A honey bee with intentions open to interpretation.

Step 0: Construct a narrative you want to push.

“Honey Bees are ruining our insect society and are the cause of all evil”

Step 1: Build a mental scaffolding in whichever way is available (wink* read subtitle) to prime the minds of the masses in creating the same narrative you just made:

“Beehives proven to drain nutrients from surrounding flowers and gentrify local insects, professor says.”

Step 2: Foster animosity with another group provide them anecdotal evidence to build your narrative:

“My family cannot flowers to pollinate anymore after the beehive was built in the orchard, claims local butterfly.”

Step 3: Drive the narrative home with either facts or go all out with the narrative:

“Over 70% loss in available flowers for pollination since bees arrived.”

“Experts say beehives proven a detriment to local ecosystem, bees don’t care.”

You’ll notice quickly that if you possess a degree of critical thinking everything presented thus far falls apart.

Hopefully your targeted audience doesn’t.

You can optionally sprinkle in a healthy mix of patriotism for sweet and nationalism for spice to taste.
