The Supersonic Bee ~ The Swarm of "killer bees" at the Back 40 yesterday would have warmed the heart of the founder of The Neat Little Bookshop, Herb Martindale. In his book, The Caledonia Eye Opener, Herb writes about the supersonic bee. "If we can develop bees which fly faster, a squadron or two should be able to gather as much honey as a whole swarm of the old bees," reasoned Professor Ayphid. The day came when the flight of Professor Ayphid's bees broke the sound barrier and the tiny sonic booms had hardly stopped reverberating, when the college president, rushed over to convey his congratulations. But actually, things were not going quite as well as you might have thought. While a supersonic bee was an avid collector of honey, and could gather up a load of it in no time, it didn't have the faintest idea which way to fly with it in order to get home . It became a common sight around Clanbrassil to see an exhausted bee, dripping with honey, leaning against a veranda post or a barn door, confused and disoriented." ~ Herb Martindale, The Caledonia Eye Opener, wit, satire & parody in verse & prose...Alive Press Limited, Guelph, ON, ISBN 0 919568 16 5, Year unstated.
