I was happy to finally see the real Haru. In the manga her character is underplayed, eclipsed by the others… in the last few chapters she shines brighter.

And so does Nio

Queen bees, from The First Book of Bees by Albert B. Tibbets, 1952.

THE MOST IMPORTANT BEE

All of the bees who take care of the hive and bring in food are female bees, and they are all worker bees.

Besides them, one special female bee in every hive is the queen. Her body is beautiful and shiny, and she is much bigger and longer than the workers. She is the mother of all the bees, and she does all the egg-laying. That is her only job.

The queen is the most important bee in the hive. She sometimes lays as many as a million eggs altogether. A strong colony has between fifty and eighty thousand bees in it at honey-making time. So the queen has to lay a lot of eggs.

The workers are never too busy to take good care of her. A few of them always go around with her in the hive to feed her and keep her clean.

QUEEN OF THE HIVE

When a new queen is ready to look for a mate she flies from the hive and finds a number of drones easily because of their loud buzzing. After making herself known to them, the queen starts flying up and up into the air. All the drones follow her, and the swiftest and strongest one finally catches her. They mate and the queen returns to the hive. In a few days she will begin to lay eggs.

Usually a queen mates only once in her lifetime, but she can often go on laying eggs for two or three years afterward. All during the time that nectar is flowing she lays eggs, with only brief rests. She stops if there is a spell of bad weather that keeps the workers from gathering nectar, but she starts again when they do. Then, when frost kills the flowers in the fall, she stops for the winter. In spring, she begins again when field bees start bringing in nectar.

As long as the queen lays eggs, the workers pay great attention to her. They stand around in a circle, ready to feed her. As she moves about in the hive she waves the feelers on her head. She can tell which workers have honey to give her by crossing her feelers with theirs. The workers open their mouths, and the queen puts in her tongue to suck up the honey. They clean her and caress her and comb her hair with the combs on their legs. They even bathe her with their tongues. All this attention seems to help her lay many eggs.

Queen Bee from Carol Ann’s Carousel in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Buzzing about Queen Bees: Where to Stream This Golden Oldie

Remember that heartwarming film about sassy seniors and the unexpected twists of life in a retirement home?

Checkout Here

I'm talking about Queen Bees, starring the ever-fabulous Ellen Burstyn!

Well, folks, if you've been itching to catch this gem, I've got some good news and a little bad news.

The Good: Netflix USA has finally buzzed in and snatched up the streaming rights for Queen Bees!

That means if you're in the US, you can cozy up on the couch and get your fill of witty banter, heartwarming friendships, and maybe even a tear or two (happy tears, of course!).

The Not-So-Good: Buckle up, international honeybees, because this news might sting a bit.

Due to some pesky geo-restrictions, Queen Bees is currently unavailable to stream outside the US. I know, it's a bummer.

But hey, there's always hope! Maybe Netflix will see the light (and the global demand) and spread its wings to other countries soon.

So, where can you catch Queen Bees if you're not in the US?

Well, you've got a couple of options. You can wait patiently for Netflix to expand its reach, or you can snag a physical copy of the movie on DVD (Amazon might be your best bet).

Renting it online is also an option, but hey, owning a copy lets you revisit these golden oldies anytime you please.

What's Queen Bees all about, you ask?

Imagine this: Ellen Burstyn plays Helen, a fiercely independent woman who, after a bit of a mishap, finds herself in a swanky retirement community.

Picture bingo nights with a side of high-stakes bridge games, and you've got the gist.

Helen soon clashes with the resident clique, the aptly named "Queen Bees," led by the formidable Jane Curtin.

But amidst the playful feuds and gossip, Helen discovers unexpected friendships, heartwarming connections, and maybe even a chance at love with the charming James Caan.

Is it worth the buzz?

Queen Bees might not have critics swooning with unanimous praise, but it's a delightful blend of humor, heart, and relatable themes about aging, friendship, and finding unexpected joy in life's later chapters. Plus, the cast is phenomenal!

Ellen Burstyn delivers a nuanced performance as Helen, and the supporting cast adds layers of wit and charm.

So, there you have it! The scoop on where to find Queen Bees and why it might just be the perfect movie to add a little sweetness to your day.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with some popcorn and Netflix (if I'm in the US, that is!).

P.S. If you're lucky enough to have already seen Queen Bees, let me know what you thought!

Did it tickle your funny bone?

Like i mentioned a few times, Chloe's family has been training her to be the new Bee miraculous holder since Zoe and her were kids. Unlike Kagami who was basically raised by the Supreme, Chloe didn't really know about the Supreme or what exactly her parents were preparing her for. She just knew that her parents were involved in some shady organization, but not any details.

Zoe was the Supreme's original choice for the Bee Miraculous, but due to her running away from home, it was given to the second candidate. Chloe got what she wanted, but she has to deal with lots of angst about being the second choice and constantly getting compared to her sister who excelled at everything. Basically Tahani and Kamilah Al-Jamil, but with magic bee jewels.

As Hornet Queen / Sting (can't pick between those two names) she doesn't usually fight alongside Kagami, Luka and Felix. She usually does her own solo thing, but would occasionally be assigned to missions with the trio, or with Lila, much to their annoyance.

Something I Noticed..

So from what we've seen, all the Sins have 3 forms, each in varying sizes.

Their Small and Medium forms are pretty much the same appearance wise, and seem like they're used for daily convenience. With their Small form being the size of an average demon. And their Medium form being about two or three times that.

Then they have their Large, or 'Full Demon' forms, in this state they tower over any other type of demon, along with parts of their body transforming. This seems like it's the one that actively used for battle as they unleash their full power.
