What is known
Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a phone screenshot of a post captioned "Some folk been photo shopping their cats' faces on to bees and I hope you get a blessing from it." Four macro photographs of bumblebees follow, each with a cat's face edited onto the head: a black cat peering over fuzzy leaves, a black-faced bee perched on a fingertip, a grey cat-bee in flight, and a scowling long-haired orange cat on a bee's body. The edits' makers are unknown. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
