From another Mugwump:

Re: Suicide bees; Yes, I have had many dive into the smoker,
either spout or open top. I just figured they were doing the
ultimate guard bee thing, Get a few really angry bees, open the
top, puff to flame up, and go on minus a few obnoxius buzz-heads
(or tails, as the case may be.) Hive rage? Never thought about
writing a dissertation on it.

Re: Wiggle-waggle; Pure joy? Do they hum "Achy Breaky Heart? Line
dancing, break dancing? Angels of Agriculture, and don't have a
pin to dance on?

As jim observed,
5) Elves?

6) Witchcraft?

7) US Attorney General John Ashcroft?

Whatever - dance they do. I've seen that. So tell me, does it
matter one pollen grain whether they sniff or dance as to how I
site or manage my bees? I've never been good at dancing, and my
sniffer is not the best, but I try to place them near things that
provide pollen and honey. And they 'preciate it!
