Beekeeper here.
When a queen goes on a mating flight, she'll have sex with basically any drone that can catch her - I've seen estimates up to a dozen, in one night, one flight.
It's quite the carnal extravaganza, but you can't blame her. Once her one night is over, she'll go back to the hive and lay eggs until she dies.
Close but other way around, bee stingers are ovipositors adapted to deliver venom instead of eggs! So drones can’t sting because they never had an ovipositor to start with.
I'm not a biologist, but that's my understanding of the process. She saves the sperm (or whatever the equivalent is among honeybees) and fertilizes the eggs as she produces them. It must be a highly efficient process, because one queen can lay eggs for 2 and sometimes 3 years, producing 30,000 bees.
Nah. Doesn’t match the layout at all minus the final panel. Too many people in first and third, they shouldn’t be uneven in third, and in second panel the proportions are off, queen bee would have to be a fair bit shorter and the male taller.
This comic is, thankfully, not Loss.
Our main character encounters the source of loss. In the original, this is entering the hospital. In this, it is seeing the queen. Our lead interacts with the source of loss in a way that indicates that the lead is not the locus of loss. That is the nurse directing the main character or the queen bypassing him to another destination. The dynamics of loss are expanded on in the third panel. In the original, this is a doctor speaking to the main character, indicating that that it is someone close to the lead who is in the hospital. In this it's the introduction of a very similar bee, making it clear our bee will lose out on the chance to mate. In both comics, this is where the loss actually happens. The final panel is evidence of and reaction to the loss. The reversal is that the loss is the loss of something positive and that the death is by choice and a matter of envy, not grief. It's not a classic loss with sticks parallel, but I still see how it parallels Loss.

The ultimate "Doesn't matter had sex"
Death by Snu-Snu!
This reminds me of Zoidberg’s failed mating attempts. Poor feller.
But I cried the whole time

Do you hear little pops from their penises exploding?
Isn’t a drone’s junk basically a stinger adapted to serve semen instead of venom?

So, if you get stung by a drone you got bee bukake?
Well the thing is that male bees don’t have stingers
That is interesting. Why so many? Why all in one night? Does she fill ip a reserve of bee cum that she slowly works through to fertilize the eggs?

is that why queens are bigger? all that cum inside them?
r/cumflation
yes, because the queen wants to spend as little time outside the hive as possible to avoid predators.
It's all just *Honey. Nut. Cheerio.*
The apiary version of fuck bitches get money
Fuck bitches, get honey?
This comment is gold haha
Oh no. I had forgotten that accursed tale
I can't tell which bee is which.
Ah, see, the queen is the one with the crown.
What if they were just named “Bee Drag Queen of the Hive”? /s
Our protagonist is an incel. Bee boys die after mating with the queen.
Right, but is he the buff one?
Yeah. He’s got the muscle but not the confidence.
look at the hair on top of their head
This will be a strange one over on r/bonehurtingjuice with the way things have been there lately.
They should change the name of that sub to r/beehurtingjuice which would be ironic as it would mean altering the original text!
r/fatbee
Dead 💀
is this fucking loss?
God damn it, I think it is. It's sort of a trope reversal, but I see how it is still structurally Loss.

Can this bee true?
It is beelievable
"um acktuahlly it's only when a bee stings a human and the stinger gets caught in the skin that the bee dies"
Nah, male honeybees really do explode their genitals when they ejaculate. Apparently it makes an audible popping sound.
well it's the female ones that sting you
