Hi tejek; Re your ability to believe the crap that the government tells you [about bees in this case, but the example readily expands to hundreds of other topics], here's what H. L. Mencken said about it: “The plain fact is that education is itself a form of propaganda - a deliberate scheme to outfit the pupil, not with the capacity to weigh ideas, but with a simple appetite for gulping ideas ready-made. The aim is to make 'good' citizens, which is to say, docile and uninquisitive citizens.” goodreads.com -- Carl P.S. Enjoy living in a society where most people believe what the authorities tell them. It worked out really well for the Nazis, at least for a few years there.
