What more do our bees have to take from these out of control scientists?
First they mainline them on cocaine and now get them plastered them with
ethanol.

They dance a lot on cocaine and end up on their back, drunk, with alcohol.
They did not need bees to see that, just use beekeepers.

Researchers gave honey bees various levels of ethanol, the intoxicating
> agent in liquor, and monitored the ensuing behavioral effects of the drink –
> specifically how much time the bees spent flying, walking, standing still,
> grooming and flat on their backs, so drunk they couldn't stand up.
