THE BEE CHALLENGE (are you MAN enough?)

[Varkarrus]

THE BEE CHALLENGE

ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO ACCEPT THIS CHALLENGE? THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION. NOBODY IS MAN ENOUGH TO EVEN ATTEMPT IT. YOU WILL LIKELY END UP DEAD.

THE RULES

AS SOON AS YOU ACCEPT YOU WILL BE TAKEN AWAY TO ENTER THE FOREST. THE FOREST WILL BE FULL OF BEES.

Fig 1. The enemy.

THERE WILL BE BEES EVERYWHERE.
THEY WILL BE AROUND YOU, NEAR YOU, ON TOP OF YOU.
THEY WILL STING YOU.

ONCE YOU ENTER IT WILL BE UP TO YOU TO FIND THE 3 STATIONS:
STATION A
STATION C
AND STATION D
(you don't want to find station BEE)

AT EACH STATION THERE WILL BE BEES. THAT IS A GIVEN. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO MENTION THAT.
HOWEVER, THERE WILL ALSO BE HONEY. 2 FULL LITRES OF IT.
YOU MUST EAT THE HONEY.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE WILL LIKELY BE BEES IN THE HONEY
AND IF THEY HAVEN'T DROWNED.

THEY.

WILL.

STING.

YOU.

ONCE YOU HAVE EATEN ALL OF THE HONEY, YOU MAY LEAVE. YOU WILL LIKELY SPEND SEVERAL DAYS IN THE WOODS FINDING THE STATIONS HOWEVER.
AS YOU LEAVE, YOU WILL BE GIVEN A BEELOG.
POST IT HERE. ANYTHING LESS THAN A B IS A FAIL

ALSO REMEMBER. IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 100 STINGS.
YOU WILL BE MARKED AS A CHEATER.

ALSO, THERE ARE 100 KILLER BEES IN THE WOODS. THIS IS TO MAKE YOU REMEMBER THAT THE NEXT STING MIGHT BE YOUR LAST.

IT IS NOT RECCOMMENDED YOU DO THIS CHALLENGE IF YOU ARE:

A) PREGNANT
B) ALLERGIC TO BEES
C) A PANSY
D) SANE

For future generations, here is the timeline. Thanks, Stij!

[BewareOfNerd]

Okay what the shit is this.

[basicParadox]

I..

I don't know. I'm terrified of bees and related stingy buzzy things though.

[Cucurbita]

Jesus christ how horrifying

[konec0]

wait why are there grades even
I'm pretty sure just completing this thing should warrant a pass

[Een]

i know it's none of my beesiness, and pardon my stinging tone, but i hive reason to beelieve this is a terrible idea!

[tynic]

so are you the guy who stole all the research bees from dundee the other day?

because I know a bunch of people who are so mad at you.

[Almost Human]

I'm disgusted at the insinuation that I am not man enough for something!
If a bee attempted to sting me, it would find itself unable to penetrate my awesome muscles. My testosterone would infect the bees and we would call a manly truce and sit around and not talk about our feelings and not cry.
Because we are MEN.
Bees.
HA!

[Varkarrus]

I HAVE BEEN STEALING BEES FOR YEARS NOW


IT APPEARS SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT WILLING TO DO THIS?
LET ME LIVEN IT UP.
IF YOU PASS, YOU WILL RECEIVE A LIFE-TIME SUPPLY OF HONEY.

NOT THAT YOU WILL EVER WANT TO EAT HONEY EVER AGAIN.

[Almost Human]

Some people are little girls.
I eat bees for breakfast.
Bring it.

(Although I am working at the moment so if this is something I have to be present for a continuous amount of time for, I wont be able to right this second)

[CaptainZaven]

I'm just a little black raaaaaaaaaain cloud....
Hovering over... ten thousand bees....
I'm just a little black raaaaaaaaaain cloud....
Pay no attention to meeeeeee.....

this challenge seems like quite the bother....

[waterbottles]

I want to do this Varkarrus. but you see I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to bees. I got stung by something last Summer and my entire left arm swelled up to unimaginable proportions.
It was all red, too.

