Wow!  What a great report.  I surely didn't know a thing about these
wondrous bees.  Thank you very much, although I believe it is
above and beyond the call of duty to find out when and how often
they sting.  
     I think we need some bumper stickers such as:
"BEE gentle"      or     "BEE nice"  or something like that.

To BEE or not to BEE, that is the question.
To BE, we must BEE, for if we don't BEE, we will cease to BE.
