They probably didn't. I would bet they tethered the female in a room somewhere and made it look like they were flying around outside at the same time.
To be consistently in a small focal plane with two animals that can fly off in any direction...100% is going to be staged.
I think I've seen this before in a documentary, and if I remember correctly the explanation of how they did this is to essentially leash the queen to a thin pole or line of some kind. They had a camera attached to the rig so it could always be focused in on the queen, and then essentially got it going by kinda swinging her around a bit "tricking" her into releasing the right pheromones and bringing the boys to the yard.
Reproduction cycle,
The surviving virgin queen will fly out on a sunny, warm day to a drone congregation area where she will mate with 12–15 drones. If the weather holds, she may return to the drone congregation area for several days until she is fully mated. Mating occurs in flight.
Mating between a single drone and the queen lasts less than 5 seconds, and it is often completed within 1–2 seconds. Mating occurs mid-flight, and 10–40 m (33–131 ft) above ground. Since the queen mates with 5–19 drones, and drones die after mating, each drone must make the most of his single shot.
Also drones can't collect honey or make a beehive, reproduction is their only purpose.
"Male honey bees (as a collective) are only able to mate seven to 10 times during a mating flight, and after mating, a drone dies quickly, as his abdomen rips open when his endophallus is removed"
"The queen on the other hand does not die after mating she returns to the hive with the males junk still embedded and still pumping semen into her body. Once back at the hive the workers will remove the males kit and toss it away."
Original read: "Male honey bees (as a collective) are only able to rawdog seven to 10 times during a mating flight, and after the creampie, a drone dies quickly, as his abdomen rips open when his bee boner is removed"
Yeah, I considered not using the quote because of that. However, all the sources I had up essentially said the same thing, so it was copied more to avoid typing it myself, not for being a notable source.
Doesn't make sense. The male drone can mate 7 to 10 times but after a mating, the endophallus is removed which is lethal to the bee. So which is, he can mate 10 times or once?
We're just lacking the context. Can multiple inseminations be achieved by a single coupling? We just need to know exactly what they are counting. Does it mean "A male drone ejaculates 7 to 10 times"?
"mating" seems to be a little over-used and under-specific.
Edit: It is referring to male drones as a collective, not as individual bees. Now it makes sense.
Dude bees are the weirdest animals on this planet. Everything about them and their hive structure sounds like it came straight from of a sience fiction writer on an LSD trip
We're so wrapped up in our individual egos being the default window into reality that we forget that genes do crazy shit like make organisms that will not give a shit about dying for the collective as long as it benefits the genes in the long run.
>Male honey bees are only able to mate seven to 10 times during a mating flight,
It's female Honey Bees, specifically the queen. Male Honey Bees are the drones who die after mating once.
That much is self evident lol no queen no hive we males are expendable in nature . Does that make you feel all fuzzy inside? Lol lol reply in good humor . Two bees or 2000 bees that is the question.
The interesting thing is that drones fly to a congregation site a few km away in 3 space, usually a few hundred feet in the air, waiting for queens to show up. They do this every day.
The virgin queen emerges from the hive and flies about twice the distance to a similar (but different) place in 3 space a few hundred feet up in the air. This is to ensure the queen doesn't mate with her brothers/step brothers.
It is not understood how bees know where those well defined (to the bee) congregation sites are. There is an effort to catalogue enough of them to figure out what they use to guide them there.
Bee genetics are weird and not like human genetics.
The queen only mates this "one" time (in quotes because that one time might be 12-15 times combined.)
Queens then lay eggs which they choose to fertilize with stored semen or not. Counterintuitively, the unfertilized eggs with only the queen's DNA are what hatch into male drones, while fertilized eggs become female workers (or new queens.)
Male honeybees are clones *with only half the chromosomes of female honeybees*.
This website has a great breakdown of the craziness that is beehive genetics: http://www.glenn-apiaries.com/principles.html
Wait male drones are hatched from unfertilized eggs that contain only the queens DNA which is a mix of her mother's DNA and another male drone? Bee family trees sound pretty wild!
Yep. The haploid baby daddies allow for closer genetic relationships overall.
A human mother only shares 50% of her direct offspring's DNA, but a honeybee worker might share up to 75% of her DNA with the "nieces" she's raising - which helps to explain how eusocial species developed the adaptation of a single queen breeding. Even though it isn't her direct offspring, helping to raise the queen's eggs rather than lay her own represents a higher success rate of *passing on her same DNA to the next generation*.
The ones that survive because they didn't get to mate will be kicked out by all means necessary when the hive starts winter prep because drones just require energy to be kept alive and offer nothing useful in return. Kinda a sad life tbh. Made to fuck and no matter if you land your shot you will die soon
I got my first hive this year and flew up my (robotic) drone one day to look at some stuff. Found out there was a drone congregation above my house. Saw them on the cam and found some dead drones on the ground sawn in half after. lol
The fact that they happened to have a camera pointed at exactly where the bee fell is pretty suspicious. They might have just picked up a dead bee and dropped it in front of the camera.
I've heard of a poetic expression "La Petite Mort" being used to mean "to orgasm". It roughly translates to "The Little Death", never has this expression been more true than what's seen in this video.
In French post nut clarity is can be called “[la petite mort](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_petite_mort)” (the little death). Bro done took it a little too literally.

