The winning honeybee is number 5! And yes… I’m in disguise… as a honeybee. There are those people in our office who say it looks just like me… if I were a honeybee. The only thing the bee would have to do is to drink five cups of coffee, run around the office, buzz ideas and cause something to explode. Thanks to everyone who participated in our honeybee contest. If you guessed the winning number (that would be #5), we’ll have an electronic gift certificate e-mailed to you later today. Most importantly, thanks to HelptheHoneyBees.com and Haagen-Dazs for raising awareness around this issue.

You might think that we’re just physical science people, but we do have a soft spot in our hearts for living things… especially honeybees. There’s a huge honeybee problem and Haagen-Dazs has done a great job with their HelptheHoneyBees.com website to help raise awareness around this issue. Some of the fine people who find employment at SteveSpanglerScience.com have gotten hooked on making their own honeybee using the Haagen-Dazs site.

So, we’ve created a little contest for our blog readers. Below you’ll find 16 people who work on the web team at SteveSpanglerScience.com… and I’m included in the mix. If you can correctly identify my number, you’ll win a $10 gift certificate from SteveSpanglerScience.com. Just post your comment below with your first name and real e-mail address (your e-mail will not be visible on the comment) and we’ll post the winning number on Friday morning (May 2, 2008). Hey, no cheating allowed - it’s for the honeybees. Oh, one more thing… since this is my contest, I’m allowed to be in disguise (very sneaky)! Go ahead… place your guess.
