@clive I never thought of yellow jackets as wasps. I know they’re not bees, so I don’t know what I thought they were. What’s a hornet? Also a wasp?
@davidtoddmccarty @clive According to Wikipedia & others, hornets are a sub-species of wasp. Wasps have a prominent narrow waist between thorax and abdomen.

This mining bee has massive yellow pollen baskets that are camouflaged on the flower, but are a bit more obvious in flight

The same bee, seen from above flying away. Now its rear legs are very visible, big and yellow. So big they almost look like chicken legs.
A small mining bee on a yellow autumn hawkbit flower, seen in profile. The bee is mostly black, with fine white lines on the abdomen.

It records everything you say (and what people around you say, too).
The company behind the #Bee bracelet is being bought by #Amazon. Think of it as Copilot+ Recall for the real world. It seems like Jeff Bezos (pictured) just can’t get enough of knowing everything about you and your life.
Naturally, this raises a ton of privacy questions. In #SBBlogwatch, we have more questions than answers.
