The formal yellow and black tie event was hosted by the royalty of the workers union to address a swarm of concerns associated with questionable colony conditions and monotonous job descriptions.
A collection of bumbling scaramouch characters, feeling the assembly was droning on and accomplishing nothing, imbibed at the open nectar bar only to later embarrass themselves by passing out on a distant patio.

Very clever…and I’m relieved to see that these are wasps and not bees. The decimation of colonies of bee pollinators is a very sad situation indeed.

I don’t oft laugh about death, yes even wasps, and at first was sad to see “dead”. Yet I pushed on through those sad thoughts, and managed to laugh, which in the end, far outweighs a frown. (smile) Thank you again!

The union metaphor is also something I can appreciate.
I just keep wondering why the bees died…
