Replace "drones" with "husband", and that will still bee accurate for most men after 10 years of marriage.
Exercise: calculate half-a-bee's dick in parsecs!

:-DD, +1 for this!. Back in the old neighborhood, an ass hair was a unit of measurement, as in, that freaking car missed me by an ass hair!

Hi,
There is a lot of 'evidence' in the electronics that a bee's dick was used as unit of measure.
Look at these early op-amps:
The pins where place on a 0.2" pitch. 0.2" is the Imperial Bee's Dick, often confused with the European Bee's dick which is a tad shorter at 5mm.
When the DIP packaged IC arrived, the pin pitch was chosen as 'half a bee's dick'
We now have SOIC (quarter dick spacing)
Regards,
