Mr. Patrick, please note that scientific research of this nature, though perhaps easily mocked, is enormously beneficial. Advances in medicine, for example, often come about from intensive study of the animal and plant kingdoms. Bees, for their part, are vital to agriculture in its many forms. Please consider these facts before your next snarky comment. As an aside, there's nothing stopping you from obtaining a graduate degree in entomology and then living this supposedly cushy life on someone else's nickel!
