websites or books that I can read so that I can prepare for the most appropriate conversation with her. Thanks!The Birds and the Bees Talk to a 10 Yr Old.?
Speak from the heart, be honest and answer her questions . Sex and the human body is not dirty when it is done how God created it. My 4 yr old has asked me birds and bees questions and I answer them. I speak in terms she can understand. if you dont tell her in a few years you will have some boy showing her. if you make it an open topic its less of an issue. trust me.The Birds and the Bees Talk to a 10 Yr Old.?
Usually attentive parents begin talking to their children about morals, values and health issues from the time they are toddlers.
You need to build on the conversations that have been on-going from day one. Talk to your librarian for suggestions.
Don't give tons of information, be honest, but answer her questions as simply as possible. Sometimes, if we go into too much detail, the child wants something basic and simple.
www.kidshealth.org
It has excellent info for parents and kids and teens.
I don't think you should read any books, i think you should have her ask questions and answer them in the least graphic manner that you can. if she's old enough to ask the question, you really need to answer it, truthfully.
speak from the heart and give her all the info you can find. lots of parenting places (like american girl books) i'm a teenaged girl with a single dad and's it's really awkward so just talk to her and you'll get the hang of this also you should get her some books for her to read such as:
the body book for girls
a smart girls guide to guys
a smart girls guide to friends
the real beauty
hope i helped!
Any conversation you have with your children regarding sex, oh, I mean code word ';birds and the bees';, should be honest and open...
Start with asking her what she knows already...Answer ALL her questions even if they shock you a bit...I think you would be suprised to see what kids already know when you think you are getting to them first.
Most of all do not shame or belittle her. Young girl should be taught that those special part of their bodies are reserved for there husbands and for having children with him when the time is right. And that they are not for eveyone.
Talk about the future...Some great books for understanding female reproduction and cycles for when that time comes is Taking CHarge of your Fertility...NO it is not just a book about getting and not getting pregnant, but it teaches women how to understand what their body is telling them. I would read over it first and teach from what you learn.
Open and honest should be the goal here. Good luck.
i think you should wait another year because she probably has started puberty but she really isn't all into puberty so just wait 1 more year.

The school your child is at might also teach them about these things in a few years time, so you could ask your teachers and Parents and Teacher Night about these issues.
just speak from the heart but not with a lot information
I have 11 year old twin girls and we started talking about the birds and the bees around their 10th birthday and thank God we did because about two weeks after their 11 birthday one of them started her period at summer camp. I found a good book that explains a lot that you can read with your daughter and then you can answer any questions she might have. It is called The Care %26amp; Keeping of You The Body Book for Girls and it is from the AmericanGirl Library, this book covers things like basic hair care, acne, skin care, mouth eyes and ear care, what happens when you get breasts and how to get the right bra, and shaving, then it also cover things on eating disorders, nutrition, and the body shapes and sizes, and then it goes over things like having periods, and getting hair down there and then things like fitness and sleep habits. It also talks a little about feeling that girls may have when going through the changes. this book will give you a good base to start on and then you can fill in the other areas that you think she needs to know about.
Speak from the heart, be honest and answer her questions . Sex and the human body is not dirty when it is done how God created it. My 4 yr old has asked me birds and bees questions and I answer them. I speak in terms she can understand. if you dont tell her in a few years you will have some boy showing her. if you make it an open topic its less of an issue. trust me.The Birds and the Bees Talk to a 10 Yr Old.?
Usually attentive parents begin talking to their children about morals, values and health issues from the time they are toddlers.
You need to build on the conversations that have been on-going from day one. Talk to your librarian for suggestions.
Don't give tons of information, be honest, but answer her questions as simply as possible. Sometimes, if we go into too much detail, the child wants something basic and simple.

