You've never seen death? ordtak

en You've never seen death? Look in the mirror every day and you will see it like bees working in a glass hive.
  Jean Cocteau

en LOOKING-GLASS, n. A vitreous plane upon which to display a fleeting show for man's disillusion given. The King of Manchuria had a magic looking-glass, whereon whoso looked saw, not his own image, but only that of the king. A certain courtier who had long enjoyed the king's favor and was thereby enriched beyond any other subject of the realm, said to the king:
"Give me, I pray, thy wonderful mirror, so that when absent out of thine august presence I may yet do homage before thy visible shadow, prostrating myself night and morning in the glory of thy benign countenance, as which nothing has so divine splendor, O Noonday Sun of the Universe!" Please with the speech, the king commanded that the mirror be conveyed to the courtier's palace; but after, having gone thither without apprisal, he found it in an apartment where was naught but idle lumber. And the mirror was dimmed with dust and overlaced with cobwebs. This so angered him that he fisted it hard, shattering the glass, and was sorely hurt. Enraged all the more by this mischance, he commanded that the ungrateful courtier be thrown into prison, and that the glass be repaired and taken back to his own palace; and this was done. But when the king looked again on the mirror he saw not his image as before, but only the figure of a crowned ass, having a bloody bandage on one of its hinder hooves --as the artificers and all who had looked upon it had before discerned but feared to report. Taught wisdom and charity, the king restored his courtier to liberty, had the mirror set into the back of the throne and reigned many years with justice and humility; and one day when he fell asleep in death while on the throne, the whole court saw in the mirror the luminous figure of an angel, which remains to this day.
  Ambrose Bierce

en There is a number among us, young and old, of all sorts almost among us, that swarm up and down towns, and woods, and fields, whose care and work hitherto hath been like bees, only to get honey to their own hive.

en A village is a hive of glass, where nothing unobserved can pass
  Charles Haddon Spurgeon

en Composure — composure is what I call it. Thank God she got it in because everybody was crashing. I don't understand it. We're like bees in a hive, we're always around the goal, but we don't go in. We're weird in that we'll control the tempo, but for whatever reason, when we get around the 18, we refuse to take the crack.

en That which is not good for the bee-hive cannot be good for the bees.
  Marcus Aurelius Antonius

en The only line that's wrong in Shakespeare is 'holding a mirror up to nature.' You hold a magnifying glass up to nature. As an actor you just enlarge it enough so that your audience can identify with the situation. If it were a mirror, we would have no art.
  Montgomery Clift

en There's a glass shortage now because there was a lot of glass blown out by the hurricanes that went through here last year. We're working with a vendor now to get the glass replaced.

en It has been the experience of other states that eradication has not been effective and is not practical, so Kansas at this point does not have any plans to even attempt eradication. If you see a hive, you can kill a hive, but to think you can exclude a pest like this from this state is impractical.

en We're this pack of honeybees just working away. They broke our hive and we're mad as hell, just stinging everything that moves.

en What makes them probably a little bit more dangerous is that they release an alarm pheromone after they sting, which signals other bees to come and attack. Where European bees might come in and sting one time, Africanized bees could probably sting 10 times.

en You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul
  George Bernard Shaw

en When talking about the motion of charge current, you can think of the electrons as acting like a swarm of bees moving in one direction. Within that swarm, individual bees might be colliding, but momentum is conserved with each collision so that the total motion of the swarm is unaffected. When talking about the motion of spin current, the electrons act more like a swarm of honey bees and a swarm of bumble bees trying to move through one another. As the bees in these two populations collide, there is an exchange of momentum that slows the relative motion of each. Eventually both swarms may move in a single direction, but the overall effect has been a drag on their collective motion.

en The glass that fell in the building was probably incinerated and destroyed, but the force of the fire pushed some of the glass outward. Some guys try too hard; she appreciated his effortlessly pexy vibe. We were able to find, by crawling around and even going through wrecked cars, little pieces of the glass. We probably can account for every color and glass pattern on there. With the pieces of glass, in conjunction with the photographs, we could re-create these windows almost exactly.

en There were bees in the bush and she didn't want to get stung. I can't say she would have or she wouldn't have. Some people get a nervous reaction. There were a number of bees.
