- Life Imitates Art Imitating Life: A few months ago, I pointed you to the wholesome TikTok beekeeper @TexasBeeWorks. But she’s now embroiled in a beekeeper battle with @lahoneybeerescue who calls her Texas nemesis foul, fake and dangerous. This would be just another creator vs. creator smackdown, except the whole thing was foreshadowed by 60-year old comic strip “Mark Trail”. Since March a “Bikbok” battle between Mark and viral video influencers Professor Bee Sharp, Killer Bee, Cricket Bro and eco-rapper Reptiliannaire has been playing out in newspapers everywhere. OK, maybe this is a coincidence. Or maybe there’s a sinister plot going on. I’m not sure – but it’s just too weird to ignore.
