Why it might work

  • A shared threadSweet runs through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put L’Abeille de in spring and summer and Aedes de Venustas in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L’Abeille de is very weak and enormous, Aedes de Venustas moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
