Into your head If you're listening to this while tending to your bees, perhaps you're a beekeeper.
If you're a beekeeper, you're presumably feeding them, or you're stealing their food to make honey or something.
Do bees eat honey, or do they just gather it to pollinate flowers or something? I'm not sure.
Do they just wear it to attract a mate? They put the honey all over their face or something so they look shiny and sparkly and attract a mate.
Do bees even attract a mate? Don't they all have one queen bee, and then the rest of them are like members of the clergy.
They take a vow of celibacy, and then they serve this queen bee until she's Dead.
I presume there's an heir to the throne, at least in a communal bee community, such as, for example, a beehive.
There's no king bee, there's just the queen bee and all her underlings and slaves and hired help.
What do they do with it then? Maybe they varnish the house, they varnish the beehive and the hetracs.
Either way, if you're a beekeeper, you're probably feeding your bees or stealing their food, or stealing their varnish, AKA honey, or whatever it is they do there.
So you're either feeding your bees, tending to your bees in your beekeeping thing, or else you're tending to the bee infestation that you have in your house.
If you're not a beekeeper, and you have a bee infestation in your house, perhaps they've built a nest under the floorboards or in a wardrobe, or under your clothes.
