Frankly his lavish lifestyle of bee eating was, in retrospect, not a good idea.

oh no. Where will we find another rich douche to replace him?

Bummer. I was hoping to ask whether there was a honey flavor or more of a floral sugar flavor. Apparently it's a quick death.

Mad props to Comrade Bee, she gave her life for the people. She will live on in our memories, deepest sympathy and condolences to her hive for their loss.

I was stung once by a bee when I was a kid and my mother threw mud on it. While the mud dried, it drew out the stinger.

anyhow, mad props to bees. They are heroes more ways than one. I actually find this quite inspirational. No matter how small and insignificant you may feel you are, small acts can still have big consequences.

What a way to go! All that money can't save you from nature.

Luigi the Bee.

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 130 points 23 hours ago (8 children)

Ah this is terrible.

The bee population is already struggling, and there's no way this one survived after getting stuck in dude's throat.

Hahahaha. Good.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 44 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I feel bad for the bee.

But holy shit! If this doesn't make you want to save the bees than nothing will.

I dub this bee the Buzz Bomber!
