Wandavision Beekeeper - Warning Spoilers

"FOR THE BEES"  Wandavision and the Role of the beekeeper

Our family has been watching Disney's WandaVision show the past few weeks and episode 2 ends with a beekeeper emerging from a manhole cover with a few bees flying around his head.   The show is definitely a departure from most Marvel products but it has pulled us in nevertheless.   The beekeeper emerging from a manhole brought questions from the kids about bees and what the heck was going on.   Well this beekeeper was a collector of Marvel comics as a kid so I needed to give it a go.

First of all the beekeeper had no relevant theme in the Marvel universe that I knew of.  I did notice that the suit was brand new and there were too many bees around the beekeeper. Our beekeeping gear is old and worn. It looks new on the first day and then it becomes "not new" in a matter of hive visits.  So the clean bee suit seems to be odd as does the number of bees flying around the keeper.  Spoiler Alert:  The recent episode has shown that the beekeeper is actually an agent that has made it into the WandaVision pocket universe.  His hazmat suit changes once he crosses into the WandaVision world.  The Vision and Scarlet Witch see him at the end of the episode, Wanda says "No" and time reverses back to earlier in the episode.  What happened to the agent?

We noticed a lot of other spoilers and it seems that this pocket universe is part of the act of someone or something that is controlling Wanda. Our guess is that it is one of the supernatural beings found in the Marvel universe such as  Nightmare, Mesphisto (the Devil) or one of their underlings like the Grim Reaper or Agatha Harkness (Agnes).  The Grim Reaper was a bad guy in the comics that wanted to kill the Vision because he was programmed with the brain waves of his brother.   This scenario is much too complex and convoluted for a show like WandaVision.

While it will be tough to introduce the Grim Reaper in this story arc, his helmet does show up in an easter egg at the start of episode #2.  Using a Bewitched type intro, the animation shows the Vision phasing through the floor boards of their house and between the floors is the Grim Reaper's helmet and some bones (yikes).  This is likely a dead end but in the Marvel universe they usually like to start with a lower level bad guy who is under the direction of a more ominous and powerful character.

Some other interesting points we have noted:

Agnes the Neighbor
Agnes has appeared in every episode and is likely the character Agatha Harkness a somewhat benevolent witch that has a history with the Fantastic Four and Scarlet Witch in the comics.  Agatha's brooch is something that is displayed in both the comics and the series.  It could be that Agnes is the villain of the series but she may be lackey under the direction of a more major player such as Nightmare or Mephisto.  

Hexagon Theme
The hexagon is prominently displayed throughout the episodes to date.   The hexagon is a common shape in nature and of course honey comb is hexagon in shape. The town gazebo, the shape of the pocket universe, and the clock in Wanda's home are all hexagons.  The hexagon itself is not an occult symbol but it is the intersection of a hexagram which is the a symbol of the occult.  It could be that the full hexagram will come into display in later episodes. 
Another theory is that the hexagon shape is where the two universes connect.  When bubbles abut each other they form a hexagon on the connecting planes.    

Mr. Scratchy
The rabbit that Agnes gives to Wanda is called Senor Scratchy.  Old Scratch is another name for the devil and it could be another clue that Mephisto is the bad guy behind this all.  

Neighborhood Watch
In episode 2, Vision crashes the neighborhood watch that doesn't seem to want to include him in the meeting.  Could the 6 represent the Fear Lords of the Marvel Universe?   Dr. Strange has battled this group in the past.  It is made up of the following villains:  Dweller In Darkness, Nightmare, D'Spayr, Lurking Unknown, Nox, and Kkallakku.   They originally included the Straw Man who would not turn against the earth and mankind.  This is a stretch but it is likely that Nightmare is behind the pocket universe.

For the Children
WandaVision is devoid of any children other than Wanda and Visions twins.  The people of the town seem to chant "for the children"  on queue whenever it is said.  It is likely the entity behind the pocket universe has taken the children of the citizens hostage to make them play along with the charade of Westview.  This is just a guess but it will be interesting to see if we see any kids other than Wanda and Visions children for the remaining episodes.  

In any case, the show has been a lot of fun for us to watch we just hope that the beekeeper and bees didn't meet an untimely demise at the hands of the Scarlet Witch.  "For the Bees"
