“How do you get the bee to stay still?”

Father Ted offers some interesting advice on queen bees.

“What is this for?” Sean says. Father Ted has sent him a device for bees. It’s a sort of plastic box. Sean has no idea what it does.

“I didn't leave enough information,” Father Ted says. “That plastic box is called either a queen cage or a butler cage. and it's used for transporting a queen bee. Beekeepers might use it to mark the queen bee. You put a dot of tippex on her or paint or something. I used to be a beekeeper.”

“How would you get the bee to stay still?” Sean says. “You put paint on the bee?”

With music from The Beatles, Kris Kristofferson, The Beach Boys, and more.
