Jeez, come on you guys, show some respect.
A bee just died.

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.
Where did I say yellowjackets were bees?
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.
Because their stingers are smooth, like bumblebees and carpenter bees. Are those not related either??
One of the parent comments is correcting someone about not all bees dying when they sting, holy moly please learn to read.
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.
Karisma accused Sunjay of domestic abuse in her divorce plea, stating that during their honeymoon, Sunjay forced her to sleep with his friends.
Good bee.
bruh the amount of sht they want you to accept to read is wild, the reddit post is controversial, prob did happen unlike they're saying and back then they wouldve assumed the public would side with the man
Her sister kareena kapoor naming her kids off mass genociders of the past is kinda wild lol, one is known in the sikh religion for torturing a guru https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/aug/14/bollywoods-kareena-kapoor-subject-to-online-abuse-over-babys-name
they may be still used as common names tho for all I know and its just india getting mad over culture wars lol but ppl stopped using adolf for a reason
That whole issue sounds incredibly stupid from the outside. Would there be the same outrage if someone named their kid Ghengis? He killed even more people. Or Vlad, as in Vlad the Impaler? Or Joseph as in Joseph Stalin? Looking at this with an outside perspective, it truly sounds as the whole thing is fabricated because people just hate the marriage between a Hindu and a Muslim.
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.
Or, hear me out. Genetically modified bonsai orcas.
I'm assuming the biohacking community can get on that.
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
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…🐝
"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
Bee the change you want to see.
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.
RIP to that poor bee :(
That bee was too good for this world
She died a hero.
Could have been a male bee too
Drones don't have stingers. Queens and workers have stingers. Queens are from worker larva that are fed royal jelly that transforms them into a queen that is capable of reproduction. Workers are technically female but they're closer to asexual.
So, that badass enby ace bee gave that motherfucker what for.
You are right if it's a honey bee. There are many other species of bees that do have males with stingers. For example many solitary bees (live alone rather than in a hive) have stingers though aren't known to sting people unless swallowed like in the OP.
The British isles have over 200 species of solitary bees so it's very possible the bee hero in question here was a male :)
Didn't even think it about it not being a honey a bee. You're right.
I just learned about solitary bees a few years ago. For some reason it has never cross my mind until I was researching these unusual blue bees in my garden which turned out to bee Blue Banded Bee which is awesome:

Wow! That's amazing, I've never heard of a blue bee. That's just really cool. I bet it was confusing when you first saw it. I've heard of/seen solitary bees but didn't think about it. Did a little beekeeping work as a kid.
We've got a couple weird ones on the other side of the pond that I've been around. (wasps, actually)
Cow killer/Red velvet ant it's sting is in the top 10 for most painful. They're beautiful.
Cicada Killers are huge, 5cm/2in long. I had one fall out of a tree with a cicada right next to me. I thought it was birds fighting.
thanks for sharing these cool wasps! We have some very interesting ones here in Thailand as well and I've seen them dig trenches just tossing sand around half a meter up which just shows how crazy strong they actually are so incredibly don't doubt those stings sting
I feel bad for the bee.
But holy shit! If this doesn't make you want to save the bees than nothing will.
I dub this bee the Buzz Bomber!
I notice your Sonic reference
I was unaware that it is a sonic reference. I was actually referring to the German V-1 rocket that was nicknamed the Buzz Bomb by the allies.
Edit: https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Buzz_Bomber
Shit! Wow, mother of all coincidences!
Not all heroes wear capes.
Some have wings & stingers.
.
No clue who the dude was, I just hate on billionaires in general.
What do we call the bee? Luigi 2?
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.
Great news.
The only good billionaire, is a dead billionaire.
#BeesLivesMatter
Always remember this day. The day when one, small bee gave his life for the cause.
