-BELL RINGS -All ready to go, Dr Knowles. -Colin! Do not move! | 0:00:02 | 0:00:07 | |
-There's a bee on your shoulder! -I know there is. -Huh? | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
Dr Knowles, meet Eric, my specially trained, super-intelligent | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
award-winning bumblebee. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
Aah! I don't like bees! Take him away! | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
There's nothing to be scared of, Dr Knowles. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
As long as we remain calm and don't make any sudden movements, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
Eric will... Aaah! | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Hey, everyone, look what I just found out the back. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
-AIR HORN BLARES -Eric, come back! | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
This is Brain Freeze! | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
With Dr Knowles... | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
Prof McCork... | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
and Colin, the floor manager. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Stand by! | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
Hi, everyone, and welcome to Brain Freeze. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
It's time for... | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
Today we're asking... | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
There are approximately 20,000 types of bee in the world. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
This include honey bees, bumblebees, carpenter bees, leafcutter bees. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
And they're all just horrible bugs that go around stinging people | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
-for no reason. -Not true, Professor. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
Believe it or not, if it wasn't for bees, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
-many of our favourite fruits and vegetables wouldn't exist. -You what? | 0:01:23 | 0:01:28 | |
Bees like the honey bee are one of nature's most important pollinators. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
They collect nectar and pollen from flowers to feed their hives, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
while at the same time transferring pollen from one plant to another. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
And they make honey as well. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
Oh, lovely, sweet, sticky honey. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
Honey bees are highly social creatures living in large | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
-well-organised hives, which revolve around the queen. -Typical. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
They even have their own means of communication called a waggle dance | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
which allows them to share directions to good food sources. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
# Take me to the biscuits Let's eat some more ice cream... # | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
I think it's time for a break. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
And we are clear. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
Dr Knowles! Dr Knowles! Come and see the new trick I've taught Eric. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
I'm not sure, Colin. What if he decides he wants to sting me? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Oh, nonsense. He's the friendliest bee I've ever kept. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
Watch this. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
He shoots! He scores! | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
-What the...? -Wait for it. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
That's incredible! | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Oh! That's so cute! | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
Thanks, Eric. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
Hey, lads, how's it going? | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
Aaah! A bee! | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
Positions, everyone! | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
So Pat just got in touch saying, "What about the sting? | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
-"Is it true the bee dies?" -Looks like it's time for... | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Oh, he's very loud, that fella. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
Now, female honey bees and bumblebees can and will sting, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
but only if they feel threatened. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
However, a honey bee has barbs on its stinger, | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
whereas a bumblebee does not. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
So when a honey bee stings, its barbs get stuck | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
and its insides are pulled apart as it tries to escape. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
Oh! That's awful! | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
But a bumblebee's stinger has no barbs, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
so when it stings it can escape unharmed. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
Yeah, I know which one I'd prefer to BEE... | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
Ha-ha! Do you get it, Doctor? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
Which I'd prefer to BEE! Ha-ha-ha! | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
Yeah, Professor, I heard you. Hilarious. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
See you next time, folks, and remember to BEE careful out there. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
Ha-ha-ha! BEE careful! | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
And we're clear! | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
-Colin, did you manage to find Eric again? -Ah, yes. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
I used an old beekeeper's trick. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
There he is! Aww! | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
-I don't know what I was so scared of. Bees are the best. -Told you, Doctor. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
Lads, has anyone seen my... | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
Aah! A bee! He's back! Run! | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Oh, Eric. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
I wish McCork was as easy to train as you. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 |
