A bee goes up-to a wasp and gloatingly asks him who had the harder sting.
The wasp replied "you do my mate"
So the bee laughed and said "you know wasp, you know"
Just as the wasp was going he turned to the bee and threw a question at him.
"Yes your sting is much more powerful than mine, but is it really worth death? I mean yeah its hard, but its not worth your life is it?"
The bee looked at the wasp with disgust, without realising the truth, he felt the wasp had insulted him somehow.
"how dare you insult me with silly questions."
At that the bee felt a moment of rage and lunged toward the wasp as punishment for his cheek.
But the wasp quickly shifted left and the bee's sting hit a piece of wood.

Interesting but sad story.

Interesting but sad story. The honeybee is such a wonderful symbol of nobility, the heroic honeybee who dies for the sake of queen and colony (although it does so without thinking). The bee in your story sacrifices his life needlessly out of pride and anger rather than for an important cause. Thats
the moral that I took from it, anyway.
