Bummer. I was hoping to ask whether there was a honey flavor or more of a floral sugar flavor. Apparently it's a quick death.

I wanna bee a billionaire, so fucking bad
You've just given new meaning to the Bruno Mars song
Beelionaire
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.
So, apropro of nothing, is it possible to train bees?
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
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.

Luigi the Bee.
I was stung once by a bee when I was a kid and my mother threw mud on it. While the mud dried, it drew out the stinger.
anyhow, mad props to bees. They are heroes more ways than one. I actually find this quite inspirational. No matter how small and insignificant you may feel you are, small acts can still have big consequences.
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 :)

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!

Hahahaha. Good.
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.

That's hilarious.
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.

For the bee
You would think, with all his money and outdoor polo playing, that he would KNOW that he has a severe bee allergy and carry an epi-pen.
