TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: From student, to janitor, to teacher, to PRINCIPAL!

This story is an inspiration to anyone who has ever had dreams of climbing their way to the top of their field.

For 14 years this guy named Mike Huss out in California was the janitor of the elementary school which he attended when he was a kid. Then he decided to try and become a teacher at the school, which he did for 19 years. Now in 2022 he just became the PRINCIPAL of the school this year! How awesome is that?

He should tell his story to every kid who walks through those doors. Unreal.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do bees sting other bees?

It’s that time of year again… the bees are PISSED! They’ve been buzzing around all summer long and now they can sense the cold winter is coming so they are getting all their stings out. I’m telling you… just go to any apple orchard in September and it’s just the most angry bees everywhere. But the question today… do bees sting each other?

The answer is yes. They sting humans, other animals, but also other bees if they feel threatened or like the bee is intruding on it’s territory.

Let’s be honest, it would be much better if they just stung each other instead of us right?
