Does Patton die if he stings anyone

I'm still working a bit on Patton's main inspiration (either orchid bee or bumblebee), so I'm giving you two answers:

Apparently, male orchid bees don't have stings, only the females do. So in this case Patton wouldn't have one. Crisis avoided!

Or, if you'd like an angstier answer, he got his sting removed. Both female orchid bees and bumblebees have stings and can attack more than once (meaning they don't die), and therefore Patton decided to remove it before he could hurt anyone.

Maybe he did it after feeling terribly guilty for doing something wrong, maybe he did it before he had the chance to do any harm. The choice is yours!

[VIDEO AND PHOTOS TAKEN: MAY 23RD, 2025 | Video and Image IDs: A video and eight photos of a swarm of orange, brown, and black western honey bees licking up what remains of the sugar water on a disassembled hummingbird feeder. The images mostly focus on the clear base, which is sitting atop a bit of grey wooden railing. In the video, the clear piece, still being licked relentlessly by some dedicated bees, is being held by a human hand, the camera turning to show how many are swarming around, as well as showing the other translucent red piece, with bits of tape attached to it /End IDs.]

An absolute ton of western honey bees (Apis mellifera)! Equally as polite as they are ravenous, as could be said of any Hymenopteran swarm when they realize you're the food provider—I've even had yellowjackets behave similarly when it comes to the mighty hummingbird feeder, but this is the biggest feeding frenzy I've ever seen!

Also, if you're wondering why the red piece has duct tape over it like that, I was testing a quick and easy way to replace the little flower hole covers on the feeder (after ensuring the tape was no longer sticky enough for any creature to get stuck to it). The previous covers had broken and tons of honey bees got stuck in it, as the hole was big enough to fit them and other similarly sized Hymenopterans. Which, I'll have to retest sometime (Or, y'know, just purchase a new feeder) because on this test I made the error of leaving the center open without realizing things could get through, which is why it's disassembled here.

discord liked this so

this honey bee (Apis mellifera) doing the splits was a very lethargic individual i found scuttling in the dirt. if she was on her way out, i figured i might as well help her have a meal and decided to bring her to some flowers

to do so, i used a eucalyptus leaf to carry her around, and some woodsorrel flowers for her to actually feed on. the irony of using two highly invasive species to help a single (native) bee that is itself invasive in most of the world was not lost on me
