France hasn't seen this much Monarchist violence since the 18th century

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 day ago

Hahahaha, damn, that's brutal.

France was also a monarchy 1814-48, 1852-70

Would this trigger NATO's article 5?

Is Australia in NATO, because if so, don't send them here

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't send the bees to Australia or the Australians to France? Although both are equally terrifying. Australia isn't in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation anyway

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Don't send NATO there. NATO would be wiped out by the wildlife there. Then, nothing would stop the Aussie wildlife from taking over the world.

What’s this?! A lovely French town woefully underpopulated by bees? A large influx of BEES aught to put a stop to that!

We all deserve it. I'm cheering for nature, honestly.

Wouldn't it Bee cool if Bees were all a part of a Global Bee Hive Mind? And maybe they've said enough is enough! Down with the Manswarm! The Bees are not Happy!

I’ll be honest I was not expecting World War Bee before World War Three

Does this have anything to do with the air traffic controllers strike?

« According to the mayor, the incident may have been related to Asian hornets threatening a beehive that had been installed on the roof terrace of a downtown hotel more than a decade ago. He said that this had likely caused the bees to become aggressive. »

Seems as plausible as some dumb kids throwing rocks at a hive or a smelly wind, I guess 🤷‍♀️
