a guy named bill put 10,000 bees on my
face let's talk about that
[Music]
good mythical morning let's be honest
when you are working as an intern attain
er like we are we don't know what
tomorrow holds we don't know what the
future holds right when this is your job
you got to be prepared for the day in
which people no longer care to click on
your face it's what you do so what we
decided to do is go out in the world and
find out if there's anything else that
we're good at with a little help from
our friends at Geico okay now we're
going to be doing a number of these
field trips over the course of the year
on GMM and we are calling it the back-up
plan
the first occupation we decided to try
was beekeeping first off that's a beat
you've probably already knew that and
that's bill a beekeeper
he literally keeps bees and that's Rob
he's basically a younger taller quieter
version of it so really nothing like
Bill at all except that he also keeps
bees they hold the knowledge of what
could be our future profession I hope
not
welcome to billows bees farm now I'm
typically the one who's afraid of stuff
I want that truth but today I'm excited
that the world is a little bit reversed
yeah yeah I'm a little uneasy my heart's
beating a little fast right now
you guys aren't scared of bees no that
would not Google well with this job you
do get stung oh you've been stopped only
one or two thousand times a year really
what really
I'm a fan of any job that requires a
specialized suit it makes me feel
important I'm a fan of a suit that keeps
bees from stinging me period we look
professional we look like we're there to
clean up a spill how many bees are we
talking about probably thirty and fifty
thousand bees per hive fifty thousand
bees in one of these boxes that's right
so the first thing that we're gonna do
is light the smoker smoke does two
things
disrupts that our ability to communicate
the second thing that the smoke does is
it makes them eat honey they start
eating their own honey they do that's
their food so now we got the smoker gone
the next step is to smoke the entrance
of the hive so it's just like the best
smoking job you've ever seen a
first-timer do it is impressed you gotta
be no I can't see out of my right eye oh
wow okay so we're gonna go through the
brood nest which is where the queen is
gonna be and where all the baby bees are
raised
now you're usually out here by yourself
are you like talking to yourself or you
talk to the bees yeah you can talk to
the bees nothing wrong with that the
only thing is they don't like the carbon
dioxide in your breath talk without
using air that's tough Rob you should
talk to bees like we just did can we see
the Queen now we sure can't so the main
thing that you want to do is check on
the the health of the Queen Queen
physical 50,000 bees you're gonna you're
gonna pinpoint the Queen like a needle
in a haystack
so this looks like this is mostly food
yeah there's no Queen there Rob I buddy
- I knew that as soon as I looked at it
see that big one right there that's the
Queen that is a drone the first one to
find the Queen wins what I think you
could eat it right there she is right
there nope that's a drone it can take a
little while she can be kind of hard to
spot
just a practical joke you think that
could be bingo
got it guys did you see that Rob I'm a
natural you want to check out and see if
she's injured in any way are you feeling
today you want to make sure she has you
know all all of her legs you have all
your leg
she looks great looking real good she's
looking healthy so this honey is ready
for us humans to take mercilessly you
don't want to harvest honey right here
next to the bees because it's like
rubbing it right in their face man
usually take two people to do this
generally a one man operation okay maybe
this will be our thing will be like the
tag-team beekeepers or we could be
tag-team wrestlers dressed as beekeepers
the buzzkills
okay bill we brought you a box of honey
we worked hard for that first thing we
got to do is shave the the cat's off
this comb oh there's a bee bee get in
here is that normal you actually don't
worry about the bee oh oh
jiggle-jiggle-jiggle and this slides
between the two blades and cuts off that
thin layer of beeswax it's sealing the
honey in the comb heat it straight out
of the hive like a king this is the best
that's like licking a beat push with
your left hand towards the the he did
now look at the other side of it he did
a pretty lousy job right you want to
give it a shot now that left hand you
need to push it towards your right hand
I can be the teacher now since I'm
I mean it didn't get off on either side
what happened fail oh look at dad kids
so this is um sit review centrifuge on
its side basically yeah
so you spin this all the honey goes out
we're gonna give this a little shove and
then turn the motor on whoa look at that
that's my reward don't you want one of
us to lay down there with our mouths
open
so this one is buckwheat and it's
blooming right outside these doors right
now and our be very pleased about done
them so your bees in yourself has
outdone itself what's this one this one
is actually I got a little bit
crystallized
well you've done it again which one is
this bill well last week we went up to
the citrus belt and harvested orange
blossom your bees that's one of the best
names you say like that I'm putty in
your hands
bill anything you say I will do that
that's the power that your bees honey
has over me well I have a little
extracurricular activity that partake in
and it involves thousands of stinging
insects on your face bee beard walk on
his face I think he would look good like
Bret I've already got it with a beard
yeah and he's already got one he'd look
good like me
this little wooden box contains a queen
if they're gonna want to be with her so
they're gonna be on me exactly what
suppose the leafblower for well that's
gonna be your job right gotta clean this
place up one you gotta do some
landscaping while I get a Beefeater
talking really loudly what'd I get loud
when I get nervous
Oh bill you can't just handle the rice
I'm a little bit petrified I'm just
gonna be honest this is gonna happen on
my face that's gonna happen on your face
okay now if I get stung what's what do I
say they actually are sensitive to noise
and vibration so scream but don't
vibrate
here comes tonight I've only got one
that just landed on my neck and I'm a
little freaking out right now how many
bees are there here there's probably
about ten to twelve thousand ten to
twelve thousand just like 12,000 bees it
only takes one distinct me and once that
one stings me they're gonna smell it and
they're all gonna stink right no bill
ones thing does make you a target for
more stings I'm gonna add a little aid
here on that thing this little plastic
strip actually has the scent of a queen
this is not the first time link has worn
something that is called the scent of a
queen can you take me to a happy place
can you tell me a story well he's just
put more bees on you it's basically what
he's doing now oh it looks great like if
it wasn't
I just blew them out no do the right
thing you did the right thing so bill I
mean you know what you are this is a
pretty awesome thing you're doing but
I'm pretty proud of myself I mean just
Oh give me two right two hours ago
I wouldn't been able to do this no he's
making this about him right now you're
helping me overcome my fear of bees by
getting a bunch of bees on your own body

you oh my goodness all my I've he's
trying to get into his eyeball bill is
