    Well, after reading this thread I would just like to thank many of the contributors for making me astonished at how the minimal level of general knowledge that is required to get by as a contractor is constantly dropping.

    I suspect that if I were to suggest that some of you just take a little while out to actually watch some bees working, it may initially require a course in "bee identification".

    Common misconceptions.

    1) Bee society is flat layered. No, it is in fact pyrimidal, and behave more like an agressive sales unit, i.e. if you don't keep up targets you lose the office and the fancy car.

    2) In Bee society everyone gets a share. No, if you don't produce, comes a down turn, you're literally pushed out of the door. Ask any drone in Autumn...

    3) In Bee society everyone is a daughter of the queen. No, in the best performing hives the top foragers and scouts are generally recruited from other hives, and literally by word of mouth they recruit other good foragers and scouts.
    That is unbeeeelievable

        Interesting diatribe. Also sounds like another load of typical Threaded Bull(tm).

        Have you ever actually kept bees?

        You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

          That's a deeper insight than your usual one.

          Thanks Milan.
          I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                Well that's understandable.