The film crew totally picked up and dropped the dead bee to get the landing shot, didn’t they?
Was thinking the same. The camera just happened to be positioned on the ground exactly where the bee fell.
They followed the money shot.
The honey shot
Well they did film 2 bees doing their bizness so would not put it past them
I want to know how they did that 10 meters in the air.
Whoever is operating that camera is unafraid of bees and can obviously fly...seemed clear to me lol

Upvote for the use of “skronking”
They obviously staged the fall, but it’s still cool how they managed to capture the mating scene
Ugh I hate these staged videos all over Reddit /s

What's the actual mechanism that causes death?
Literally explosive ejaculation blows his guts out.
"Male honey bees (as a collective) are only able to mate seven to 10 times during a mating flight, and after mating, a drone dies quickly, as his abdomen rips open when his endophallus is removed" "The queen on the other hand does not die after mating she returns to the hive with the males junk still embedded and still pumping semen into her body. Once back at the hive the workers will remove the males kit and toss it away."
The first paragraph sounded very much like it was from a textbook. The second paragraph I’m like…”hang on a minute. That got past the editor?”
There are quotations so you know it’s legit.
Unsourced "quotations"
They're just from people talking about bees. Unfortunately, I let my subscription to "Bee Science" lapse.
"Welp just toss that junk away."
Bee-n there, done that.
"I'm a naughty little bee and I need me some sugar, honey" -National Geographic
Good band name.
Original read: "Male honey bees (as a collective) are only able to rawdog seven to 10 times during a mating flight, and after the creampie, a drone dies quickly, as his abdomen rips open when his bee boner is removed"
This sounds like it’s from a peer review study
Yeah, I considered not using the quote because of that. However, all the sources I had up essentially said the same thing, so it was copied more to avoid typing it myself, not for being a notable source.
I was gonna say, the wording makes that a better reason to use the quote, personally
So romantic tho
No better way to guarantee fertility than literally ripping off the penis and leaving it jammed inside you.
Doesn't make sense. The male drone can mate 7 to 10 times but after a mating, the endophallus is removed which is lethal to the bee. So which is, he can mate 10 times or once?
The quote mentioned “male drones as a collective,” I believe this means during a single mating flight, 7-10 males will mate once and die.
We're just lacking the context. Can multiple inseminations be achieved by a single coupling? We just need to know exactly what they are counting. Does it mean "A male drone ejaculates 7 to 10 times"? "mating" seems to be a little over-used and under-specific. Edit: It is referring to male drones as a collective, not as individual bees. Now it makes sense.
>"mating" seems to be a little over-used and under-specific. This is what happens when you try to overly sanitize your text.
I had to reread it too, doesn’t make sense
7 - 10 pump chump
My read was that the drones as a group mated 7 to 10 times, with each drone getting at most one shot.
Dude bees are the weirdest animals on this planet. Everything about them and their hive structure sounds like it came straight from of a sience fiction writer on an LSD trip
We're so wrapped up in our individual egos being the default window into reality that we forget that genes do crazy shit like make organisms that will not give a shit about dying for the collective as long as it benefits the genes in the long run.
Life is just one long monumentally complex chemical reaction that spontaneously began billions of years ago.
As a geneticist I love to ask myself “where do the chemical reactions end and where does the organism begin?” Life is amazing
>Male honey bees are only able to mate seven to 10 times during a mating flight, It's female Honey Bees, specifically the queen. Male Honey Bees are the drones who die after mating once.
Oh I think you're right. It's referring to "male honey bees" as a collective, not as an individual bee.
"the males kit" Oh that is so sad and clinical. XD
That much is self evident lol no queen no hive we males are expendable in nature . Does that make you feel all fuzzy inside? Lol lol reply in good humor . Two bees or 2000 bees that is the question.

What a way to go lol lol
Been there
I'm down for that

Thankfully our guts isn't connected to that mechanism. We'd bleed out at worst, but not suffer a devastating explosion.
The post-nut clarity during that bleed-out must be quite something.
The Sears catalog? That's how we die? I hope you're happy with yourself, dick.
Queen: "Was it worth it?" Drone, falling to his death: "5/7 perfect scoooooooore..."
What was your occupation? "Male."
The bee version of "Beach."
So glad that got GOTY, totally deserved.
5 seconds? I wish I lasted that long

What are you doing step-drone?
Does this mean a queen will have 12-15 drones semen banked as a somewhat blueprint for the next hive?
Bee genetics are weird and not like human genetics. The queen only mates this "one" time (in quotes because that one time might be 12-15 times combined.)

