Dear bee friends,
I am glad that there has been many a chuckle on our fun, with the "Bees
as Weapons" tale. Unfortunately this was not always true for those who
speak English as a second language.
I apologize, if the language difference meant that some did not recognize
it as a joke. I know a joke, which is a play on words, is extremely hard to
translate. Please write, if you have further questions.
We have a time-honored tradition of telling elaborate stories to lead up
to a punch-line, at which point the audience realizes it has been fooled, and
enjoys the prank. I hope it is not offensive to those of you who learned
English later in life.
The quote is a misquote of the Biblical one, "Many are called but few are
chosen."
