I’m not gonna read the thread BUT DID THEY FIND THE BEE MAN?!

I mean like, honestly. If they don’t find the guy, what do you do??

Leave them to die in the jar?

Let them go and risk that they are experimental bees with a zombie-making virus in their stingers and the whole nefarious thing is a plot and you’re falling right into it and helping to destroy the human race?

Call animal control?

I’m sure glad this isn’t my problem.

I have a conundrum: If you leave it behind, rather than it being left after you, is it properly a bequest?
