Pouring one out for comrade bee's noble sacrifice 😞

My condolences to that bee's hive for their loss.

Always remember this day. The day when one, small bee gave his life for the cause.

The question I ask myself is: You have that much money,you have a private jet on standby, a large security detail.

And none fucking thought about getting competent medical team or at least a fucking competent paramedic? I mean....I am generally unsympathetic amongst almost all billionaires, but as someone who has literally done VIP escorts as a critical care paramedic I wonder who fucked up that much.(But these were all "old wealth" and actually were not billionaires. And tbh they treated us with more respect than most members of the public do-that gives them at least some plus point)

It's not like Airway obstruction nor anaphylaxis is untreatable/isn't absolutely manageable if caught early.

Anyway, can we please get a fundraiser for the poor queen of that bee?

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

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

Right?

keeping all that money didn't bring more security in this regard

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

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.

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.
