June 5 2020 - Bee Culture

We don't think much about bees even though they are out there now buzzing away on the flowers in the garden.  I wondered what world records involve bees.  That turned out to be a shock.  The records in the Guinness Records seem unpleasant at best, and at worst fearful and just plain creepy.  Here are the headlines: 

"Man covered in 1.1 million bees sets record"
"Longest duration with head fully covered in bees"
"Heaviest mantle of bees"
"A Toronto man just broke the bee beard world record"


So we will make a u-turn to the fun of bee jokes.  These come from a bee blog:
What’s black and yellow and flies at 30,000 feet? A bee on an airplane.
What buzzes, is black and yellow and goes along the bottom of the sea? A bee in a submarine.
What do they call a bee that can’t quit talking? Blabb-bee.
What is a swarm of really small queen bees called? The royal wee.
The bees’ favourite guns?  BeeBee guns, I suppose.

What do unionized bees ask for? More honey and shorter working flowers.

Question: Wanna listen to some music?  I've got bee-bop, Beethoven, Bee-yonce, the Bee-Tles, Bee-stie Boys, Cros-bee, Stills and Nash, Justin Bee-Bee.
Response:  Do you have anything from Sting?
