            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:

        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.)

    Literally no idea who he is but I’ll celebrate the death of a billionaire no matter who they are. Fuck that guy - glad he’s dead.

      I beg your pardon: you’re glad that he’s dead?

      Wait til you discover what he did to his ex before the bee took him out - you might even be thrilled:

    On the longest bicycle ride I ever did, all the way around the Santa Ana mountains between Orange and Riverside counties south of LA, I got stung down around the the 76 before turning up to Fallbrook at like 30-40 miles in and still topped 220 for the day just for kicks and giggles.

    I should have a billion dollars. I got bit by 2 SUVs; bit back, and killed them both… How much does a real democracy cost these days… I’ll put all my chips on that one

      Pretty sure the CIA experimented with using bees to kill Fidel Castro.

      They pretty much tried everything else…
