The suggestion that bees were not pulling their weight met with skepticism from British beekeepers.Glyn Davies,the President of the British Beekeepers Association,said that bees were not lazy but efficient,“At any particular stage in its energy by doing nothing.Each bee has a unit of life energy and the faster it works,the faster it dies.They are being very wise and perhaps humans should try to follow their example instead of running about like headless chickens.”
The idea of the busy bee is several thousand years old.One current author who has nothing but admiration for the bee is Paul Theroux,the novelist and part-time beekeeper.“I have never seen a bee sleeping.My bees never stop working,”he said.Mr.
Theroux added that Prof.Menzel’s research could have been affected by his national origins.“Perhaps in comparison to the German rate of work,the bee does look lazy,”he said.
Few people think that the busy bee idea will go away,despite the efforts of Prof.Menzel.It seems absurd to apply the word“lazy”to a colony of creatures capable of producing something so extraordinary as honeycomb.The truth is that bees give us an inferiority complex that is not entirely unjustified.In fact,the worship of bees seems to be undergoing a renaissance.IBM recently ran a series of ads drawing on the“waggle dance”of bees,telling businessmen to“make your business waggle.”

The Solo Trek had a 120 horsepower engine with twin fans. Only one person flies. As you fly above the roofs, you lean a little forward. You can see everything under you. You are flying like Superman.
Michael Moshier looked at the jet belt and the rocket belt that was developed 20, 30 years ago. Nothing ever came from them. People still can't fly.
Inventors have tried to make it easy for people to fly. Paul Moiler has been working on his flying car for 30 years. He now says it is ready for tests. It would take off and land vertically, go 600 miles an hour, and deliver 20 miles to the gallon. A computer would do the actual flying. He says it could be sold next year for about a million dollars.
NASA is working with Moshier to help develop his flying machine. The first users are likely to be military.
It's been 50-years since Robert Fulton invented his airphibian, a flying car. It flew, and is now in the Smithsonian Museum.
