did not know that bit of technical bee data; i will amend the line referring to drones' labor.
the line about the truck loaded with nectar ("nect'r" to rhyme a little better with "wreck"), well technically nectar is used to make honey, so you are correct on that count. however, nectar is any delicious drink and also the mythological life-giving drink of the gods. i have partaken of honey as a drink (straight outta the jar, mmmm). also, i believe that honey has some amazingly wonderful health-related properties (ok not "life-giving"); i swear by lemon tea with copious amounts of honey whenever i get a nasty winter cold.

so in that light, i would say that "nect'r" is appropriate use in that line, if none else by poetic license.
thanks for the feedback; let me know what you think of the rewrite when it happens...
