Haha. Ya, funny joke. But my real regret was that neither I nor the foreman took any action to mark the hives and refer to a university study group to collect any samples. I've only seen the two hives in that location. I've never seen such a mutation before or since in the thousands of hives I've looked in. 

I have seen gnats with fluorescent eyes in a genetic experiment I was in charge of in high school science class. I think I was running about four different genetic mutations in that experiment so apparently it's not an unknown mutation. 

So far as bees getting "high" from different herbs, there are problems with a few wild flowers that will gradually poison beehives. 

Everyone knows beekeepers use smoke to control aggression when working bees. The most commonly used smoke source is burlap bags from grain sacks.

However, it's not uncommon for beekeepers to just stuff dry grass or leaves in their bee smoker. One thing I learned to NEVER use is white sage. While it only has a mild effect on humans on bees it just gets them stoned out of their minds. They get messed up and just cling to the frame instead of moving away which is what you would like when you're working in a hive. Then, for whatever reason they cling extra hard to the combs. Maybe because they are messed up and can't move around? I'm sure there are possibly other herbs that would also have a negative effect on the bees but I'm also sure I wouldn't be wasting my money on burning some "herb" just to get bees high. As for mushrooms, pretty sure bees aren't interested in shrooms since there's no flowers and nectar.
