German digital artist Till Nowak (featured previously on Neatorama) created this funny image of a newly-shaven bumblebee and his friends.
This image is telling about the bumblebee Bernard who wanted to impress his friends with an experiment. It was one of these boring days and they were as usual looking for some nonsense to get involved in and succeeded in switching on an electric shaver. And Bernard, for the first time in his life, completely freed himself from his beautiful yellow and black fur. But then, under the shouting and cheering of his mischievous friends, he watched in the mirror and had to recognize that the result didn`t please him as much as he expected. But hey, it will grow again....
There's also an article (in pdf format) about how the image was made. Link -via Dump Trumpet
I didn't know elephant bees had butts. Ha ha! That artist is crazy talented!
