    Well that is actually a reasonable solution.........
    The death of a single Worker Bee has (statisitically) no impact on the survival of the Hive or indeed the Bee Population.
    Generally speaking she is infertile.
    Her individual foraging is negligible.
    Unless she is a he (Drone) in which case:
    He doesn't do any foraging
    (Statistically) the loss of his genes is irrelevant

    "All" Bees basically die because they "can't get home" ie Foraging Workers don't make it back.......
    Drones, Queens and Guards (pre-Foraging Workers who defend the Hive (and as you know die if they sting stuff) are numerically only a tiny number......

              As I said earlier in the thread - lets train wasps to do it and lets see bee keepers pinching their honey! As they are new to the job we could call them newbees

              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                Just think of the jobs that we can create as human pollinators.

                    The term is 'gigolo' and I'm not sure how much money you'll make.
