I totally ship this one. My suggestion of Bee-igi sucks in comparison.
Luibee?
Pouring one out for comrade bee’s noble sacrifice 😞

Jeez, come on you guys, show some respect.
A bee just died.
Seriously. We really can’t afford to lose more bees.
An obedient drone serving the monarchy? Cry me a river!
In bee and ant societies, all decisions are made by adult workers through chemical voting. (Queens, larvae and drones don’t get a vote, though.)
TIL that. Thanks. Now reading up on eusociality in hymenopterans.
My condolences to that bee’s hive for their loss.
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.
Actually bees always die after stinging anything.
Edit: I get it people, I’m totally wrong about this - 3 people have already told me.
I thought some bees didn’t have the barb? Certainly honey bees do, but there are many types.
That’s somewhat incorrect. Their stingers have barbs that get stuck in skin and the like and pull out their organs when they try to extract, but that was because it evolved to pierce carapace, not skin. They can sting other insects without dying.
Also, as someone else pointed out, some bees, like bumblebees and carpenter bees,have smooth stingers that do not get stuck in skin.
Yellowjackets can sting the fuck out of you multiple times, too. I got stung by two of them last summer and then they somehow got inside my t-shirt and stung me a bunch more times before I made it inside and flung my shirt off. After waiting half an hour for the pain to subside, I picked up my t-shirt to put it back on and the two yellowjackets fell out of it, still alive. Fortunately they were as surprised as I was and I was able to stomp them before they stung me again.
Yellow jackets are wasps, not bees.
Where did I say yellowjackets were bees?
The conversation is literally around bees and how many times they can sting you before they die, and you bring up yellow jackets. If you knew they weren’t bees why did you bring them up?
They are both part of the hymenoptera order. They are not the same, but they are related evolutionarily and thus can still be relevant to discussion about bees.
thats not true. they die when they lose their stinger, which does not happen with every sting. stingers easily get stuck in human skin though which causes them to lose their stinger so easily.
And in this particular case, the soft lining of the esophagus wouldn’t necessarily get the stinger stuck.
One of the my childhood friend’s dad swallowed a bee once. He nearly died, and frequently said it was the worst summer of his life.
What a tragic loss. For the bee community.
Always remember this day. The day when one, small bee gave his life for the cause.
RIP bee. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
It’s too soon for distasteful comments like this.
There’s no evidence the bee died. Many species can sting more than once. Hopefully the bee can go on to sting many more allergic billionaires.
According to the article she was swallowed. Not likely to come back from that.
Someone hasn’t heard of the frog and the beetle.
“I’d be very fucking chalant if a beetle just crawled out my ass” 🤣
You had me for a sec!

He had me going in the first half

This is why we need to save the bees.
I wanna bee a billionaire, so fucking bad
You’ve just given new meaning to the Bruno Mars song
Beelionaire
Great news.
The only good billionaire, is a dead billionaire.
#BeesLivesMatter
Is the bee alright?
If so, we have another job for it
More, like a permanent position 👍
Mission Impossible 9: we don’t even know anymore, just BEElieve it.
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.
Long live the Queen
Is it possible to train bees? Asking for a friend who is very interested in bee training.
No, but maybe we could encourage the Orcas.
Bit hard to swallow… you’d be guaranteed to choke to death though.
nah ive seen a video of an asian guy swallowing a hornet. he was fine but his mouth was so inflated he could barely speak properly
Or, hear me out. Genetically modified bonsai orcas.
I’m assuming the biohacking community can get on that.
They already like to have fun by attacking sailboats. Orcas are comrades!
I’ve heard that the smell of a banana makes bees go crazy and they go into attack mode. You didn’t hear that me…🐝
Fascinating! TIL
“Isoamyl acetate is released by a honey bee’s sting apparatus where it serves as a pheromone beacon to attract other bees and provoke them to sting.[8]”
That’s crazy!
wee, nice. Throw a banana at a beehive, kill a billionaire
If only it were so easy.
Reminds me
"- I can’t believe he’s dead.
- Were it so easy…"
