Had to look up that definition. Why is this in safety? Perhaps because it is safe now that you squashed it?

Don't see safety communicated here.

The image just isn't sharp and I fail to see how fear of bees conveys "safety"

Lighting isn't the best, as the bulk of the insect is much too dark. The texture in the background is very distraction. Perhaps if you tweaked the exposure a little (or the brightness and contrast if you're not shooting in RAW) to lose the background and bring out some of the detail s lost in the shadows. Focus is also a little off. Good effort though.

Maybe if there was a bit more light on the bee it would have been easier to get a sharp focus. I don't think that I can accept the idea that safety is a dead bee. The creatures are threatened with a devastating bug, and the possibility of a world without them is too grim to contemplate. Sorry to preach environmentalism to you.
