The queen in the hive will not be amused...

But if you add to that the fact that the pollen got stuck to their little butts...Well, you're welcome.  

Hear that buzzzz? There are some funny bees here who would like to make your day so much better!   

The city of Utrecht, the fourth-largest city in the Netherlands, saw an opportunity to help contribute to saving the bees from their rapid decline. Their idea was simple, to take the regular bus stop and convert their rooftops to a bee haven. Their new wholesome purpose is a brilliant, and frankly, quite beautiful, step to restoring the bee population. 

McDonald's has unveiled a mini version of its iconic restaurant in a bid to attract thousands of 'important guests' every day. complete with drive-thru windows and al fresco tables, the fast food company is calling the branch it's 'smallest McDonald's in the world', but it is actually a fully functioning beehive. We think it's sure worth buzzing about.

The unseen residents of Notre Dame, roughly 180,000 bees, were currently living on its' roof when the fire broke out. 

Beekeeper, Nicolas Geant, who tend to them was worried they wouldn't survive the blaze but when he returned to assess the damage, he was relieved to find out they survived!  

Three hives were placed on the roof in 2013 to help boost the population as the numbers were dramatically declining. Since the hives where installed, Geant has been overseeing them and sharing updating on his Instagram page.
