i don’t actually know why it’s called “the birds and the bees” (am not american, never had it in school) but i suspect it stands for the big and little flying things?
Birds, mostly males, get all flashy and showy to attract a mate, and bees all answer to the matriarch of the family, so it’s just like life. Obviously.

We don’t really know where the phrase came from. My guess is that they’re things from nature that alliterate, which makes it sound cute and innocent.

Maybe the saying came from the mirror universe…
