And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Never heard of this. Most bees would rather sting me.
I've heard of bullshit, but never beeshit-
ReplyDeleteMy dad kept bees. Very interesting hobby with some very interesting dynamics in the hive.
ReplyDeleteWorkers are female. The males are "made" when a queen needs to be fertilized. Then they are killed.
There are sentries at the hive who basically have a suicide mission. If they refuse, they are killed.
At night the bees align themselves to cause better circulation of air through the hive at night. Flapping their wings all night long.
I keep bees, and they are fascinating. And sometimes, ornery. Never heard this folk tale before though.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of this being done upon the passing of a British regent.
