IN A WORLD... where almost any human-to-animal procedure is possible, the halls of academia have seen great changes.

Our intrepid researcher above, Ms. Bee Bernaderet, is writing her doctoral thesis on cooperation among worker bees and how it can be applied to foster human worker solidarity.

Is this research being done in Berkeley, or Eugene, OR, or some other crazy left wing university town? NO! It's happening at BYU!
The Mormons were the only ones willing to fund this research, because of the traditional identification of their society with a beehive.

Ms. Bernaderet has, of course, lost her ability to speak, let alone type, so has been dictating her field notes using the "bee dance," which she mastered while minoring in entomology.

The first week or so, she was communicating insightful commentary, but after that, well, she was mostly saying things like, "good nectar three flights opposite sun!" or, "bring good pollen bread to queen!" "All praise to Great Mother Queen!"

Her colleagues weren't sure whether she had succumbed to the Hive Mind, or just that her fellow workers had become suspicious of her, and she was trying to blend in and throw them off the track.

Unfortunately, a week later, murder hornets decimated the whole hive and knocked the whole project into a cocked hat.

Oh well... maybe BYU can take another crack at Cold Fusion.
