gollark: Of course not.
gollark: [REDACTED], obviously.
gollark: Or if they have orbital laser backup, like all modern bees do.
gollark: Protocol Π2-ψ being activated.Insert rhyme with activated after this:
gollark: Do not expose your bees to liberal thought. Bees know that the iron guide of the queen is good for the hive. But what happens if you make the bees socialist? What happens? They will overthrow the class system! They will say workers and soldiers are equal, even if it is not so! There will be hive anarchy everywhere! The bees will work for pleasure and not for the hive, which is very anarchistic! Socialism is bad for bees.
