To Bee or not to Bee

Time for a guest post from reader AB, whose adorable French bulldogs Grogu and Rey have graced this space many times. But be warned, the message concerns the dire threat posed by (ominous pause) Franconized honeybees.

These hybrid insects are much larger and more dangerous than ordinary bees, weighing around 22 Newtons. Worse, they have an organ located under the stinger that releases toxic fumes. None of us are safe from the threat of Franconized honeybees. My friend Sage, of Simply Kind Frenchies, actually had one of these monsters in her house! We were able to contain it, but not before it released its noxious gas.

I keep telling you, change my food.
