Not unless they were lesbians.  Neither were drones.

Ja, read on:

The most plausible answer would have to be that the bees were directed to
the flowers, ate some bad shit, and got a case of the no-fly-ies.

 

The bees are going nuts, because everything is in bloom.  The pollen was so
high I could scarcely talk Monday.  One of my son's classmates passed out
from what we think was an allergic reaction.

 

>.HOWEVER.  We also have to ask how those bees knew how to get to the
flowers in the first place.

 

Eeeverything is in bloom, no waggle dancing required.  It is a very bee-ey
month.  Or is it beey?  I perhaps could adverb it and say it is being beely
pollinated outdoors today, a beeish yard I have, the beeity is high indeed.

 

I got a great additional clue today, which I will reveal when I get home.
