I think I didn't ask my question clearly enough, so let me expose the
depths of my ignorance. ;-)
If I squeeze some dead bees and get "loads of brown liquid bee poop",
Is that a *good* thing because it means they were successfully
holding it in so they don't have dysentry, or it is a *bad* thing
because the poop being held in their bodies is supposed to be more
solid, and if it's liquid it means they do have dysentry?
I suppose I should make myself dissect a few dead bees this summer
and get more familiar with the normal state!
