So I went and had a quick look and you are not wrong. Let's say that vulvas appeared with mammals. Mammals (well, the modern-ish kind of mammals) evolved about 250 millions of years ago https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_mammals

Bees "only" 120m years ago https://news.wsu.edu/press-release/2023/07/31/bees-likely-evolved-from-ancient-supercontinent-earlier-than-suspected/

According to some time travelers (allusion to HG Wells The Time Machine), we'll simply start eating humans.

If it's easier to attract flies with honey than it is with vinegar, how come flies don't be trying to go after beehives? ๐Ÿค”
