  Yep. Knock yourself out Pooh Bearing.

  Finally we get to sting those sons of bitches back!   For real tho I hope this is successful. >
  
  Good luck getting these science-illiterate little guys to trust us. They'll drone on and on about about conspiracies you'd never beelieve. >
  
  Conspiracy beeorists. >
  
  Bumbling little fools. >
  
  Scully it's Mulder ... they're vaccinating the bees >
  
  I spent hours on the phone with my bee guy because I ordered 1,000 bees for my hive and I counted and they'd delivered 1,001 bees. So we're going back and forth about do I pay for the additional one or do I send him back and who would pay for shipping if I did, what's the marginal cost of the one extra, etc. 
  Finally he said, "Fuck it, that's a freebie." >
  
  This joke made me break out in hives. >
  
  Really stings, don’t it? >
  
  “In a perfect scenario, the queens could be fed a cocktail within a queen candy – the soft, pasty sugar that queen bees eat while in transit”
  Mmmm, queen candy. >
  
  She never goes anywhere without her Queen Candy. >
  
  If you introduce a queen to a hive, the hive will immediately try to kill her.  They need time to acclimate to her scent.
  Instead of just throwing her in and letting the hive have at her, you have to put her in a little cage and plug the hole with what they call queen candy.  The queen and her attendants eat their way out of the cage over the course of about a week.  Hopefully by that time the hive has accepted her. >
  
  Oh noes! The bees are gonna get the autisms!1!!
  Seriously though, this is awesome, bees need all the help they can get! Amazing technology. >
  
  Imagine all the vaccinated bees just picking up an easel and paints and painting tons of still life flowers. It's gonna be an epidemic. >
  
  Nah, they're bees. So they're gonna hyper-focus on the dancing, but they're all gonna be anxious about dancing in public, so they'll become wallflowers.  
  Hallmark, contact me for the movie rights to a better bee movie: Pollinating The Wallflowers: Finding Love Among The Blossoms. >
  
  They love line dancing >
  
  But where are we going to find enough tiny cowboy boots so the bees can have a hoedown? >
  
  Buzz barn western wear, you won't  bee-lieve the crazy deals you'll get. Have the whole hive buzzing and boot stomping. >
  
  Those honeybees are going to have a fantastic 5G signal!!!!
  /s >
  
  Nah, they'll give off 5B instead >
  
  This is just about the happiest news I've heard in a long time. >
  
  The bees are happy. >
  
  Bee Happy! >
  
  Companies are already preparing to sell non vaccinated bee honey at exaggerated prices. For the organic non GMO crowd. >
  
  I wonder if they will have a new customer base with the other side of the pendulum that are just against vaccinations now. >
  
  Could we see a vaccination needle for honeybees? Ha ha, now you're gonna know how it feels! >
  
  As a beekeeper I’m starting a business.  $10 to vaccinate a bee. >
  
  Hello yes I would like to get my bees vaccinated.  
  Ok sir that will be $500,000 cash or card? >
  
  No, you pay me for the privilege of stinging one of my bees with a needle. >
  
  yeah that's a huge market just look at the top rated comment >
  
  Domesticated bees are a lot like any other commercial livestock. Their genetics have been over manipulated, making them more susceptible to diseases and parasites. Most articles about bees are about commercial bee hives and not wild bees. Wild bees tend to have more diversity, so the verona mites aren't as big of a problem as they are for bees that have been bred specifically for their docility and honey production. >
  
  This vaccine doesn’t help with varroa mites…which sucks. I can’t say I’ve worried about foulbrood in my apiary. >
  
  Hard to vaccinate for parasites. >
  
  Ah now my half-bee Eric can be safe from Covid! >
  
  
  The vaccine, which will initially be available to commercial beekeepers, aims to curb foulbrood, a serious disease caused by the bacterium Paenibacillus larvae that can weaken and kill hives.
  
  Foulbrood is an awesome name. Like something out of a video game where you need to collect a secret item to remove the Foulbrood and get to the next level or some shit. >
  
  Anyone here see the X-Files movie. >
  
  Was this the first movie? I don't recall bees being in the second movie. >
  
  They should wear masks and stay 1.5cm apart until the vaccine rollout. >
  
  The Verroa mite is killing our bees. >
  
  I’ve never had a problem with foulbrood. Varroa yes >
  
  Beekeeper checking in - American foulbrood is not as prevalent as this article implies.  It is actually 4th or 5th on the list of issues for the honeybee. >
  
  What is the number #1 issue? >
  
  Varroa mites >
  
  so I can get vaccinated against honey bees? does this mean I can't get stung? /s
