When Bees get Drunk They get Their Legs Bitten Off

bareboards2says...

Man, this vid raises so many questions... biggest one is -- is the bee getting attacked because she (?) is acting weird and they think she is ill, not drunk, and the guard bees are keeping disease out of the hive?

And if that is true, do we chastise these filmmakers for promoting bad science?

I would definitely guess you're right. Much like this behavior from ants: http://youtu.be/XuKjBIBBAL8?t=54s
(and ants and bees share a common ancestor -- wasps).
