Girl: Bees are evil! Frazz: Bees pollinate. No bees, no plats. No plants, no life. Girl: So they get some kind of free pass just for making the world inhabitable? Okay, what about bees that pollinate broccoli? Frazz: Still crucial.
There ARE other pollinators, from certain kinds of Birds to the action of the Wind. Granted that Bees are usually considered the most EFFICIENT pollinators, and we all love the Honey, but Plants were around LONG BEFORE Bees evolved.
OK, for those that are allergic, bees can be “evil”. But really, where would we be without the benefit of their work — not only their key role in flowering-plant proliferation, but we can not, we must not, ever forget about their barf. What kind of society would we have without the joy of a dollop of fresh bee barf in your cup of tea? Or mixed with lemon as a sore-throat cure? And there would be no Winnie the Pooh!!! Oh the Humanity!!

Hey, I like broccoli. But mostly just raw with ranch dressing, or in small amounts added to other dishes.

If Frazz was making a pun out of broccoli being a cruciferous veggie, Mr, Mallett played that well.
