A quote mis-attributed to Einstein "If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination ... no more men" - appears in The Irish Beekeeper, v.19-20, 1965-66, p74, citing Abeilles et Fleurs (Bees and Flowers, the house magazine of Union Nationale de l'Apiculture Française) for June 1965, also used in a beekeepers' protest in 1994 in Europe; suggesting invention and attribution to Einstein for political reasons. In reality Einstein did mention bees ..but is another way...he said "Science is never finished because the human mind only uses a small portion of its capacity, and man's exploration of his world is also limited. If we look at this tree outside whose roots search beneath the pavement for water, or a flower which sends its sweet smell to the pollinating bees, or even our own selves and the inner forces that drive us to act, we can see that we all dance to a mysterious tune, and the piper who plays this melody from an inscrutable distance—whatever name we give him—Creative Force, or God—escapes all book knowledge."A. Einstein quoted in William Hermanns, Einstein and the Poet: In Search of the Cosmic Man (1983). He also wrote "It is evident, therefore, that the dependence of the individual upon society is a fact of nature which cannot be abolished—just as in the case of ants and bees. However, while the whole life process of ants and bees is fixed down to the smallest detail by rigid, hereditary instincts, the social pattern and interrelationships of human beings are very variable and susceptible to change." in his essay "Why Socialism" in the 'Monthly Review' (May 1949).
