    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.

    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.

    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.

    You are 3,000% better at pronunciation than all of UA-cam . I give obvious foreign based channels a pass on some pronunciations but there are so many bad channels out there. I run UA-cam 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.😊

    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.

    Was at a dive bar for a birthday party a number of years ago. An older woman in our party wanted to do a karaoke version of Joplin's classic "Mercedes Benz"; the last song she would record before her death. The problem was (still is), is that one can't do a karaoke version of Mercedes Benz (the only other noise in the song besides her voice is Joplin banging her foot on the floor of the recording studio.) Tried informing her (and everyone else at our table of this, but was ignored.) So, she gets up on stage, the lady running the karaoke machine that night then found some other song with the same title, the machine did its job and removed the words to that tune, and, well sir, the disaster began. She's singing "Oh lord, won't you buy me....., the music to some song that not one of us had ever heard was playing and the whole thing was quite the mess.

    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."
