In humans the male is dragged out but then forced to pay alimony and child support....... War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

Please refer to the recent film, "Kingsman: The Secret Service" for an action flick take on this concept. An obligatory "WARNING: This film contains Samuel L. Jackson rantings" is required every time this film is mentioned. |

Sometimes maybe, but in the USA family law is biased much in favor of females. Enough of this sidetrack and back to the bees, please. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

| Ayecarumba Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 89 Posts: 1744 | I saw a news story about a young girl who, after getting stung by a bee, studied up on them and opened a lemonade stand with honey as the sweetener. Long story short, she is now a very successful entrepreneur. The thing that caught my attention about the story, was that they were describing the decline in the bee population over footage of what appeared to be a large hornet walking amongst the flowers. Is this technically correct? Is "Honey Bee" a species, or are there other species of bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, etc. that produce honey? |

"Honey Bee" is not a species. There are multiple kinds of honey bees including Russians, Italians, and the African "killer bees." AFIK the other stinging insects do not produce honey. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

Here is a link to the video of the story. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/beesweet-lemonade-founder-mikaila-ulmer-raises-awareness-honeybee-decline/ I'm pretty sure the image at :35 is a hornet, and a pretty big one at that. |
