1
00:00:01,568 --> 00:00:03,198
CHARLIE: Hey, guys! Charlie
here, you know my sister, Kirby.
2
00:00:03,269 --> 00:00:04,639
KIRBY: Hey!
3
00:00:04,704 --> 00:00:06,074
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Today, we're hanging
out in our hometown,
4
00:00:06,139 --> 00:00:09,609
Chicago with hundreds of
thousands of honeybees.
5
00:00:09,676 --> 00:00:12,776
KIRBY: Did you know
that honeybees can
recognize human faces?
6
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:16,016
CHARLIE: Or that the queen bee
can lay over 1,000 eggs a day?
7
00:00:16,082 --> 00:00:17,252
KIRBY: Smoker's goin'!
8
00:00:17,317 --> 00:00:18,887
CHARLIE: It's time
for Weird But True !
9
00:00:39,739 --> 00:00:44,309
This is almost the prettiest
garden even gardened.
10
00:00:44,377 --> 00:00:46,447
KIRBY: I don't know
what I'm doing wrong!
11
00:00:46,513 --> 00:00:47,513
CHARLIE: Hey guys!
12
00:00:47,580 --> 00:00:48,850
KIRBY: Hey! I'm
glad you're here.
13
00:00:48,915 --> 00:00:50,975
I basically have the
world's greatest garden.
14
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:52,721
CHARLIE: Basically,
but not quite.
15
00:00:52,786 --> 00:00:54,916
KIRBY: I'm having trouble
with one particular area.
16
00:00:54,988 --> 00:00:57,358
And it's driving me crazy!
17
00:00:58,158 --> 00:01:00,058
KIRBY (off-screen): I've grown
lettuce, big puffy flowers,
18
00:01:00,126 --> 00:01:01,726
small colorful flowers.
19
00:01:01,795 --> 00:01:03,825
Basically everything
you could ever want.
20
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:05,367
It's incredible.
21
00:01:05,432 --> 00:01:07,302
Everything except fruit.
22
00:01:07,367 --> 00:01:10,097
KIRBY (off-screen): Its
like no matter how hard I
try I can't grow fruits.
23
00:01:10,170 --> 00:01:11,200
What's going on?
24
00:01:11,271 --> 00:01:12,641
CHARLIE: Kirb. Where are
the pollinators?
25
00:01:12,705 --> 00:01:13,835
KIRBY: The what?
26
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:15,177
CHARLIE: The pollinators,
like the honeybees?
27
00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:17,141
KIRBY: Charles, do you wanna
get stung or something?
28
00:01:17,210 --> 00:01:18,580
No bees allowed.
29
00:01:18,645 --> 00:01:21,245
CHARLIE: You need pollinators,
especially honeybees,
30
00:01:21,314 --> 00:01:22,524
to get fruits.
31
00:01:22,582 --> 00:01:23,922
KIRBY (off-screen): I've done
everything else by myself.
32
00:01:23,983 --> 00:01:26,223
So why would I wanna rely
on stinging little pests
33
00:01:26,286 --> 00:01:27,546
to get me fruit?
34
00:01:27,620 --> 00:01:29,260
CHARLIE: First off, they're
not gonna sting you.
35
00:01:29,322 --> 00:01:30,792
Second off, I'm
telling you Kirb,
36
00:01:30,857 --> 00:01:32,727
you can't live without bees.
37
00:01:32,792 --> 00:01:34,432
They're super pollinators.
38
00:01:34,494 --> 00:01:36,404
I'll tell you all about
it, because today,
39
00:01:36,463 --> 00:01:38,603
we're unraveling
the world of.
40
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,230
CHARLIE (off-screen): Bees!
41
00:01:41,301 --> 00:01:42,671
KIRBY (off-screen): Bees!
42
00:01:44,137 --> 00:01:46,237
Charles, this is a
kamikaze mission.
43
00:01:46,306 --> 00:01:47,706
We're gonna get stung.
44
00:01:47,774 --> 00:01:50,244
CHARLIE: You don't have
to worry about that Kirb.
45
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:51,980
KIRBY: Ok yeah?
Tell me why.
46
00:01:52,045 --> 00:01:54,375
CHARLIE: Because bees aren't
the angry stingers that you
47
00:01:54,447 --> 00:01:55,877
think they are.
48
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:58,419
There are a whole bunch of
players in the pollination
49
00:01:58,485 --> 00:02:00,745
game that you're
confusing them with.
50
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:06,188
Welcome back sports fans.
51
00:02:06,259 --> 00:02:08,289
Chip Shivers,
alongside Bob Frost.
52
00:02:08,361 --> 00:02:09,831
KIRBY: Pleasure
to be here Chip.
53
00:02:09,896 --> 00:02:11,056
CHARLIE: Pleasure
to have you Bob.
54
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:14,601
Today, everybody's talking
who's gonna win this year's
55
00:02:14,667 --> 00:02:17,797
Pollinator League MVP, Bob?
56
00:02:17,871 --> 00:02:20,471
KIRBY: You know, Chip, it's
blasphemous we're still having
57
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:21,810
this conversation.
58
00:02:21,875 --> 00:02:26,275
The undeniable best pollinator
in the league is the honeybee.
59
00:02:26,346 --> 00:02:27,676
CHARLIE: I agree Bob.
60
00:02:27,747 --> 00:02:29,447
Let's break down our players.
61
00:02:30,216 --> 00:02:32,486
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Wasps versus bees.
62
00:02:32,552 --> 00:02:34,922
Bees are fuzzy and plump.
63
00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:38,058
Wasps are hairless and skinny.
64
00:02:38,124 --> 00:02:41,164
The bees use their fuzzy
hairs and plump bodies
65
00:02:41,227 --> 00:02:43,127
to collect pollen and.
