Scientists have debunked this myth, though, explaining that the Coriolis effect controls the direction of water flow only in much larger bodies of water, hundreds of miles in diameter.

Humans have been interested in honeybees for thousands of years, perhaps because of the honey that the bees produce. But despite their interest, ancient people failed to understand the bee's life cycle. In fact, ancient Egyptians thought that honeybees were spontaneously generated, arising not from eggs but from the carcass of an ox. This erroneous notion was perpetuated by the presence of drone flies, which resembled honeybees, around the dead bodies of oxen. Once they had microscopes and other modern tools, scientists began to observe bee colonies closely. They now understand more about the interrelationships of the members of the hives, including the queen and drones, and their complex communication systems.
