Twitter user JayBreezy_69 had people buzzing on the app over the weekend when he tweeted, "It's hard to believe some people because they. . . " with a photo of a lion's face photoshopped onto a bee's body. The ridiculous pun quickly began getting shared and soon opened an important debate โ is it hard to believe some people because they be lyin' or because they lyin, B?

Slang and vernacular aside, most commenters were blown away by the fact that either one works as a viable option to finish the sentence โ with one Twitter user even musing that "life is crazy." But we also need to talk about the logistics of this: if a lion's head is on a bee's body, it's a lion bee, right? If a lion had wings and a stinger, it would then be a bee lion. Here are the best, most mind-blown reactions to Bee Liongate.
@JayBreezy_69 [3] This is so clearly a lion bee and not a bee lion.

@JayBreezy_69 [14] But can't you imagine how terrifying a lion-bee would be? Like a full sized lion with a stinger?!
