Took the sting out of it.

They seem to be all in the same hive mind!

Agent X is droning on.

There is no planet B.

It’s a real honey of a deal … unless it is a sting operation…

Where ya gets that news from? Babylon Bee?

This deal will be front page news in the Sacramento Bee.

It’s a sting operation.

They want the pollen delivered to their storage facilities on the celestial object orbiting their planet. They call it their Honeymoon.

Hive they arrived at that conclusion?

Enough with the puns! Just let it bee!

Stop it! All of you!

They celebrated with hive fives.

They had Seven of Nine?!

( ͡ ﹏ʖ ͡  )

Wait until she learns that she’s included in the deal. Mars has some stuff the bees want, and well… you know.

Took the sting out of the situation.

As the bees head back to their own planet, they sing “Bee it ever so bumble, there’s no place like comb”.

A bee-utiful deal!

Well, someone’s sure to bumble it and the deal will fall through.

(I thought ‘space honey’ was what you call the women in skimpy, impractical spacesuit on pulp magazine covers.)

Hope there’s no stings attached

Et tu, Pam?

Plan Bee from outer space!

Oh pun the door. I’m leaving.

I’m skeptical of that plan. I don’t think it’ll fly.

Hive had it with these puns! The next person to make one gets 20 wax.

I wrote a fake news story (I used to do it on a weekdaily basis) about killer spelling bees. They would stop busloads of tourists and make them spell words. If you got it wrong they would sting you. It became a horror story when people would spell a word correctly and yet still be stung. It turns out bees can’t spell. :)

Wow, the puns are flowing today.

As Austin Powers said, “Oh Bee Hive!”

See, there’s still more puns to be made.

That peace treaty’s big (yeah, yeah, yeah), it’s not small (no, no, no)!

Enough of these STINGING comments!

Panel 3: Rat from Pearls Before Swine floats by in a spacesuit, whacking holes in the window with his baseball bat.

that plan is the bees’ knees…

No need to drone on about it.

They should organize a blood drive on the station, and try to collect as much BEE-Positive blood as possible!
