https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_birds_and_the_bees May not clear much up, but it’s a start for me and yet another rabbit hole. So I thank you for that.

The birds and the bees are both males. They pollinate flowers, which would be the females in the analogy.

Bees have a haplo-diploid sex determinism and birds work with ZW sex chromosomes.
I don't get it either.
