I get it's a euphemism for sex, but like, birds and bees don't fuck each other in nature do they?

Flowers and Bees would make more sense.

Cause sex is a natural thing to be curious about and birds and bees are apart of nature? Got no idea

most birds mate in a somewhat strange way, lots of jumping and flapping and what not so kids always ask what the birds are doing. the bees... no clue.

birds and the bees both pollinate flowers

"Nature". Its a cute way to say nature.

Bees pollinate flowers

Birds eat pollen from flowers

Nature is fucking nasty

but humans don't pollinate flowers, so that's a weird analogy. Sex is a two way street. You don't just jerk off on the other person. (well you can, but that's now what you lead with when discussing sex with kids)

Birds were invented after dinosaurs started fucking bees. So, the birds are the bees babies. So, when you talk about the birds and the bees, you're just talking about where babies come from.

Birds like ducks have corkscrew Ds.

And bees generally have a reasonably calm demeanor in their native environment but will sting when threatened.

Meaning all guys are birds and all girls are bees.

What I'm saying is that every great accomplishment bees accomplish then gets stolen by birds, who everyone likes. They run smear campaigns against bees who don't put out. Even call then B's.

I've seen cockatiels having sex. A lot.

He wasn't very good, never fertilized the eggs once.

So we're basically all in agreement that this saying is stupid?

Have you ever seen birds "fighting" in spring?

Also bees don't fuck flowers. That's some serious inter-species (inter-kingdom) reproduction if they did.

Flowers cum all over themselves and the bees step in all the flower cum and then impregnate the other flower when they step on it (and then pick up that flower's flower cum because they're hermaphrodites).

The phrase "the birds and the bees" is a metaphor for explaining the mechanics of reproduction to younger children, relying on imagery of bees pollinating and eggs hatching to substitute for a more technical explanation of sexual intercourse. It is a way of deflecting the inevitable question that every parent dreads: "Where do babies come from?" and it is an alternative to the explanation that the stork delivers babies.

It is uncertain as to when the phrase was first used or how it gained popularity. It does not necessarily mean that parents are explaining how birds and bees reproduce. The connection between human sexuality and eggs and pollination is vague, which can cause some confusion among curious children.

Though there are some variations, the story typically involves bees pollinating flowers, symbolizing male fertilization, and the birds laying eggs, which equates to female ovulation. In another telling of the story, a baby is created when a bee stings a bird.
