History of Bees

A quick scan of the major obituary columns has not yielded any satisfactory coverage of the recent demise of bees. For this reason, Water and Vegetables provides the internet's only comprehensive biographical timeline.

Millions of Years Ago: Join up with birds in one of the greatest alliances the world has ever known.
1825: Begin hosting spelling competitions in antebellum Kentucky
1957: Drunk three-way with African and German hotties they will later regret.
1979: Land lucrative cereal endorsement deal
1980s: Beeswax ownership increases dramatically among American youth, who subsequently encourage one another to "Mind your own!"
1987: Form a basketball franchise in Charlotte, NC (not very good at basketball)
1998: Collaborate with Wu-Tang Clan's RZA
2001: Friend incarcerated for gun assault, begin appearing on rappers' albums shouting "Free Pimp C"
2007: Suddenly die to the shock and chagrin of millions (thousands?) of bears worldwide.



At least they still have the Olympics to look forward to.
