Fun fact: The reason superheroes hide their alter egos is beecause they’re not actually human and they don’t want people to realize that they’re secretly just a conglomerate of bees

[beesamongus]

Dunno how I missed out on the pun "alter beegos" here

Fun fact: Morgan Freeman (who also happens to bee a beekeeper by the way, with 26 hives) doesn’t wear a protective suit when tending to his hives and feeding his bees and such because he is “at one with the bees”

Random quote from the article: "Flea's passion for beekeeping is twofold: In addition to his unabashed 'love' for the insect – 'Pleezus more beezus' and 'Me about to get busy with my beautiful little bees that I love,' he wrote in June – the bassist's environmental concerns also inspired him to cultivate an apiary of 'Flea's bees.'"

He also happens to be widely acknowledged as one of the best bass guitar players of all time, just sayin’

Were I to screenshot all of the conversations I’ve ever had involving bee puns, I actually have enough where I could make a tumblr account just for that and the queue would never ever bee empty (and no I’m not exaggerating here).

The loss of bees is the root of all heartache.

Ah yes, a bee on tumblr, one of the few rare “bumblr bees”. It’s such a marvel to see one in the wild like this, on the internet.

I like to just refer to this site as tumbeelr

Some facts about bees (and hornets)

The Mayans had soldiers specializing in throwing hornet nests at their enemies in battle. They covered themselves in thick mud to protect themselves from the obvious potential for blowback.

According to William Gurstelle in "The Art of the Catapult," Alexander the Great had his catapults fire hornets' nests onto the decks of enemy galleys during the Siege of Tyre.

A cancelled US Army weapons project involved a chemical weapon that, when dropped on enemy troops, would attract and enrage any bees, wasps, or related insects in the area. The project was never fully realized.

One episode of the Discovery show Pitchmen featured an aspiring inventor trying to sell windshield wipers that could, among other things, remove splattered bugs from a windshield. To demonstrate the product, his friend designed a gun that shot bees at a windshield at a high velocity.

In the Middle Ages, throwing/catapulting beehives over city walls at attacking armies was an effective tactic, and fairly common, as in those days honey was the most available sweetener and almost everybody had a couple of hives around.

The Battle of Tanga, also known as the Battle of the Bees, so called because the 98th Infantry of the British Indian Empire had the bad luck of being near a massive bee hive that had gotten shot and the angry Anthophilas had thought they were the ones to do it.

Bosses of the Greenfield Valley Heritage Park in northeast Wales are considering "using bees to deter people from going into the protected buildings." Yes, that's right. To deter vandals in the park, they're considering employing security bees.

Fun fact: Eddie Izzard once did a stand-up piece about bees

[beesamongus]

For those of you looking for ideas for a new security system

Little known fact about Vergil: his self-written epitaph was actually unfinshed. The last line, “I sang of pastures, farms, and rulers,” was supposed to be, “I sang of my love of bees,” but he simply left it as “I sang of,” and it was finished for him.

The bee section of tumblr gets bigger every day.

“To bee or not to bee?” asks the queen bee. “That is not the question. You must bee. There is no better life than a bee’s.”
