Ted,

Physics is supposed to give you a head-ache.  Otherwise, there would never
be any math majors <g>.

A scary thought.  Unless some of the alternates could be persuaded to come
over and help with our bees?

Would not any such experiment to measure the bees sensing quark particles
itself affect the outcome of the experiment itself.  Since the direct access
of bees to quantum world would vilate the "sacred principle in quantum
mechanics, that the process of measurement changes the very phenomenon that
you are measuring." (University of Rochester Alumni Newsletter, Spring '98)
