is there any official explanation for why they're called Babylon Bee? the symbolism is rather questionable, although it could be worse, at least they don't call themselves Babylon Fly. I bet they're just fans of honey or something
Seth Dillon (CEO of Babylon Bee) actually mentioned it in one of his interviews. Don’t remember with whom exactly - maybe Ben Shapiro?
I can’t quote him word-for-word, but as I recall, he sees the present corrupt state of the world as “Babylon”, and he’s the “bee” making something sweet (and funny) out of it. “Out of the lion, something sweet”. In short, he’s aware of the symbolism.
well at least they're not playing dumb then. too often I hear artists come up with something disturbingly symbolic, but when asked about the meaning, they respond with something along the lines of "idk, I'm so roandom, lol".
the Samson story is in fact the source of bee symbolism, and it all evolved from there, making it into coins, regalia, coats of arms and even the the title of a satirical online publication. make what you will of it, let's say it's just a piece of trivia, but if it's something up your alley, you can look up masonic beehive

Finally, I can close the book on this mystery. Thank you fren.

Ah yes, concern trolling about our sources of satire from a handshake
Womp womp.
Gosh, that's 3 painfully obvious NPC handshakes in <24 hours. The useful idiots are persistent.
