Scrolling through social media, you’ve probably seen those shocking posts that scream:
👉 “If you see bees on your underwear, it means you have cancer!” 😱
But wait ✋… is that really true? Or just another viral scare tactic? Let’s break it down!
🐝 Why Are Bees Landing on Underwear?
It may look creepy to see dozens of buzzing bees covering your clothes 🩲, but the explanation is much simpler than you think:
✨ 1. Sweet & floral detergents – Bees mistake these scents for nectar 🌸🍯.
✨ 2. Sweat and salts – Human sweat contains minerals that attract bees. 💦
✨ 3. Natural curiosity – Bees are naturally drawn to strong smells, especially outdoors. 🌍
So if bees swarm your clothesline, it’s NOT a disease warning — it’s a perfume party for them! 🎉🐝
