Has Anyone Seen My Swarm of Angry Bees?

URGENT! – I seem to have misplaced my massive swarm/tornado of angry bees. They were last spotted headed northwest on Pennsylvania Ave. If anyone finds them, please let me know ASAP. They’re really angry.

In unrelated news, a DIFFERENT swarm of bees raided the White House on Friday, but that was NOT my swarm. Again, for legal reasons, a completely different swarm of angry bees raided the White House. What can I say? The bees are fed up, and this time they chose political violence. 

Thankfully, reporters were on the scene to relay the details, mainly because “the scene” was Pebble Beach, the press loading dock on the north lawn, where reporters were attempting to report on the Trump administration before being bombarded by bees. The chaos was described by one reporter as a “bee tornado,” a “bee-siege,” per TMZ, and to Fox News, “an unexpected buzz.” No stings were recorded, yet reporters still feared for their lives.

That’s what you get, reporters! Next time, don’t ask all those “stupid” questions about inflation or why the cost of Trump’s ballroom keeps skyrocketing, unless you want to get bee-tornado’d.

According to the New York Post, the swarm appeared “for reasons that are not entirely clear.” But I would argue the reasons were abundantly clear—Melania is finally starting her bee army. (Either that or it’s a very on-the-nose biblical warning).

The White House bee arsenal was recently expanded by the First Lady, following in the footsteps of Michelle Obama, who launched the White House honey program in 2009. Last month, during King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s state visit, the Trumps unveiled a new White House-shaped beehive that would live on the south lawn. The queen bee was happy; the other queen bee looked happy. So what went wrong?

Why did the bees go full Sharknado? Honeybee swarms occur naturally due to a lack of space in their hive, which is common after a springtime population surge. So it looks like the most plausible explanation for this swarm is that the bees are packing up and moving out, perhaps to a nearby tree, or a place where the humans don’t pave over rose gardens.

Whatever the reason, remain alert! The angry bee-nado is still at large, and they won’t rest until their queen is pleased, or until Trump moves out of the White House. Whichever comes first.
