[NEW?] ilovebees.com is currently being fixed. Check it out, all the pages are being repaired. Some things may still be distored along the way, but it's being fixed. Remember to clear your cache first!
EDIT: Some pages are fixed, and then seem to screw up once again when another page is repaired. Hold down SHIFT while refreshing to see a fresh version of the page.

I've also noticed this, specifically in the "fun stuff" section.

I've noticed this a little too, although it may be partial trout. We know there are 5 versions of the images. On refresh, Im seeing a lot of the same stuff as before. Also, Ive checked the images, and have yet to see any messages that werent in the previous story. Maybe a sixth image version comming?

Trout.
This has been the case all along. The algorithm doesn't implement the "clues" on the pages on the site at all times. Randomly, you may click on a link within the site to another page and the page will not be "hacked".
Totally random, nothing to do with the ARG.
Someone lock this please.

The I Love Bees.com store has changed now, from the Halo 2 backed shirt, to these various designs.
The 7th Comb (there we go, another 7)
9 b illion
dead
, R.I.P. (the projected population of Earth around that time in the future?)
EDIT: Thank you for the correction on billion.
EDIT 2: No word "dead" in "9 billion, R.I.P.".

The site is also going down and coming up, most likely because of the enormous amount of hits it's getting. This topic does not need to be locked.

#beekeepers is pretty much unanimous -- the corrupted images are no longer showing up. We're getting the text snippets, and images are resized in funny ways as the layout is wonky. But the images aren't corrupted.
However, there's also a lot of trout in this thread. Maybe a new one is in order.

Repaired Last night I spent a fair amount of time reloading and downloading the wav from the "The Myth of Comatas" page in the "fun stuff!" section, and it was pretty badly messed up every time. It now appears to be repaired, and I can't get it to load a damaged version at all. This also seems to be the case with most of the recipes and the Hive-Ku page. I don't think this is a trout.
Maybe Dana is re-uploading the content again?

There is roughly 40 minutes left before the network throttle eroding will commence, just give it time.

Well I can't confirm this, but it seems images are resizing a LOT more than they used too, how much they resize relate to letters, or what?
Worth looking into

Yes, but the pages are becoming a lot less buggy now. Not a lot of random text is appearing.

Perhaps the 9 billion bees refer to the truck accident thingy that released 9 m illion(sic) bees into the air... i doubt that they died though.
Happened three weeks before ilovebees.com was "hacked"... this blog (linked in Dana's blog) was talking about it, so it rang a bell. http://ninemillionbees.blogspot.com/
It's nowhere near being a clue or whatever...

The site is not going down and coming up. I have refreshed it hundreds of times over the past day, and it's never been down. As has been stated here before, this site is being hosted on multiple IPs and multiple servers by RackSpace so that it never goes down.
Trout.
Lock it.
