A carved stone in the form of a wicker bee-skep. 330 BCE, literally meaning ‘navel’, it is the renowned Oracle as the center of the earth. Certain esoteric orders teach that the honey bee, among other things, was originally brought to this world from the planet Venus. It is the only insect that communicates through dance and it would take twenty-six humans to do the job of just one of them in the circle of life. The bee truly is one of nature’s marvels. So stand back cuz the queen bee’s about to sting.” The symbolism of the bee put on Beyoncé cannot be underestimated. She starts the song with a monologue, “One who is too curious in observing the labor of bees will often be stung for his curiosity. When Beyoncé performed “Get Me Bodied” on her tour, The Beyoncé Experience, she kept the Metropolis robot theme at the beginning, except this time it was a robotic bee. They fall under the spell of the vamp and she incites them to riot, convincing them to destroy the machines. She causes the workers to lose faith as she convinces them there is no hope and they must take action.
He also sends her to infiltrate and corrupt the workers to revolt so that he can claim the right to use force against them. Death descends upon the city but she still performs night after night.
Her erotic dancing sends the men into a lustful frenzy causing them to openly brawl and commit suicide. She rises from the stage on the Beast of Revelations as The Whore of Babylon. She is sent to perform for the upper class men at a decadent nightclub of the Metropolis.
BEYONCE QUEEN BEE MOVIE
The robot in the movie is a devilish and sexually aggressive version of Maria. Throughout 2007 and after, Beyoncé was photographed on many occasions with a robot hand as part of her costume in honor of Rotwang, the sorcerer from the movie. The evil scientist himself is part machine since he had to sacrifice his own hand in order to animate the robot. Maria, a young female worker who has some influence among her exploited colleagues, is kidnapped and taken to the laboratory of a mad scientist who has created a “Machine-Man”, a hermaphroditic robot born through a mixture of science and black magic who could take Maria’s physical likeness. The privileged ones live on the surface in Utopia, which is powered by the workers who must remain underground. The movie depicts a world divided between two rigid classes, the “thinkers” and the “workers”, who can’t communicate with each other. This performance is more esoterically inspired by a scene from the 1927 movie, Metropolis, which is used as a blueprint of society for the elite. and Scarlet Woman symbolism that we have already shown surrounding Beyoncé, could there possibly be any more? You know there is. Everything about this is classic MK/Ultra/Monarch programming symbolism and it is my intuition that the command “get me bodied” comes from a demonic entity put in to her through ritual.but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The robot shell is stripped away to reveal the sexy costume underneath while her back up dancers are locked inside cages. She rises from the matrix dressed in a robot suit, and wakes up after being surged with electricity. And sorry, Beyonce, as much as I adore ya, I don’t think you’re ready for this royal jelly.Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5īeyoncé’s performance of the song, “Get Me Bodied”, at the 2007 BET Awards was charged with heavy symbolism.
There are lots of initiatives that are trying to combat CCD on a local to a national scale, but we’re glad that young people like Austin and Hoffman are out there fighting for the bees. They travel to state fairs, schools, city governments, and other regional events to give talks and demonstrations promoting beekeeping.īack in the ’50s and ’60s, the queen and princess spoke primarily about promoting honey production - but as bee numbers have been steadily dropping in past decades, the women focus their speaking on the issue of colony collapse disorder (CCD). Their tasks are similar to most agriculture pageant queens, such as the highly coveted title of Tulip Queen in my hometown of Pella, Iowa (PUT THOSE PETALS TO THE METAL, GIRLS!). The first American Honey Bee Queen, Kay Seidelman, was crowned in ’59. And to convince audiences of the docile nature of honeybees, they’ll sometimes demonstrate a bee beard: allowing thousands of the insects to crawl on their neck and face while they discuss the hive.īee royalty like Austin and Hoffman have been parading around the U.S. since the late 1950s. During visits to FFA groups and classrooms, the queens often bring a demonstration hive borrowed from a local beekeeper. People think of two things when it comes to bees, she says.
