C'est la Vie by Jennifer Babcock for September 18, 2019

Ummm, in a jar with no source of food or water – how long did she think Beatrice would last?

and now she’ll compose an epic poem about Beatrice the way Dante did

First death in CLV… How sad

Can we watch Monna try and make Donna feel better, please.

On its back, check. Limbs sticking out, check. Tongue protruding, check. X’s on its eyes, check. Yep, it’s dead all right.

bee gone….

The bee lifespan diminishes their emotional support utility.

If she’s giving it mouth to mouth, will her next appearance be with bee-stung lips? (Yes, I know that’s the wrong end, but does Donna know?)

Though it is a cartoon bee not anywhere near a real one.

OMG! CCD!

NOO! Beeatrice, lassie, we hardly knew ye! Sob!

Will this severe trauma push Donna over the edge?

Mona, I’m glad you keep your passion for insects under control.

Worker bees don’t live all that long, particularly if the cannot return to the hive to eat.
