Just imagine observing bees hard at work, collecting nectar and pollen to support their hive and contribute to the ecosystem. However what is unknown is that among these bees, there are criminals who have rather malicious intentions. In order to ease themselves from working, they attack well stocked hives, committing horrible acts of violence against the inhabitants. The same effects can be seen when given a mixture of honey and brandy. While drunk, they become irritable and lack all motivation to do work, attacking beehives for food.

Especially since their populations are threatened by global warming and human activity, it is important that bees learn to cooperate with one another and not surrender themselves to drinking and violence.

This has been a public service announcement.
