Saw this in a parking lot today. I feel bad for the bee but that’s pretty mildly interesting.

That is mildly interesting!
I’d bet a shrike put it there. They’re known as butcher birds and they skewer their prey before eating.
I don’t actually think it’s impaled though, looks like the antenna just hit the bee in the air and wrapped the body around the antenna from force.
Oh yeah I think you’re right.
Never knew that before. Pretty savage!
“Some shrikes impale their prey on plant spines within their territories, which serves as a food store and attracts females.”
I don’t like bees but nothing deserves that.
