Can bees get fat?

[DarkCrystalMethod]

Only the bee's knees.

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

would the other bees gang up and push out the honey hoarder?

[Captain Pentium]

Aren't bees already fat, you know? Due to the laws of aviation they shouldn't be able to fly because they shouldn't be able to get their fat bodies off the ground but they do anyways.

I’m not going to google that because I’m sure that i only find berry bee fetish porn

Can they get even fatter?

Do you speak of bumble bees or honey bees?

Honey bees.

Some can, yes. Bumble bees go through a winter hibernation period like bears do. So they need to get fat if they're to survive the cold.

the bee would die as it cannot fly back to the hive

I'm taking your word for it since Google doesn't have an answer as far as I looked.

Well, if it helps, honey bees do not hibernate. All they do in the winter is keep their queen warm so she survives the winter. Regardless of how many workers die.

I have never considered mass gain in species with exoskeletons. But several species of other insects can go through mass gain with large surpluses of food. Hmmm...

And now I have read and learned that yes, Bees can get fat.

I have learned my science for the day. And I know too much about vitellogenin.

I don't think they become fatter though, I'm talking gaining more weight, can they possibly get fatter?

According to all known laws
of aviation,


there is no way a bee
should be able to fly.


Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.


The bee, of course, flies anyway


because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.

The queen would be the only one that would gain more weight. At least, enough to be considered to be fat.
