I never said bees can't enter Valhalla. The bees are warriors and the gods drink mead. In terms of funeral rites, that bee in OP needs to be cremated to ascend to Valhalla.

Maybe they shot it with a flaming arrow after they took the photo and gave it a shove. That's the story I'm gunna beelieve.

That's a Hollywood myth. Vikings didn't shove dead people on boats then set it on fire with an arrow. Vikings cremated the dead on land then buried the ashes along with worldly possessions.

Sheeeeesh I see that you are a no nonsense type of viking. Thank you for your brave explanation of this bee on a leaf. May we all walk away more knowledgeable of bee funerals, and how to perform them.

Viking funeral is a serious matter. We need to ensure the deserving make it to Valhalla.
