    A Oklahoma State Univ. study showed that you can give bees a buzz with small amounts of alcohol..  The low does of ethanol disrupted the normal social (and even non-social) behaviors of the hive.

    It will die. I'd imagine there is some microscopic amount that would not harm it but it would not even be seen by the naked eye.  That would be some REALLY  small cocktail glass you'd need to find  to put it in.

    Of course, all the bees' stuff is tiny, proportional to their bodies. You've seen "Bee Movie", right?
