Description
To Bee or not to bee , that is the question.
Bumble Bee Kings do not exist in nature , Drone bees do exist but they are not kings. They have one purpose and then they die
Shakespeare has Hamlet speak these words "To be or not to be, that is the question". Hamlet is depressed about his Uncle killing his father and then marring his mother.He appears to be thinking about commiting sucide . But then the poem asks, what is death ?, is it like being asleep and dreaming or is it final nothingness.Will you have bad dreams in death or only sleep?The unknown he says "makes cowards of us all".Hamlet ,finally wonders if people should exist at all," A pretty raw and sobbering idea
This portrait of a King Bee is only worried about himself and the place he holds in this world..He hold his hairy arms and legs close to his body in a protective gesture of narcissism. If he were a drone he would have a final act to proform and Bee gone.
Additionally the word Bumble Bee comes from the old German word humbal. This was a nickname given to a man who had an excitable nature or temperment.King Clovis and Emperor Napoleon used this bumble bee symbol in their coat of arms.Thanks VIVA

Yes, Joel, a King Bee would be an amazing feat and I am sooooo glad you understand the bold desire of royality, in this Shakespearean insect.

I love this. You know you just led us to Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows about rages fortune. Or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing do them. Your technique is fantastic. Bravo!
Oh, Richard you know your Shakespeare. And the sea of troubles I am afraid we all will pay a twitter price for them. ;-(( Thank-you friend for your comments.
