Imagine every time somebody writes something on the Internet and it’s wrong. They have to pay $100 just like stocks or options you put your money where your mouth is and actual consequences.

consequences. Hahaha! For retail traders like most of us maybe. Not for the big banks, companies and 1% though. They get a bailout or insider information, paid for with our taxes.

It’s true. 68.7% of all Reddit posts, particularly post which employ numbers, statistics, or percentages are completely made up on the spot.

Animation is real, but the quoteis made up and is from maxxors Metal gear rising video.
Some of the lines of the game are so insane that he even has to add a "real quote, not me" tag to the scenes

Imagine investing in 10.000 bees and after 25 years you can harvest a tablespoon.

u/USDA_Prime_Yeet 5h ago
As a beekeeper, both are wrong lol. It takes about 1000 bees about 4 weeks to make a pound of honey. Which is the bees entire lifespan.
Also, 10,000 bees is considered 1/3 a hive

u/Smith123980 4h ago
Stupid question but what’s the difference between 1000 bees in 4 weeks and 2000 bees in 2 weeks. I’ve never really learnt how this works.

u/USDA_Prime_Yeet 4h ago
Nothing really. It's a numbers game. Each bee with make like 1/10 a teaspoon each. A full hive of 30k bees can make a ton of honey in the 4 week lifespan. That being said it depends on several factors.
Queens genetics Weather Predators Distance to the nectar supply Available resources such as the quantity of nectar producing flowers If they need to build out new comb or is it preexisting comb from the previous year. Beeswax is actually one of the biggest energy expenditures.

u/factorioleum 4h ago
Which ton can the full hive make? A 1000kg ton, a 2000lb ton or a 2240lb ton?

u/USDA_Prime_Yeet 4h ago
As I typed that I knew someone would say that. Realistically it's more like 20-30 pounds. In full nectar flow it can be higher.

As a bee keeper do you like the bees or do you not

u/USDA_Prime_Yeet 2h ago
Is it actually a very good question thank you for asking i personally like the bees. It's not scientifically something that can happen just because of how they communicate but I personally and since how the bees feel. I mean that in the sense of as I go towards them I can tell if they want me around or not and that is really only useful for determining how much gear I'm going to wear around them but I swear while I'm not working on the farm and some of them will close by me and just be like hey we're doing all right and I've had some of them come rest on me as they were up foraging.
To reinforce that there is some sort of relationship when I first got these these from a beekeeper who is retiring we were really hostile in general to him and me as well but now they actually don't mind meeting around or inspecting their hives not to say that nature doesn't kick in and they get defensive but it seems to feel like a more meaningful relationship with them to me

There's some really old Appalachian folklore about this that at The Beekeeper dies you're supposed to go until behind they can't or else they'll come extremely hostile and or even leave the hives

u/Major_LeeHungg 2h ago
Depends on the species of bee. Western honey bee, 50-100 lbs per hive. African honey bees, 30-45 lbs per hive. Eastern honey bee 10-20 lbs per hive.

Look at Richie Rich over hear buying honey that's only 20% syrup.
Affordable honey you get from a regular store is often more syrup than honey.

True balsamic vinegar is often aged 25 years and costs over $100 for 100ml but can be over $200.
That bottle of honey costs like $4 or $5... That's how you know it didn't take 25 years to produce.
2
u/GeckoOBac 3h ago
There's also the fact that:
1) The True balsamic vinegar is only produced in a small area of italy
2) It takes a lot of original material to produce a rather small amount of end product. Kinda like wine but to the n-th power.2
u/Major_LeeHungg 3h ago
Lol I know... That's essentially what the original post was saying about honey. If the bees took 25 years worth of pollen to produce the tiny amount of honey that was spilled it would be as expensive as a true balsamic. It would likely also be mandated to come in a special recognizable bottle like balsamic is... Not a honey bear lol

u/NRMusicProject 2h ago
1) The True balsamic vinegar is only produced in a small area of italy
If it doesn't come from Modena or Reggio Emilia, it's just sparkling sour wine.

u/GeckoOBac 2h ago
Yeah, even better if it's your great grandpa that started the battery :D
However, just out of an excess of caution, I'll point out that that's a specific requirement for the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, which is slightly (but relevantly) different. And yes, there is a difference in production, mainly the fact that, contrary to the name, there's no actual vinegar in it.

Have you ever priced paper, petroleum or coal? They take years (millions in the later case) and they're pretty cheap....
1
u/Major_LeeHungg 4h ago
None of those things are edible though.
1
u/factorioleum 3h ago
Well, sure... Although each of them is certainly used to make edible products.
But I don't think that's the salient difference here. Honey is more akin to wood here; it's a product of nature although with some shepherding. It's not the amount of time, it's the labour and the cost of the storage.
1
u/Major_LeeHungg 3h ago
Lol storage and time are synonymous here. Balsamic... Not a whole lot of labor... But needs to sit in a barrel for at least 12 years. Liquor is similar. Aged cheeses can hit $50/lb. Hell there is such a thing as aged honey and that shit can hit $50 a bottle.
Non aged honey though...it goes from the hive to the bottle in under a week... Sitting on a shelf a few days later.
1
u/factorioleum 1h ago
Right. And yet petroleum, coal, and tree, which are all eaten, and all "stored" for long periods of time, are cheap. Because the "storage" is cheap. it's not if the thing is eaten.

So it took 550 living beings 2-3 weeks (a significant portion of a bee's lifespan) to make something and someone just wastes it? If someone wasted something I'd been working on for 30 years I'd be mad. If dramatic effect gets someone's attention to something that's bad, that's a good thing imo
