So the MSM acts like honey bees except they are more specific. The MSM used bovine dung to try and fend off the truth. In most everything else, they are more like the dung.

I saw “Honey Bees” and “Animal Dung” in the headline, I thought the article was about Eric Swalwell.

Kind of like the main stream media and big tech use bullshit to fend off truth pushed out by conservatives and Trump.

Watched a show where bees defended their hive by grabbing the murder hornet scout and swarming all over it; the increase in temperature killed the scout...

Color me dense.

Didn’t occur to me until just now that poop covered hives could pose a contamination problem for raw honey...

One other thing, maybe in addition to keeping our eyes peeled for Giant Asian Murder Hornets, beekeepers could be asked to report fecal spotting behaviors by honey bees.

The poop might be a handy early warning sign.
