 Today we learned that neurotypicals have a thing called “touch starved” that they view as a negative. Like no physical touch. We thought everyone knew that being touch starved is a fundamental part of the high performance starter pack. We can tell if one of our guys has had human contact and we won’t take them back, like when a bird rejects its child back if it’s been handled by humans. We can’t risk contamination of the hive.