Is it true that bees possess the ability to count?
By counting their steps in a little dance they do to communicate where nectar is a far distance away.Is it true that bees possess the ability to count?
G'day Sam,
Thanks for your question.
Yes they can. At least up to 4. All with the brain the size of a grain of sand.
I have attached a source for your reference.
RegardsIs it true that bees possess the ability to count?
Bees can count, but after ';four'; they start to become less and less reliable.
But their mathematical abilities aren't restricted to counting. Bees can calculate (relatively) vast distances. They can also predict, numerically and spatially, patterned placements of food sources. Scientists would put honey at one point during the morning, then the next morning at the same time they would move the honey a set distance. After a short while, the bees could predict where the food would be the next day, as they would be waiting at the honey spot without the honey actually being there yet.
Bees can also tell if another bee is drunk (they like fruity and mixed drinks) and they assign ';bouncers'; in every hive that will escort drunk bees out of the hive until they sober up. Not part of your question, but related, I'd say. :)

What will BEE the out come if the worlds population of BEES die off?
Sorry dude, we just won't have honey any more. Plants can still be pollinated by other insects and even small birds. But the lovely taste of real bee fecies will be lost for all time!What will BEE the out come if the worlds population of BEES die off?
ZERO!What will BEE the out come if the worlds population of BEES die off?
we will no longer have trees, plants, fruits, veggies....etc. basically we will die off as well.
The only outcome from bees dying out would be no honey. Unless ur one of dose people who get accupuncture with the stingers... then u lose ur accupuncture. But there are still other animals that pollinate the trees and they can be pollinated by the wind so we wont lose ne plants er flowers.

Does anyone know wher the phrase ';the birsd and the bees'; came from?
birds+bees=babys? somthing is wrong with this math.Does anyone know wher the phrase ';the birsd and the bees'; came from?
hey brad im on ur messenger list and could really use the points its a song it goes like this let me tell ya bout the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees and the moon up above and a thing called love let me tell ya bout the moon in the sky and a girl and a guy and the way they would kiss on a night like this when i look into ur n big brown eyes ......................email me for the restDoes anyone know wher the phrase ';the birsd and the bees'; came from?

%26gt;According to some, the birds and the bees is a metaphorical story sometimes told to children in an attempt to explain the mechanics and consequence of sexual intercourse. According to that story the birds are like men and the bees like women: Birds are free to fly wherever they like, but bees are enslaved to a single queen their entire life and their whole life is dedicated to keeping her alive. Bees pollinate flowers, birds spread the seed, men impregnate eggs, women give birth. Sex is key for survival of both.
%26gt; A poem by Samuel Coleridge: ';All nature seems at work ... The bees are stirring--birds are on the wing ... and I the while, the sole unbusy thing, not honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.';
Im not sure, but my guess is
from our ancetors long long ago, they were....well lets say different, so they came up with birds and the bees.
So now days when aduts confront children about sex, instead of coming out with it they say the birds and the bees and so on.

How does the story about the birds and the bees go? I know what its supposed to teach but...?
....Ive only ever heard about it mostly in movies and on television but they never actually tell the story, it teaches about reproduction right? How does the story go?How does the story about the birds and the bees go? I know what its supposed to teach but...?
Check this out:
The birds and the bees'; (sometimes expanded to ';the birds, the bees and the butterflies'; or ';the birds, the bees, the flowers, and the trees';) is an idiomatic expression which refers to courtship and sex, and is usually used in reference to teaching someone about sex and pregnancy. The phrase is evocative of the metaphors and euphemisms often used to avoid speaking openly and technically about the subject.
According to some, the birds and the bees is a metaphorical story sometimes told to children in an attempt to explain the mechanics and consequence of sexual intercourse. According to that story, a baby is created when a bee stings a bird. In some cases the choice of birds and bees may be because they provide a ready metaphor for insemination (pollination) and childbirth (hatching). However it may be called the ';birds and the bees'; in that it is simply the facts of nature; many creatures have sexual intercourse: birds, bees, humans, and a huge variety of others.
';Word sleuths William and Mary Morris hint that it may have been inspired by words like these from the poet Samuel Coleridge: 'All nature seems at work ... The bees are stirring--birds are on the wing ... and I the while, the sole unbusy thing, not honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.' ';

