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

She is survived by her mother and seventeen thousand sisters.

Little dude makes us honey, AND kills our oppressors?? May you spend eternity in an infinite field of wildflowers.

Boy, they really decided to go dark with the Bee Movie sequel, huh?

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

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

[-] Aimeeloulm@feddit.uk 10 points 3 weeks ago

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

Yeah I thought it was gonna be something like the whales taking out yatchs but bees taking out super rich polo players

That poor bee

The bee took one for the team.

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

Thank you comrade bee rat-salute

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 27 points 4 weeks ago

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

Ig I'm one of today's lucky ~~10,000~~ 410

[-] 4grams@awful.systems 26 points 4 weeks ago

He deserves a goddamned posthumous award. There will never a death more ‘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 “Man dies after swallowing a bee at a Polo match” that your reaction is anything but “I wonder which billionaire that was.”

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 16 points 4 weeks ago

It gets even more comic-book villainous- he asked his mother to slap his then wife because she didn’t fit into a dress, while she was pregnant! What a good guy for not hitting a woman though, that’s totally the spirit of that advice.

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

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

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.
