WHY is it so difficult to find the specific piece of information I need for this damb beefic?
It's a well-known fact that if you cut off a cockroach's head, it will live until it starves to death. Cockroaches are tough little buggers.
However...what happens to a bee if you whack its head off? How long does it live? Can it still fly, or sting?
I called a beekeeper. He didn't know, but suggested trying the library. I've looked through Google until I'm blue in the fingertips.
And I'm squeamish about catching a bee and cutting off its head to find out for myself. That just seems...I don't know. Unnecessarily cruel. To a bug.
Yeah.
And the damb story is stalled until I find out one way or the other. CRAP.
In other news, apparently the author I've beenstalking reviewing at FFN has taken the reviews to heart...in a way. She's fixed the script format, but now it's all one big block of text. The word "sinus" is gone, so yay for that.
It looks like she can be taught.

I would think if you cut off the head of a bee, it would die. I'm hoping you've found that piece of info by now.

Cockroaches are amazing. Poor things get such a bad rap, but there's over 3000 species in the world, and fewer than 10% of them are pest species. The rest of them live out their lives quietly in the woods or the desert or the swamp, and no one sees them. But the 10% give the other 90% a bad name. *cuddles the Hissing Cockroach, because they're just that cool*
