The number of neurons in the human brain (male and
female) is roughly 900 billion.

The number of neurons in the female worker bee
 is about 1 million.

The number of neurons in the male bee is 
more than 3 million.    

Possible ramifications:

-Women (bees) *ARE* better at multitasking.
-Male (humans) have not been provided with 
sufficient extra neurons to compensate for....
-Male (bees) have a lot more time and equipment
to contemplate their navels (or lack thereof).
