"It mustn't be thought that I'm jealous,
there are things a cow shouldn't say,
but those Land-Army tarts
who handle our parts,
still get it the old-fashioned way!"

Reaching into my grab-bag memory of useless knowledge: the tubing used to inseminate bees is one of the smallest made by man, the hole is barely visible to the human eye, and then only when the tube is cut at an angle.
Sum total of my information on that subject, as I was only reading about it in, I think, The Guinness Book, technology section.

Rapaire, don't worry about bees, some WOMEN get inpregnated by useless drones. It's Natures way of continuing the species.

We have Varroa Mite in NZ too. Caused distress to many honey producers last year.
