Bees and flowers, drosera and flies, the ever complicated and always steamy affairs of bugs and their plant partners seem never to yield, and for the most part, that’s a good thing.

  1. Ever since SciShow started doing shorts, their content has dropped dramatically. You used to upload a new video daily, now we're lucky to get a new video once per week. During that week, we get compilations from old videos like this, or worse shorts which are the destroyers of knowledge based channels, because of their length. You're feeding your own downfall with Shorts! There's a great old adage relevant here: When you're onto a good thing; stick to it!

  2. Bees have been known to stare at human faces the same way, and can learn and distinguish between different faces. This is because they see your face as a weird looking flower, and are using the same feature recognition behavior as when they memorize flowers. So if you're a gardener and are spending a lot of time outside among your flowering plants, the bees probably recognize you as part of their environment.

  3. i really love compilation videos. my memory is quite poor, and even if i’ve seen every one of the clips in a compilation, i love being able to rewatch old videos, but with added new stuff 💜💜

  4. What if they see well on a certain distance? For smaler ones they might need to be so close to the flower that they cant see it as a hole and get a picture that makes sence to them… If the bee is bigger it might can be so far from the flower it can see "the whole flower"/ a bigger picture, a picture that are possible for them to make sence of? :p // I mean if we would stand infront of a gigant and look at his gigant shoe,,, if wer small enught we would only see it as a "black wall" infront of us, but the bigger we get the more we see…. Like if we are bigger we might see that it is a shoe and if we are even bigger than that we might see that it is a gigant person, with black shoes.

  5. Ants are cool. We're just starting to learn how intelligent hive insects can be. Ants might be the smartest insect, though. There ARE rumors that certain species can pass the mirror test, but either way, they are insanely intelligent problem solvers. I've watched ants who had never seen a pitcher plant before, learn that they could simply dump insect parts into it to get it to its feed limit which then stops producing its slippery stuff on the inside and they were then able to get at the sweat nectar.

  6. who would buy instant ramon that's $6 a serving and that's with %10 off. There's tons of fire ramon out now that's priced way better yea its not as good for you but its way better then the 25 cent packs.

  7. paused at 0:27 Didn't we find out a few years ago that without the fungus involved between insects and plants that we wouldn't actually have the insects or the plants to talk about? Like, didn't we figure out that its a three-way street instead of just two? anyways. I proceeds to watch. 🙂

  8. Evolution is sometimes just so mind-boggling. Like those plants at 22:57. How does that even happen?
    One plant just happens to have a mutation that makes its stem slightly more tasty? And some ants happen to come along and protect the plant? Was this single plant enough for this mutation to be carried on and selected for? Or did this mutation occur several times?
    Do nature sometimes 'miss' beneficial strategies just because a single mutation wasn't enough and the mutation chance was too small to ever spread?
    Evolution, man.

  9. IMO 4 the spidle bug disease the best option would be to find a bacteriofage virus that would go 4 the bacteria and it would take care of the problem both inside the bug's gut and inside the plants.
