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

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 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 6 points 16 hours 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

The bee took one for the team.

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

That poor bee

[-] 4grams@awful.systems 21 points 1 day 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.”

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.
