Where have all the bees gone?

To feast from our rhododendron, of course. I can confidently put everyones' minds at ease when I say the bees are vacationing to "foreign lands" away from that stuffy old box, away from that bossy queen, and away from getting hosed with smoke everytime a two-legged creature garbed in white pries the roof off thier house. The drones are streching their wings, as it were, and venturing to territories new and different. So, to all the passionate bee-keepers, listeners of NPR, and readers of such newspapers as the New York Times, etc. Fear not! Your drones are safe and tickled pink to land a find like our gi-normous rhododendron.
