Alot of professional beekeepers wear casual clothes with maybe just the veil. If you got a good relationship with your bees, then you're comfortable being near them without any equipment.

But the guy without the kit clearly isn't the professional in this cartoon

I mean... I get what they’re trying to say, and it’s both humorous in that light and something I can support... but this cartoon is a mess. We can say the guy is dumb- but is his business if he gets stung by bees- that’s the sort of thing that made the guys from Jack Ass rich and famous. Johnny Knoxville has had a profitable film career in high profile movies like MIB and Dukes of Hazzard among many other films. Before he decided to do stupid things for money- he was a struggling actor in commercials who was 29 and likely to have missed the boat on the “immature comedy” breakthrough that most guys in the genre hit when they are closer to the same age as the primary fans of their material.

So... we can argue about wether you’re a moron to get stung by bees- especially in cases where you can potentially become a multimillionaire for it- but when it comes to covid... bee stings aren’t contagious. If you get stung the bee isn’t going to stealthily cling to you and then start stinging people at the grocery store and then laying hidden eggs to go do that some more. So I mean... kinda funny comic, but sort of an example of how metaphor is often not a good tool for debate or counter, since they can be imprecise and vague.

Ya... this cartoon isn't really about bees and beekeeping, is it? I'm all in favour of obligatory wearing a nose&mouth mask but that cartoon is missing the point by far. You're not supposed to wear one to protect yourself, but to protect others. I must say, given my age, I kind of wonder how it's still surprising to me how many people really don't see the point in protecting others and - by that! - themselves in common solidarity.
