When are we going to see photos of the shackled bee in an orange jumpsuit, accompanied by a 1000 heavily armed Storm Troopers?

Nature is healing.

This happened almost 2 months ago. I am pleased to see all the bee puns again though.

Is the bee as dreamy as Luigi?

Blessed be the bee for making the ultimate sacrifice

Finally, the "Bee Movie" and "A Bugs Life" cross over that I've been begging for

The Buzz bomber will never be forgotten!

According to Forbes, there are 3028 billionaires in the world as of April 1, 2025. A typical bee hive can have an average of 20,000 to 80,000 bees. I’m just saying that it only will take less than 4% of 1 hive to solve the world’s problems.

I think we can safely use past tense for 2 month old news.

Damn that's tragic, hope the bee's family is ok

She is survived by her mother and seventeen thousand sisters.

I just pictured Luke flying his fighter into the Death Star.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Seems more like that A-Wing pilot flying into the Executor bridge.

[–] Aimeeloulm@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm pretty certain it was B-Wing in this case 🀣

Suddenly bees seem a bit, dare I say... Sexy

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Excited for some guys grandchild to see the unclassified docs about the CIA shooting custom bees down people’s throats in 25 years

The bee took one for the team.

With any luck, there's a hive of like-minded bees near the White House.

He deserves a goddamned posthumous award. There will never a death more β€˜billionaire’ than this. I mean this is cartoon level, over the top, absurdist level perfection.

I mean tell me, if you just saw the headline β€œMan dies after swallowing a bee at a Polo match” that your reaction is anything but β€œI wonder which billionaire that was.”

I'm kinda pissed that it's playing it like a cello

Its stumpy sausage arms and neck rolls prevent proper playing. :(

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Story is from June 17th. I thought it sounded familiar since we all read about it when it actually happened.
