Is this true? I’m not sure why anyone would lie about such a thing, but, still… is it true?
According to the wikipedia page for isoamyl acetate, it is both responsible for the banana smell and is the chemical honey bees use to tell other bees to sting, so at least the logic for the post is sound.
I hate bananas anyway so good enough for me. Still gotta force em down occasionally bc healthy, of course.
Have you tried pairing them with peanut butter, and possibly a couple slices of bread? I like both peanut butter bananas, and peanut butter and banana sandwiches, but don’t care for bananas by themselves.
Peanut butter jelly time
I searched it and the consensus is an astounding yes, this is somewhat true. Here’s an interesting article from a guy (take it with a grain of isoamyl acetate) that suggests it’s not as bad to eat bananas around bees. 🍌🐝 🍌 🐝
Yeah. There was a restaurant near me that had a hive in their ceiling, and the whole store smelled like banana
I’m not sure that I would classify that as “proof”. In my life, I have patronized many restaurants that had beehives present, none of which smelled like bananas.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying that I would like to see some evidence that’s a little bit more substantial/conclusive.
Edit: removed the patronizing part
You know, as I was typing that out, I was thinking “why would anyone believe me”.
The complete events that unfolded sound like a story where everyone clapped for me, so instead of sounding like a kid making shit up, I’ll just say, it smelled like bananas, I told someone the bees thing, and a week later the place shut down for a few days while a massive honeycomb/hive was removed from the ceiling.
I read about the smell on cracked in like 2008 and just parroted the info later, which turned out to be true, at least in this case.
Love you posters!
