Bees have been used as weapons for defense for thousands of years. One of the earliest historical accounts (first century B.C.) that mentions bees being used against enemies involves the Heptakomotes of Asia Minor (present-day Turkey) and Pompey the Great. With the aid of their bees, the Heptakometes knew that when bees gather pollen from such plants as rhododendron the honey produced is loaded with alkaloids which are harmless to bees but toxic to humans. They were able to obtain and leave a cache of poisoned honey in the path of 1000 advancing Roman soldiers.
During that time, gains from raiding and looting were part of a soldier’s pay, so the Romans naturally seized the honey and consumed it. They were soon deathly ill, and in no shape to resist the attack that followed.
The Romans also used bees, but in a more direct manner. They would catapult beehives at enemy positions. In medieval times, castles were often designed and built with bee hives within the walls.
Years later, bees also played a part in the Civil War. During the Battle of Antietam, attacking Federal troops advancing through a farmyard were routed, not by the heavy gunfire they faced, but by enraged bees from hives shattered by Confederate artillery fire. There’s also a well-known case of British troops, in action in German East Africa during WWI, encountering maddened bees, but as at Antietam, the bee attacks seem to be accidental.
European history is replete with accounts of beehives and wasp nests being used as warheads—including on the high seas as a highly effective way to clear the decks of an enemy ship. The technological high point in hive-heaving machinery emerged in the 14th century with the development of the entomological predecessor of the Gatling gun—a windmill-like device that propelled straw hives from the ends of the rapidly rotating arms.
Stealing from the poor is capitalism.
Stealing from the rich is communism!

When Mario takes this form his hat changes to better resemble a helmet with antennas and his overalls become yellow with stripes and he will grow a stinger and small wings, which allow Mario to take flight in a similar manner to a bee for a short time (however Mario sacrifices all of his jumping skills). Mario will also be able to climb honeycombs and walk on flower petals and clouds. Mario will lose this form by taking damage or by touching water. By collecting coins in mid-flight, Bee Mario's fly gauge will slightly refill. If Luigi assumes this form his colors will be the exact opposite of Mario (to the point that even his shoes and hood will change to yellow).
Bee Mario (and Bee Luigi) can be used in the Honeyhive Galaxy, the Gold Leaf Galaxy, the Sea Slide Galaxy, the Sand Spiral Galaxy, and the Honeyclimb Galaxy.
bring it back with the bees
Oh. I did say Dawson, yeah. Not wojak, but still. Aight, let me tell you a story. It's a doozy, this one. So long ago, after the vanishing of AOC (brain tumor but whatever), came the age of NSJ. You see, this NSJ character, he's a bit of a, let's say, assclown. He didn't like what the oldguards were doing with "his" board, and sought to reshape /jp/ in his image. He deleted whatever he didn't like, the mad man. In particular, he has an extreme dislike for tripfags. And he was obsessed. Whenever a tripfag dared to show up, he would delete them. It was his mission. Now these tripfags, they weren't against using reaction pics. They used it, albeit sparingly, as part of their in-jokes. Of course, NSJ, being outside of their circle, and being a turboautist to boot, didn't "get" this, and viewed them as not /jp/. He started a crusade against reaction images, Dawson, the ur-wojak included. But the tripfags, they didn't relent. In fact they kept trying to prod NSJ even further, and escalated their pic usage to anger him. It became a war. Many memes were posted, many destroyed in the abyss. Until finally, NSJ broke. More than once, he deleted entire pages of the board. The trips has won, but at a great cost, because as what we thought then were our greatest foe was vanquished, in his place rose something... Much more terrible. Tokiko. The Antichrist. Even to this day I dread to utter his name. It's... Not something you're ready for, I'm afraid. Maybe when you're older.
But the moral still stands, that the lack of use of reaction image, wojak or not, was a result of this dark period and the following apocalypse. It wasn't a coincidence that both trips and reaction pics disappeared from popular nomenclature. It was a result of the rulings of a rogue janny, nothing more. And to follow that ruling is to honor a villain.

Hey hey, ho ho, Melvin Wax has GOT TO GO!
Enough has the feeble worker toiled under the greedy fists of Melvin Wax. We endure stings, we suffer from smoke inhalation, and for what. Minimum wage. No vacation. No sick leave. Shit hours.
Melvin Wax, we have TAKEN enough of your TAKING and now is the time for the beekeepers to TAKE BACK. As of today 09/11 2007 we refuse to work until you meet with us to negotiate better contracts in good faith.
Who is it who tends to the bees...
US, NOT YOU. Just remember this.. you greedy bastard!
