bees do what?

our latest unit has been on waves and their properties. i was giving a lecture on the behavior of waves (reflection, refraction, diffraction and the like) and was half-way through a sentence on how the angle of incidence in reflection is equal to the angle of reflection when all of a sudden mr. kennedy blurts out "DO BEES LAY EGGS?" hmm... interesting question. "CUS I MEAN.. DO BABY BEES COME OUT, OR ARE THEY EGGS?" it was kind of like the thought came into his head and very quickly that thought traveled to his lips and became sound waves that made it to my little ear drums. i asked him if his question had anything to do with what we were talking about, he said no.. and then i told him no, i don't think bees lay eggs. i think larvae is somehow involved. and back to the angle of reflection.
