  • Down with the bees! 2.0 years ago

    @Michiganstatepolice

    Hi, Zoologist and Environment Scientist here. No, not necessarily. There seems to be an inherent misunderstanding of some facts, so let me break it down for you.

    There are invasive species and there are established species. Some species have previously been introduced or were originally invasive, but have become integrated into the ecosystem over time. Two examples of this in the states are Horses and the Peacock Bass.

    European Honeybees were introduced to the states in the 1600s and have since become integral to the native ecosystem. And damage they may have once caused has been erased by this gradual integration. The European Honeybee is the single most important agricultural insect and among the most common of bees as well as being among the most prolific pollinators. Without the European Honeybee, the US as we know it would not exist.

    Do European Honeybees and Bumblebees compete? Yes? Can the European Honeybee cause damage to Bumblebees? Yes. However this interaction is not exclusive to bees and invasive species. Competition is part of every ecosystem, native and non-native. Like a teeter-totter it swings back and forth, sometimes favoring one over another. There are scenarios in which Bumblebees outcompete the European Honeybees as well. Both can spread viruses to eachother, both can out-pollinate the other. In addition, pollination rates and honey production vary wildly between the two species and between groups, with other factors such as weather, climate, and season at play.

    If we were to suddenly turn around and exterminate or accelerate the already worrying decline the European Honeybee, it would be an ecological disaster of truly epic proportions. The food chain would collapse, famine and food shortages would become widespread, products such as dairy and cotton would become almost impossible to obtain, we’d lose a significant amount of biodiversity in regards to flora; food prices would skyrocket, and a economic crisis of untold proportions would occur. It would be many decades, if not longer before other pollinators started to restore the balance.

    Also, do not call me ‘misinformed’. I’m very well informed. Yes, Wasps can pollinate, but I left that detail out for a reason. Not not only are they not as good at it as other insects, they don’t even actively do it. Wasps lack the same adaptation Bees have to carry large amounts of pollen. Many insects have small hairs all over their body, not just bees and wasps.

    In addition, the only time a wasp will visit a flower is for two reasons. To get their sugar fix or to eat other insects, which is where they inadvertently pick up pollen. You know what a favorite insect snack among Wasps is? That’s right, Bees. Wasps and Hornets are notorious for raiding bee colonies, especially during summer months when pollination is most prevalent, slaughtering entire colonies to get at nectar and bee larvae to steal for consumption. Wasps are by nature carnivores and scavengers, their diet mostly consuming of other insects. The pollination provided by wasps only results in a small fraction of the produce we consume.

    @SheriffHackdogMCPE
    Literally my first thought when I heard about this airline. Asia has some… interesting airlines. If you really want some goofy airlines, look at airlines from Indonesia. They’ve got something going on over there.

    (No offense to the Indonesian peeps on the site)

    Just for the record you don’t need to credit me for the text label… I did those a long time ago just to get a start on the site…. They were starting to get more upvotes than some of my planes so I ended up removing them after a while. You can make your own text labels if you want.

  • How do i make a straight cheatlines on the front nose 2.1 years ago

    I think I understand what you mean. At the very front on the nose cone I do it in two steps.
    1: Say the fuselage block at the very front has a front fill of 0/0 and a back of 0.25/0.25. When you apply the cheatline, don’t make the front fill value 0/0. Make it slightly above 0. Like 0.05
    2: Use overload to create a negative fill (ex: -0.05) to solve the area on the nose when it fills upwards into that triangle shape

    Or if you’re just talking in general on the sides, it takes some precise fuselage slicing. Sometimes I use overload to do values like for example 20.5 top fill.

    The easiest way to do it is with discord.

    1: Take your desired screenshot
    2: Open discord and upload your screenshot
    3: Copy the link to the image you just uploaded
    4: Go to the Simpleplanes site and in your post you want to type ![](insert copied link here. Yes you need the parenthesis)
    5: You now have an attached photo
