One down.... Many more to go.

The more we have animals exhibiting human behaviors, on top of whales & bees straight up attacking billionaires, the easier it is to believe in a collective subconscious.

Nature is healing.

What a tragic loss. For the bee community.

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

My billionaire stepped on a bee

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

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Don't worry, I'm sure his assets will be distributed among the poor and starving people in the world.

Right?

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.

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.