Why is the spelling contest called spelling bee? Do bees have anything to do with it?
The word bee, as used in spelling bee, is a language puzzle that has never been satisfactorily accounted for. A fairly old and widely-used word, it refers to a community social gathering at which friends and neighbors join together in a single activity (sewing, quilting, barn raising, etc.), usually to help one person or family. The earliest known example in print is a spinning bee, in 1769. Other early occurrences are husking bee (1816), apple bee (1827), and logging bee (1836). Spelling bee is apparently an American term. It first appeared in print in 1875, but it seems certain that the word was used orally for several years before that.
Those who used the word, including most early students of language, assumed that it was the same word as referred to the insect. They thought that this particular meaning had probably been inspired by the obvious similarity between these human gatherings and the industrious, social nature of a beehive. But in recent years scholars have rejected this explanation, suggesting instead that this bee is a completely different word. One possibility is that it comes from the Middle English word bene, which means ';a prayer'; or ';a favor'; (and is related to the more familiar word boon). In England, a dialectal form of this word, been or bean, referred to ';voluntary help given by neighbors toward the accomplishment of a particular task.'; (Webster's Third New International Dictionary). Bee may simply be a shortened form of been, but no one is entirely certain.Why is the spelling contest called spelling bee? Do bees have anything to do with it?

Why is the spelling contest called spelling bee? Do bees have anything to do with it?
The earliest evidence of the phrase spelling bee in print dates back to 1825, although the contests had apparently been held before that year. (The etymology of the word ';bee'; in this sense is unclear. Historically, it has described a social congregation where a specific action is being carried out, like a husking bee, or an apple bee.)
Metaphorically, referring to the fact that bees function together socially:
';In allusion to the social character of the insect (originally in U.S.): A meeting of neighbours to unite their labours for the benefit of one of their number; e.g. as is done still in some parts, when the farmers unite to get in each other's harvests in succession; usually preceded by a word defining the purpose of the meeting, as apple-bee, husking-bee, quilting-bee, raising-bee, etc. Hence, with extended sense: A gathering or meeting for some object; esp. spelling-bee, a party assembled to compete in the spelling of words. lynching bee';
Yes, 'bee' was the first word in history to be misspelled. Someone spelled it 'B' trying to be cute in 1776.
In 1850 when they tried to correct their mistake, they tried, 'be'. But that was wrong.
A committee was formed in 1941 at the start of WWII and a competition was held. It was composed of all women, since the men had been drafted.
The female mastermind Bea Este Masters took home the prize of 50 jars of honey with her correct spelling of 'bee'. Hence, the 'Spelling Bea' was coined, named after her. And people have been misspelling the event ever since.

I was never told about it.... discovered it on my own through media and books. And yes even as a kid.... I figured out what sex was all about....
I mostly learnt from television and books. I was of the time when parents did not speak of such things to their children.
I made sure I talked about everything with my own daughter.
My mother explained the birds and the bees to me by telling me how bees pollunate flowers. Then she got a book out and read it to me, it was about how chickens lay eggs and then eggs develop in to chiicks. She also made mention of how the neighborhood male dog would come by once in awhile to visit our female dog leaving her pregnant and alone. Yes you would think this would scar me. Did I tell you my mom is Roman Catholic.
I learned through my Parents and books my Parents gave me and then I learned it all over again in school.
As for how I came to be...
I got the typical ';when two people love each other'; story.
That and this really good book with pictures in it that looked like paper cut outs and it showed how dogs and people and even flowers pro-create.
I wasn't given any fairytales, like the stork. When I asked, my parents told me. When I was very young, it was age appropriate, and as I got older, they got more specific.
I grew up on a farm. There was no room for a tall story, it was right there in front of us.

