Honey bees eat pollen, which is passed in to their honey-stomachs and mid guts for digestion. … Since the honey bee is a multicellular being (and not a vacuum chamber), pockets of air can and do establish themselves in the fecal matter. When excreted, these would manifest as farts.

An exhausted bee, however, will appear lethargic and will probably be far away from any flowers. It is important to note that she could be only resting or actually dying. Bees don’t live very long, and if she looks old or is clinging to a flower, sadly these steps won’t resurrect her.

Similar to our circadian rhythm, honeybees sleep between five and eight hours a day. And, in the case of forager bees, this occurs in day-night cycles, with more rest at night when darkness prevents their excursions for pollen and nectar. In some cases, a bee would fall over sideways, as if intoxicated by tiredness.

A closer examination revealed the bacteria were typically found only in the intestines and on the skin. Turns out, if someone farts naked near your nose, you could actually inhale bacteria contained in airborne, bacteria-laden droplets of poop [source: British Medical Journal].

When people seem to have excessive flatulence at night, or let one massive toot first thing in the morning, it’s because lying down to sleep allows gas to “pool” inside the colon rather than coming out a little at a time, like it does during the day. This can lead to sleep flatulence and a case of the wake up farts.

A buildup of gas-producing foods and swallowed air during the day may make you more flatulent in the evening. Also, you’re more likely to fart when the muscles in the intestines are stimulated. When you’re about to have a bowel movement, for example, those muscles are moving stool to the rectum.
