Beyonce is a beekeeper
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 3 November 2020
Beyonce has revealed that one of her more unexpected hobbies is keeping bees. The revelation comes in a new interview with Vogue.
The most exciting part of this news is that her comments on beekeeping can be transposed directly into one of my favourite jokes, so that will be the delivery mechanism for this piece of news today…
Three beekeepers meet up in a pub and they’re discussing their different approaches to the profession. One turns to another and says, “So how many bees do you have?”
“I have two beehives”, says Beyonce. “Real ones. I’ve had them at my house for a while now. I have around 80,000 bees and we make hundreds of jars of honey a year”.
“Ha, well, I’ve got a few more bees than you”, says the first beekeeper. “I have over four million bees”.
“Wow, and how many hives do you put them in?”
“I have a similar split to you. I reckon 50,000 bees per hive, so I have 80 hives”.
Both then turn to the third beekeeper who up to this point has remained quiet. “And how about you? How many bees do you have?”
“I’ve got about a billion bees”, he says, looking up from his pint.
“That’s a lot of bees”, says the first beekeeper. “How many hives do you have?”
“One”, he shrugs.
“You’ve got a billion bees and you keep them in just one hive?” says the first beekeeper.
“Yeah”, says the third beekeeper. “Fuck em”.
