The 'Fuck Bees' meme is a subversion of the popular 'Save the Bees' environmental movement, characterized by a blunt and often irrational hostility toward the winged insects. Originating in the mid-2010s across platforms like Tumblr and Reddit, the meme typically features aggressive text overlaid on images of bees or people reacting to them. It gained popularity for its shock value and relatability to anyone who has ever been stung or annoyed by a swarm during a picnic. While bees are vital to the ecosystem, this meme serves as a humorous outlet for personal vendettas against the pollinators, often used to signal a state of being overwhelmed or choosing a chaotic, contrarian stance for comedic effect.
