Have you seen those computer-generated models?

Well someone is taking it to the next step, but for a good cause.

A computer-generated insect “influencer" has been making a buzz on social media with an Instagram account that aims to help protect bees.


The social media presence named B was created by Fondation de France in June, and claims to be the “first bee influencer."

In the four months since the Instagram account was created, B has gained more than 137,000 followers.

Fondation de France said any money raised by B will be donated to the BEEFUND to help with conservation efforts to protect the species.

Thierry Gissinger, manager of environmental programs at Fondation de France, told PA:

"The Fondation de France, a leading philanthropy network in France, has been committed for 50 years to environmental and biodiversity issues, and decided to help B in the fight to save bees by becoming her sponsor."
“[B] shares her daily life as a bee and as an influencer on her Instagram account. She aims to become famous to generate visibility around the disappearance of her kind."

Fondation de France said B's Instagram is a long-term project, but sadly the group will not be creating any further animal-themed social media accounts.

Gissinger said:

“B is a long-term project that we are not planning to stop."
“The success is amazing and we really wanted B to become a worldwide well-known influencer to spread her message of bee protection all around the world."

And the bees certainly get up to all sorts of things.

Like, meeting other animals.

And, presenting projects to help the environment.

Even going to museums.

A little holiday spirit too.

'Tis the season!

Work it B!

Netflix and chill?

And of course, shopping!

With B's reusable tote.

But there are still so many more possibilities for the future.

So many places to go, so many things to see and bee.

Hopefully we step it up and actually help the bees.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
