A friend wants to do a critique on 'The Da Vinci Code," a current best
seller.
     In it the dialogue goes:
"Ever study the relationship between females and males in a honeybee
community?"

"Sure. The female bees always outnumber the male bees."

"Correct. And did you know that if you divide the number of female bees by
the number of male bees in any beehive in the world, you always get the same
number?"

"you do?"  "Yup. Phi" (DVC Page 94)

("Phi" is presented to be "The Golden Ratio" or the "Divine Mean" an
irrational number approximately equal to 1.618)
     Gentlemen, We cannot let this go unchallenged. The catch is, we need
quotable sources on the truth. Got Sources? Thanks.
