        True. Everyone knows car thiefs enjoy a nice bee snack. Venemous bees arent good enough, they need to be poisonous too now. We really are ignoring geneva conventions these days.

      Bees are only venomous if they sting you.

      But if you are eating delicious bee snacks out of a stolen purse, you’d need them to be poisoned to hurt the thief.

      edit I just realized Zulu made the same comment I did, like 2 hours earlier. Fuck, now I look like a copy and paste bot.

        No. You still need to get stung in your mouth or throat, and that’s venom. You can eat bees til the cows come home. I wouldn’t eat the purse though.

          As far as ways to pass the time while waiting for livestock goes, it’s not the MOST conventional, but I guess we all need at least one hobby 🤷

      How do you know for certain that the bee isn’t coated in poison? Perhaps said bees wallowed in poison ivy effectively coating themselves in the leaves poisonous oil? We can’t assume, you know what they say about assumptions?

      You don’t actually know that. Perhaps they marinaded the bees in cyanide hoping the burglar would eat them.
