#6 My first thought was to check the byline for an April 1st posting date. Second thought, given that this is from al-Beeb, was to wonder why they didn't compare and contrast with the behavior of Islamic bees.

#7 The team found the bees which had consumed the higher concentrations of ethanol spent the least time flying or grooming and spent more time on their backs.

Dr Mustard said: "These bees had lost postural control. They couldn't coordinate their legs well enough to flip themselves back over again."

Loss of "postural control" would seem to explain a lot regarding typical sorority girl complaints the following morning.

Just another BGO (Blinding Glimpse of the Obvious). Who are these overpaid science geeks and how can we strangle them in the cradle to prevent any further abuse of public funding?

#9 The bees were secured to a small harness made from a piece of drinking straw and fed solutions of sucrose and ethanol. The ethanol concentration ranged from zero to 100.
I don't think it's the bees that have a problem.

#12 talk about over inflating your claims to get grant money! Bees "hold key to alcohol abuse" *scoff!* a more appropriate title would be "taxpayers fork out big bucks for lame experiment that shows bees get drunk when given alchohol".
