You know, I have always wondered where the phrase, "Birds and the Bees" actually comes from? I guess I can understand the bird angle, but bees? I am no emtomology expert, but other than the Queen and her royal affairs, I think most of the bees do not participate in mating. The worker bees get up every morning and fly out to hit the flowers, then come home in the evening and grab a beer or whatever, then go to bed in their cell until the next day when they do it all again. No romance, no one-night stands, no drunken Christmas party regrets, etc.
I do find it curious how english use the saying "birds and bees" for reproduction, mentioning two different kinds of animals that help with flower pollination but never mention the essential counterpart, the flower. In swedish we use the saying "flowers and bees" :P
