BEES???!!!

[~Shimmer Shock~]

hello. Firstly we all know Beedrill,Vespiquen and there "families" (for lack of a better word) but there is one thing that bugs me
(I know baaad pun) if bees are important in our world then they must matter in the pokemon world so if bees from differnt parts of our world can form a "super hive" is put together then what do they do in the pokemon world?

Boath kinds of bees MUST have met at some point since we saw beedrill in DP045 right?


ps. I read the supe hive thing a while ago in the paper

Thy obviously do the same thing bees do in our world, pollinate plants.

 

[Shift]

Beedrill strike me more as closer to yellow jackets/hornets then actual bees.

 

[Mew2Too]

Dunno. All I do know is that if all the Beedrill and Vespiquen start disappearing in the 2012 season, the Pokemon world is history.

 

[Nekusagi]

Vespiquen's Pokedex entry says she keeps grubs (presumably young Combee) in her skirt thing.

So, presumably, Vespiquen IS the hive.

 

[Amewsment]

I too thought that Beedrill was more of a hornet/wasp than a bee, because it's appearance and it's behavior indicate that it's a wasp. The only hints that they are supposed to be bees come from the name and the dex entries for Teddiursa: "A Teddiursa makes its own honey by blending fruits and pollen collected by Beedrill". However gathering pollen is not actually a behaviour limited to bees, certain wasps share this behavioural trait with bees.
So in my eyes Combee are the only real bees in the pokémon world.

 

[Nekusagi]

In one of the Pokemon manga (I forget which), the main character lures a Snorlax with Beedrill honey.

So yes, I do think Beedrill are bees.

 

[PanicAttack]

To me, Combee are bees, Vespiquen are queen bees/hives, Beedrill are just generic vespiforms. Simple really imo.

 

[The Outrage]

Beedrills are only bees until we get real bee Pokemon

That's how I see it.

There are literaily thousands of species of bees, wasps and hornets, so why is having two separete bee Pokémon such a difficult concept to grasp?

Anyway, there are enormous differences between the two families to justify each one's existence.

1. Beedrill represent the reputation that bees have that they are very protective of their homes. So much so that they will attack the enemy at all costs.

2. Combee represents the honey gathering aspects of bees. Plus how bee colonies actually function. (The way Combee evolve sorta mimics how there is usually only one queen bee in an entire colony.

Need I remind people that there are no less then three separate families of cats? Not only that, all of them are normal typed and evolve once?

If there's room in the franchise for that, I don't see the problem with having 2 families of bees.

Not to mention the huge amount of Normal/Flying birds. >_>;

They're all based on different birds.

Unless you somehow count Pidgeons, Sparrows, Swallows, Starlings, Owls, Birds of Prey, Ducks, Ostriches, Parrots, Angels and Cloud/bird hybrids as the same bird.

THANK YOU!!!! sooo back on topic the way I see it is that there are the honey devoted bees one queen bee and those who protect the hive.
