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.

RIP to Beeuigi who died in the throat of some shitty guy playing horse golf

[–] Core_of_Arden@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 hours ago

I feel for the bee...

That's so sad to hear! Rest in peace, Bee McBuzzington, hero of the People!

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 3 points 11 hours ago

I'm pretty certain it was B-Wing in this case 🀣

Damn that's tragic, hope the bee's family is ok

I thought "Another one??" but clicked through and saw this is from June 17, 2025.

Yeah I thought it was gonna be something like the whales taking out yatchs but bees taking out super rich polo players

Excited for some guys grandchild to see the unclassified docs about the CIA shooting custom bees down people’s throats in 25 years

Suddenly bees seem a bit, dare I say... Sexy

[–] Nusm@piefed.zip 52 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Boy, they really decided to go dark with the Bee Movie sequel, huh?

Bee safe everyone

He deserves a goddamned posthumous award. There will never a death more β€˜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 β€œMan dies after swallowing a bee at a Polo match” that your reaction is anything but β€œI wonder which billionaire that was.”

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

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.

That poor bee

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The bee took one for the team.

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

Story is from June 17th. I thought it sounded familiar since we all read about it when it actually happened.

Ig I'm one of today's lucky ~~10,000~~ 410

Doesn't that Bee know you're ONLY supposed to Kill CHILDREN in Schools or Refugee Camps?

Even the bees know, the 1% are at fault.

[–] rauls5@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

That’s gotta sting!

Bees have always been comrades of the working man.