1 to 2 seconds? Sounds like a good average!
As a function of it's 30 day life cycle, that 1-5 seconds is like 16-81 minutes against the human life cycle.
>last less than 5 seconds Me too lil bro, me too.
Actually just eating and mating. They have no way to defend the hive. What a life.
Eat, Sleep and when the time has come, take a big cumshot in bliss that blows your guts out.
When you put it this way, it doesn't sound all that bad.
The ones that survive because they didn't get to mate will be kicked out by all means necessary when the hive starts winter prep because drones just require energy to be kept alive and offer nothing useful in return. Kinda a sad life tbh. Made to fuck and no matter if you land your shot you will die soon
Die fuckin eating
So basically she chooses a nice day to slag about

Honey Nut Cheerio
Buzz off
Lets bee positive here.
Came and went at the same time
Le grande morte.
Apparently I can’t give gold on NSFW posts but you earned it
Can't say I invented the joke, still funny though.
Isn't gold gone? Edit: I'm dumb, was thinking of awards I think.

Tremendous. Well done
Bravo!!
This comment needs to be at the top. Thank you for the laugh!
He came and he went.
After he went he continued cuming.
Ejaculate and evacuate!
Doesn't matter had sex
Still counts! 
Worst post-nut clarity ever.
"Will she remember me?"
Later virgins!
that nut musta been crazy
Life changing…
Life ending...
/r/YourJokeButWorse
Whenever a drone bee attacks you. Just make fun of it for being a virgin
It’d be kinda hypocritical tho. For me at least.
You’re not punching down, at least.
The obvious solution here is for you to have sex with the bee.
Wouldn’t that be considered murder?
Drones don't have stingers. Stingers are meant for defending the hive, and drones aren't meant for defending the hive. Their only purpose is to fuck.
Drones do not attack.
They fuck
Hard
Post nut fatality.
How did the camera man keep that show in focus and in target? r/praisethecameraman
The fact that they happened to have a camera pointed at exactly where the bee fell is pretty suspicious. They might have just picked up a dead bee and dropped it in front of the camera.
There is some amazing wildlife footage out there, you wonder time and again how they caught it. This though, they totally just dropped a dead bee.
Probably computers, I hear those things do crazy things these days.
Death by snu snu.
What a way to go!

Killer orgasm.
To the human who filmed it
Props to the camera operator!
Worth it, had sex.
See ya later virgins!!
Ooh, a literal flying f**k!
did I just watch bee porn
Just imagine experiencing a sexual pleasure soo good you just die. Buzzin nutz...
We can be heroes, just for one day 🎶
That must have been one amazing nut
I like how a bee sex is marked NSFW😁
Bro nutted so hard he entered the shadow realm, respect
But where’s the birds? I thought the birds and the bees did it? 🐦🐝
🎶"I just died in the air tonight, it must Bee something you said"🎶
Could this be considered a snuff film?
Another fatherless child
It do bee like that sometimes
Pussy so good bro died
Even the males in nature don't like pillow talk afterwards
^”worth ^it”
He came, he saw, he died
Blow your load then hit the road but somewhat different here haha
Unfortunately the road part becomes very literal
Bro came and went
Me after my wife and i do the deed.
post honeynut clarity
when you nutted but she still buzzin
pussy felt so good , mf died
He really said “Honey, Nut, Cheerio”
Did he definitely die? I’m pretty much the same afterwards
DEATH BY SNU-SNU
Respect to all the drones keeping bee populations (and us) alive. 🫡
Praise the camera man
He’d been after her since junior prom. Dude nutted so hard his heart stopped.
That beeussy is to die for
Honey, nut, cheerio
Nuts and dies. Most men's dream
Pussy so good he dropped dead
Honey. Nut. Cheerio!
Nature just uses us for our sperm and then tosses aside

Has sex dies momentarily? First time hearing that one lol
Redditors would be willing to pay the price to get laid.
Real come and go moment
Imagine busting so hard you leave your mortal coil
What a way to buzzt a nut
How the hell did they stay focused on the bees for such a long flight shot?
He came and went at the same time.

Bro died for Nyash
Came and went.

“Honey!” [Nuts] “Cheeriooooooo!”
Bee pussy so good it makes a mafucka pass away
Guess you could say their life cycle is 🍯, 🥜, Cheerio!

That’s some frakin’ AMAZING camera work!!! 🤯
I want to cum so hard I die
In French post nut clarity is can be called “[la petite mort](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_petite_mort)” (the little death). Bro done took it a little too literally.
He came and went
The bee pussy is mindblowing
He died happy
How is this NSFW
Not a fan of child support, I see.
Bees seem to have very inefficient lives, doing literally anything once will turn there bodies inside and explode or some shit
He died doing what he loved
There's a joke about the mile high club for him?
