With tounge planted firmly in cheek, Joe Traynor sent his letter to the
Editor in response to the many letters in the journals, and here, regarding
a honey bee language. Several years ago we published a story on a race of
honey bees that constructed beeswax diving helmets so they could go under
water and collect the pollen and nectar from underwater plants. That was
published in our April issue (think about it). Joe's, though not in April
was in the same vein... Please smile and disregard the story... If you
don't, I guess, the joke's on Joe and me.
