Apparently A Part Of The Reason Why Farmed Bees Stay In The Beehives That Humans Build For Them Is Because

Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.

You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?

So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?

So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?

A commission for @gluethegrue !!

They asked for a comic w/ All Might and Present Mic discussing their crush preferences and judging each other.

They also asked that All Might imagine Aizawa’s horrible Cheshire Cat grin when hearing his name, but…. he smiles like that a lot….. so I drew him smiling… a lot… ENJOY!!!
