There was once a Bee named Steve.
He was a horribly mean Killer Bee who buzzed around and did Killer Bee things like kill, sting and act in tandem with a swarm to sting and get people away from his hive. But after his Queen died, Steve decided it was time to settle elsewhere because the strain was really just too much for his little Killer Bee head.
Steve went to the place he was born, which some called Hawaii and he tended to consider it the Big Island with lots of flowers. It was very nice there. He liked it but he was very sad that the Queen had died. She was a great Queen and he was a good Killer Bee for her. Maybe he should just give up on all of this.
He sighed deeply, deciding that he should just sting someone and die when his eye caught on a very loud flower which smelled really, really sweet. He might as well drink a bit before he stung someone, right?
Danny heard the bee and scowled up at him. Yet another bee to just pollinate, take his nectar and leave him. Great, fantastic. He really thought he had something with that one bee, Rachel, but that hadn’t worked out. Although she did pollinate another flower and that one created a beautiful bloom named Grace so it wasn’t a total loss. Still, though. He was getting a little tired of being used and abused out here, all alone.
Steve landed on the flower. “Hi. Can I have some nectar?”
Danny looked at this bee, wondering when the hell Bees ever asked. “Excuse me?”
“Hi. Can I please have some nectar? My name is Steve and I just want something to drink. I’ll be out of your petals soon enough.”
Danny considered the bee and sighed dramatically. “If you must, then sure, why not? I’ll just sit here while you drink me and waste further away when you fly off to wherever you came from and pollinate some other flower bed with my pollen and I’ll just be here with no one else unless the wind blows just right and Gracie is able to lean over to where I am.”
Steve looked around and saw a vine a little ways away that was loose. That must be Gracie. Still, this flower talked an awful lot. “I won’t take much. I’m not going to pollinate anything.”
“What? Why?” The flower demanded.
“I’m going to sting something then die. So, like I said, I’ll just take a little then you can carry on.”
“Whoa! Just- Whoa! What is your deal?! You’re just going to say hasta la vista? For what?”
“My Queen died. I couldn’t save her so I’m going to sting someone, lose my stinger then die. You seem awfully concerned for me. I don’t even know what you call yourself.”
“My name is Danny, Mr. Steve the suicidal Bee. Man, it’s stupid to pull that shit. Stop it. Stop it now.”
“Um… I don’t get it. Why do you care?”
“Because. I just do. Don’t look so smug, I just know that I wouldn’t be here without the Bees and that’s you included. So, you should stick around. Find a new Queen, build a hive. “
“Do you really think I could?”
“Yeah, sure, why not? Who better?”
Steve the Bee considered this and drank just a little. “Thank you,” he said simply before taking flight.
“HEY! Hey, where do you think you’re going?”
“To build a new hive. Duh. You told me to do it just five seconds ago.”
Danny gaped at him as Steve the Bee smiled at him, waved one of his arms and went to find a new Queen. Maybe Kono was looking for a Killer Bee to protect her Hive… It would be pretty sweet to see Chin and Kamekona again
