People have been using bees as medicine forever. I remember them using the stings to help with arthritis. Honey is one of nature's best medicine and properly stored it never goes bad.

Everything good is found in nature. Remember when I made that workout thread about building glutes by doing squatting gerbil clenches and everyone downvoted me? Rich Piana injected his body with roids (and did no gerbil clenches) and he died early. Think about it.

THIS WAS A HEADLINE 8 YEARS AGO. I remember reading this shit almost a decade ago, guess what, large pharma bought up the research and it got memoryholed. Here we are almost a decade later and its a headline again. Memory holed by Phiser in 3...2...

My grandma called bees her fountain of youth. Honey is good for wrinkle and blemish free skin. Royal jelly and propolis taken internally keeps ladies and their parts young.

And after decades of quilting and knitting stings helped her arthritic hands.

Plus honey is delicious.

Bees are amazing.

Checks out. A social insect that builds amazing structures, enables growth the world over, and heals.

Enter the Africanized killer bee. Low honey output, destroys honey bee hives to get ahead, a pestilence on this planet.

Fortunately, everything has its limit. The Africans don't like it too far north.

And they haven't figured out the welfare system yet either

Funny enough, that was the first time I'd returned to that website since https://web.archive.org/web/20191222091841/https://xkcd.com/1756/

I see there's a BLM banner at the top now, so i think I'll keep my distance again.

That's stupid. A rare miss for XKCD.

How could you miss at that close range?!
