Dearest Bee Friend,

My auntie is Queen of Nigerian Hive of Africanized Honey Bees, and she has 20,000 liters of honey that Nigerian Bank refuse to accept. Will you help my poor, poor auntie convert honey to USA? In return you keep half of the honey.

If you interested, waggle clockwise twice, 3 jiggles, 1 clockwise, 1 jiggle.

Your friend,
Prince Rupert, Africanized Honey Bee Drone