So sadly, I must decline. I think after a couple stings, I'd die.
Or at least look like a giant pink marshmallow.

[Eunoshin]

Mmm.... bee-licious.

[Almost Human]

Are there enough Comic Nerds on here for me to make this reference?
Or this one?

[waterbottles]

Are there enough Comic Nerds on here for me to make this reference?
Or this one?

Speaking of, I wonder if beesmygod could survive this.
I bet she could.

[inexpediency]

[CaptainZaven]

[Cucurbita]

Marvel makes the weirdest things sometimes

Are there bumblebees involved? I was burned by a bumblebee as a child and my foot swelled so much I couldn't wear my shoe. I had to walk around with one shoe and one elephant foot.

Entry #1

Day 1 (Pre-entry)

They told me it might be a good idea to start a log of my journey now. Something about probably not being able to feel my fingers by the time I got out of there. I mean, it has to be a joke, but why not start this stupid journal now and get it over with. Once I’m rolling in a lifetime supply of honey I won’t have time for things like writing.

To bee (see the pun? Haha, that’s pretty ‘punny’ if I do say so myself) honest, this whole venture strikes me as a little silly. After all, it’s not like they’d actually let me get hurt or anything. There will probably bee (see, I did it again! So clever!) cameras hidden all over the place so if anything happens they can call the EMS. Heh, strike that—the bees have probably all been de-stingered. I bet there’s not really anything dangerous out there at all. They’ll expect me to act like I’m in grave peril, though, of course. I’ll make sure to wave and flail about convincingly as soon as I catch sight of those black and yellow sky kittens.

“Oh no!” I’ll cry, a hand placed dramatically to my forehead, “ What waspish inhabitants will sally forth to meet me at this station? I have no hope of outmaneuvering the aerial army arrayed before me to reach their golden prize!” I will saunter up to the honey container and triumphantly drink it all in one swig (they said there would be two ‘litres’ at each station. I’m not sure what a ‘litre’ is, but it can’t be that big. Probably like a cup or something. Regardless, I was the soda-chugging champion at all the local sports team support parties, so I can’t imagine it being that difficult), winking roguishly as I bat away the bees’ feeble advances. This competition is as good as won.

Also, as a bonus, here is a list of my supplied provisions and supplies:

-One (1) small backpack

-One (1) gallon of sealed spring water. ‘Bee Springs’ Brand, ha ha.

-One (1) medium sized metal pot

-Three (3) honey flavored granola bars

-One (1) full-sized grocery store savings card. For 'sting-removal', perhaps? As if I’d need it!

-One (1) pocket knife


And here I go! Wish me luck, everyone! I won’t need it, but it might add to the realism of this ‘life-threatening’ endeavor. Ta! XOXOXO

I'm not sure what's going on in this thread, but it is wonderful.

Hey Cucurbita. Check out this lighter!

[Cucurbita]

Oh god he's wearing shoes

I never noticed that before

I mean I guess I should be bothered by the sweater as well, but somehow those shoes just irk me

[Serena]

This is nothing. These bees aren't even on fire.

This'll be easy. How do I star-AAAAAAAAHHHTHEY'REEVERYWHERE

[Varkarrus]

CHALLENGERS APPROACHING

SO IT APPEARS WE HAVE 2 PEOPLE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO ATTEMPT THE BEE CHALLENGE.
BETS ON WHETHER OR NOT SHATTEREDOPINION SURVIVE ARE STILL OPEN

BETTING ODDS ON SURVIVAL FOR SERENA ARE UPPED TO 7:1

THESE ODDS ARE OPEN TO CHANGE ONCE SERENA UPDATES THEIR BEELOG

[Drillgorg]

But... killer bee stings aren't more toxic than normal bee stings, killer bees are just more aggressive. So unless there is a killer bee hive for you to stumble into, killer bees scattered throughout the forest aren't going to be much worse than normal bees.

[KittyMaster]

IT IS NOT RECCOMMENDED YOU DO THIS CHALLENGE IF YOU ARE:

D) SANE

Does partial sanity count? If so, then I can't do this challenge.

Also, I have never been stung by a bee in my life.
