"Just one more hit, man! I just need one more hit of that delicious coke-honey!"

Bees on cocaine 'Behave like humans.'

Australian researchers found that bees which had been given a dose of cocaine threw themselves into unusually energetic dance routines, felt compelled to "talk" to their nest mates - and even went "cold turkey" when the drugs ran out.

God, how I love science.

I'll bet the bees who run out of coke offer blowjobs to the bees who have extra coke.
