I’m incredibly Pleased and Proud to announce that my Editor is Exceedingly Pleased with me ever since yesterday’s Issue of the Bee Times Gazette Journal Record…and Online News came out yesterday. He says not only is his Circulation up, but there have been a lot more copies of our (I say “our” beecause I had a lot to do with this whole thing) Publication sold.

I just got back from visiting with him in his Office, where he told me that he is Exceedingly Pleased with my Job Performance, that he’s also Extremely Happy and Relieved that he isn’t the one who Her Insufferable Majesty, Queen Darla, has Informed has to Show Up at her Royal Chamber no later than 4:00 p.m. this Afternoon. Or Else.

“That’s you she wants to See, Bee,” he told me. “After what you wrote in yesterday’s Issue - which sold more copies than we’ve sold in a very long time but which apparently has made the Queen Highly Displeased with the Bee who Wrote the Feature Story - I’m glad it’s not me that has to show up by 4:00 this Afternoon. Or Else.”

“What do you think she wants to See me about?” I asked. “Do you think she wants to tell me how much she enjoyed the Article we Published, and extend her Deepest Appreciation for all the Investigative work that exposed her Clandestine Programme of Systematic Bee Deportations?”

“I’m guessing not,” my Editor said. “I’m guessing that she wants some Answers about who your Sources are and where you’re getting your Information from, and from the sound of it, she doesn’t seem to bee as Pleased as we are about what you managed to Uncover, for some Reason.”

“Well, of course how can I say ‘NO’ to Her Insufferable Royal Highness, the Queen? I can’t. So right after I grab a Quick Lunch and go to the Bathroom, I’ll bee heading over to her Royal Chamber. I’m completely confident that after she hears all about how we managed to Expose her Activities, she’ll want to Reward me with a Beelitzer Prize. And I’ll bee sure to mention that if it weren’t for you, I would never have been able to have my Investigative Work published. It’s only Fair that you also get the Credit you so Richly Deserve.”

My Editor just kind of looked at me, told me to Leave him Out Of It, and to get the hell out of his Office. So I did that.

So now, I’m about ready to visit the Queen. I’ll bee sure to let everybody know all about how Pleased she is with me, just as soon as I get back. So I’m gonna go do that.
