The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for May 13, 2023

She, not he, and that’s impressive lifting power, but how is she going to pull the trigger?

an armed drone…scary!

careful, it’s loaded with yellow jacket hollow points

When I find myself in front of a pistol,

Mother Hiver comes to me

Speaking words of my doom,

let it, bee

I got to have a shot

’Cause what you got is, oh, so sweet

You got to make a lot

Like a bumblebee I look when I eat

Gimme all your honey

All your combs and beeswax too

Gimme all your honey

Giddyup! I can kung fu

They know what beauty looks like because they are bee holders.

Seems to be a sticky situation.

I guess that gun is a derringer. A bee-shooter would be less weighty.

Didn’t he star in The Sting?

Better do what “he” (a “trans” worker bee?) says. That’s Eliot, and he means Bee’s Ness.

This is a good time to wax eloquently…

“Why Mister Bee, my honey is standing next to me!”

His colony is on stand by in case you won’t give him the goods, they’ll swarm on cue! So buzz off, Frank, and give him the combs!

Well, I’m a king bee

Buzzin’ around yo’ hive

Well, I’m a king bee

Buzzin’ around yo’ hive

Well, I can make honey, baby

Let me come inside

- Slim Harpo

Stimpy! Helup!

It’s a stickup!

She’s obviously a classic bee movie villain.

His honey is none of your beeswax!

A two-fer

Oh Lord. The NRA’s arming insects now.

It seems a sticky situation.

The honey or your wife!

Honey thief,

You are making me crazy.

From a rose or a daisy,

Just bring that nectar home.

—apologies to Sir J. P. McCartney

And Frankie never noticed her two thirty-eights?

Alternate ending to “The Swarm”.

Why are the humans’ arms above their shoulders?

At least the bee is well-armed.

I beelieve him, that’s not his regular stinger…

Not Funny, no comment.

“Is anybody going to help that poor man?” ( Blazing Saddles )

Wonderfully silly!

The Killer Bees lesser known but still dangerous cousins Robbery Bees

WHAT? Nobody told him he should mind his own beesness?
