Strictly Bees Wax

I thought this song (Mallory Graham's 'Queen Bee') was so mysterious until I caught Streisand singing it in A Star is Born. But you just don’t hear sustained socket zzzzzaps like that any more, not even in a bug-sizzling halogen lantern on Lil Kim’s back porch. Pink cover, a horny bug beat, female empowerment, a jazz-dance instructor based in a North Carolina furniture mecca—this has it all. The folks down at Hellstrom R&D must’ve been bumping this when they Co2’d those honey bees and brought in some nut to design invisible harnesses made from black widow web strands.The drones woke up to new threads and a microfan coo. Their business end caught the breeze, booty sensorsthought “Airho!” andthey started flying. So director Walon Green could catch their buzz flap in slow motion. Go see for yourself: rent/bid on The Hellstrom Chronicle.