I just love your questions!
Let them Watch TV
(thats how i figured it out )
How do you explain the birds and the bees to a child as my cousin has just turned 12 & started asking me?
I explained to my ten year old a month ago.
I sat her down and gave her the facts in a straight forward way. Mentioned love, pleasure, babies and being careful.
Afterwards I said she could always ask if she needed to know more and she had one question:
Where do the birds and bees come in to it?How do you explain the birds and the bees to a child as my cousin has just turned 12 %26amp; started asking me?
My wife bought a book for my 10 yr old son, which shows all the shpaes, sizes and bits of both males and females, where if you're old enough and mature enough you read and absorb.
My 10yr old was embarrassed and put the book aside, but my 5 yr old daughter thought it was really interesting and she now knows how to make a baby !How do you explain the birds and the bees to a child as my cousin has just turned 12 %26amp; started asking me?
Tell your cousin everything. If you don't s/he will look for the wrong answer somewhere else. Also mention it to your aunt and uncle. I personally think they should have had this conversation with your cousin a lot earlier than 12.
Not at 12 it's too young
I think many people suffer because adults dont respect the straight questions a child has, which just need a straight answer. Get a good book and if his parents agree go through it with him/her, or ask his/her parents to do this. Out in the open is my motto, but be sensitive and caring.
never understood it myself, surely the bird would get stung
These days, 12 does seem a little late to begin asking questions. My daughter is only 7 and has already picked up bits and bobs of information about 'where the babies come from'! I don't think that there is a particular age and that we, as adults, should answer a child's questions with straightforward, truthful answers.
In this case though, I would say that you should speak with your Aunt or Uncle because they may want to tell your cousin about it in a different way. I agree with someone else who said, they should have already told him/her about these things already!
Get him some porn.
It is the responsibility of your Uncle and Aunt to be the one to explain it. If your cousin asks you, let your Aunt and Uncle know that questions are being asked. That would be the right thing to do, and not take the responsibility upon yourself.
Be honest and answer anything they ask without making a big issue out of it....its a shame its still such a taboo subject...12 is a little late to start asking (they probably already know some jumbled facts from friends)
start by using the correct terminology,never did quite understand the birds and bees description?
well kiddo, some birds like bees, some bees like birds, other birds fly after birds, some bees buzz for other bees, then there are those bees that buzz for bees and birds, and birds that fly for both bees and birds... then there are birds that get changed to bees so they can buzz and there are some bees that get transformed into birds so they can fly...
you could beat around the bush, and get yourself in a right pickle , or do your homework, learn the facts, get hold of some diagrams (decent ones) and give it to them straight.
failing that, tell them to ask mummy or daddy, but your turn will come one day!
Well they both have wings but one has feathers and the other has short hairs.
Ur cousion should have done sex education at primary schhol when he was 11.
Are there not books on that sort of thing aimed at pre-teens? Probably worth talking it through with your aunt first though - you wouldn't wish to overstep the mark.
tell him to go ask his mom/dad
if you tell him something that his parents don't want him to know they could get really mad

What do bees do with the pollen of the Flowers after they take it?
Pollen foraging insects use it for food. Both bees and beetles consume large quantities of pollen as their protein source. The plants actively seeking these pollination partners signal the presence of pollen by vision and scent cues. Bright yellow food guides (marks on the petals) and showy stamens advertise pollen as a food source. Pollen also has a scent separate from the rest of the flower so the insect is guided to plants offering pollen as a reward for pollination.

http://www.jstor.org/pss/2446264
Bees pack the pollen into cakes in little leg pockets to transport to the hive. Once bees return to the hive they make royal jelly out of some of the pollen while some is stored directly in wax cells as bee bread (pollen cakes mixed with honey as preservative).
http://www.betterbee.com/resources/gloss鈥?/a>What do bees do with the pollen of the Flowers after they take it?
The bees mix the pollen grains with a sticky substance that is secreted from their stomachs, which allows the pollen to adhere to their rear legs in ';pollen baskets'; in order to safely transport it to their hives.

Where does the expression ';Thats the bees knees'; come from ? Do bees really have knees ?
David, you have to let me know when you find out. Honestly, I don't know the etymology. I do know it's 1920's Flapper slang. It's never been fully explained to my satisfaction in print because everyone from back then is either dead or on their way to being so. I studied the '20's a lot, till no positive I.D. It's like the Mexican slang word ' gringo.' I still don't know what that means either. And that's over a hundred fifty years old. If you ask a Mexican you'll get vague responses that don't ring true either. It can be desultory or a term of raw endearment. Sorry, man.Where does the expression ';Thats the bees knees'; come from ? Do bees really have knees ?
Thanks, Dave. Twenty three skiddoo.....if that means what I think it means. Report Abuse
Where does the expression ';Thats the bees knees'; come from ? Do bees really have knees ?
The Jazz Age in America, during the 1920's...just a snappy little phrase that rhymes...quite shocking after a time of such formal language usage. And no, bees have no knees...and cat's don't wear pajamas.
I think it comes form the word business. The saying that for example, 'in this new dress I looked the bees knees' may mean that in this new dress I really looked the business as in I really looked like a model or something... I think, but I'm not sure. BusiNess if you say it with longer wovels then you'll get bees knees
it comes from the same frase as ';The Dogs Bollock`s '; this is the modern day equivilent to the bees knees which is ryming slang .
