Hi Jerry!


" Many of these effects are transitory; much like you or I getting a buzz or stumbling drunk on alcohol. Unless we over-dose, after the hang-over, we go about our business. "


Well, my answer to you is, that although bees do have an amazing number of neurons *for their size* we humans dwarf them in every respect, including numbers of neurons. So recovery from a "drunk" for a human is less significant than recovery for a "drunk" in a bee, because we can lose more of our neurons...and still function normally...than they can. That bee has a shorter, less productive life after a "drunk" than it would have had without the "drunk".


And your heros were right about not letting in misfits. But when there are a lot of misfits, the colony suffers....yes?


I will bring your hat to the WAS meeting.  But where is the schedule????


Christina