66
00:02:43,196 --> 00:02:44,796
Boom shakalaka!
67
00:02:44,864 --> 00:02:46,834
We got pollen in the hive!
68
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:49,300
KIRBY: They call 'em the
clumsy carpenter because.
69
00:02:49,369 --> 00:02:50,739
CHARLIE: They drop the hammer.
70
00:02:50,803 --> 00:02:51,913
KIRBY: Now check this out.
71
00:02:51,971 --> 00:02:53,941
Same game, across the garden.
72
00:02:54,007 --> 00:02:56,877
KIRBY (off-screen): Now most
wasps don't seek out pollen,
73
00:02:56,943 --> 00:03:00,853
they're insectivores, which
means they eat other insects.
74
00:03:00,914 --> 00:03:04,354
Whoa! That one cost him five
minutes in the penalty box.
75
00:03:04,417 --> 00:03:06,947
CHARLIE: They call 'em
week old leftovers because.
76
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:08,290
KIRBY: They're disgusting.
77
00:03:08,354 --> 00:03:11,024
CHARLIE: You know Bob, it
seems like this season wasps
78
00:03:11,090 --> 00:03:13,290
have been playing
very emotionally.
79
00:03:13,359 --> 00:03:14,559
KIRBY: It's egregious, Chip.
80
00:03:14,627 --> 00:03:16,657
CHARLIE (off-screen): Some
wasps are very aggressive.
81
00:03:16,729 --> 00:03:19,799
They might sting animals
over and over and over.
82
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:22,336
But bees are much
less aggressive.
83
00:03:22,402 --> 00:03:25,512
They will only sting if
the hive is in danger.
84
00:03:25,572 --> 00:03:27,372
That's it for today.
Chip Shivers.
85
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,370
KIRBY: Bob Frost.
86
00:03:28,441 --> 00:03:29,581
CHARLIE: Catch ya next time.
87
00:03:31,411 --> 00:03:33,451
KIRBY: So it sounds like
bees, the fuzzy ones,
88
00:03:33,513 --> 00:03:34,753
aren't the mean ones.
89
00:03:34,814 --> 00:03:35,984
CHARLIE: Correct.
90
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:37,249
KIRBY: Cool, they're nice.
91
00:03:37,317 --> 00:03:39,617
But why do I need
them to make fruit?
92
00:03:39,686 --> 00:03:43,216
CHARLIE: Well, bees
collect pollen to make
stuff like honey.
93
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:46,229
And when they do that, they're
pollinating your flowers.
94
00:03:46,292 --> 00:03:48,532
It's all right in here.
95
00:03:51,164 --> 00:03:53,174
CHARLIE (off-screen): A worker
bee lands on a flower and it
96
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:56,073
collects pollen from
this part the anther.
97
00:03:56,135 --> 00:03:59,365
Then, it flies to another
flower to collect more and
98
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:02,139
deposits some of that
pollen, from the first plant,
99
00:04:02,208 --> 00:04:04,278
right here, on the stigma.
100
00:04:04,344 --> 00:04:06,854
Where it forms a seed
and eventually a fruit!
101
00:04:06,913 --> 00:04:09,653
This needs to happen
for fruit to grow.
102
00:04:09,716 --> 00:04:12,986
If there's no transfer of
pollen, there's no seed,
103
00:04:13,052 --> 00:04:15,892
no fruit, and one sad Kirby.
104
00:04:17,156 --> 00:04:19,086
That's what's going
on in your garden.
105
00:04:19,158 --> 00:04:20,558
KIRBY: I mean that
sounds pretty easy.
106
00:04:20,627 --> 00:04:23,397
I just need to transfer
pollen between flowers.
107
00:04:23,463 --> 00:04:25,533
All I need is like
a cotton swab.
108
00:04:25,598 --> 00:04:26,868
KIRBY (off-screen):
How hard could it be?
109
00:04:26,933 --> 00:04:28,273
CHARLIE: It's very hard.
110
00:04:28,334 --> 00:04:31,144
KIRBY: Doubt it, a tiny
little insect can do it.
111
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:33,874
CHARLIE: Kirb, it's almost
like these bees have
112
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:36,280
pollination superpowers.
113
00:04:37,477 --> 00:04:38,847
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Bees are tiny,
114
00:04:38,911 --> 00:04:42,451
but they can collect
pollen as far as six
miles from the hive.
115
00:04:42,515 --> 00:04:45,715
One honeybee pollinates
thousands of flowers a day.
116
00:04:45,785 --> 00:04:48,115
And they don't need a lot
of food to make the trip.
117
00:04:48,187 --> 00:04:51,117
It would only take one ounce
of honey to fuel a bee's
118
00:04:51,190 --> 00:04:53,790
flight around
the entire world.
119
00:04:53,860 --> 00:04:55,660
That's this much.
120
00:04:55,728 --> 00:04:58,898
This is all the fuel that
a honeybee needs to travel
121
00:04:58,965 --> 00:05:01,665
completely around the world.
122
00:05:01,734 --> 00:05:03,474
KIRBY: That's crazy!
CHARLIE: Yeah.
123
00:05:03,536 --> 00:05:05,406
KIRBY: Well where the
heck are they then?
124
00:05:05,471 --> 00:05:08,041
CHARLIE: Ugh.
About that.
125
00:05:09,575 --> 00:05:11,575
KIRBY (off-screen): What?
They're disappearing?
126
00:05:11,644 --> 00:05:14,014
CHARLIE: Like crazy.
KIRBY: Since when?
127
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,720
CHARLIE: Since,
for a long time.
128
00:05:15,782 --> 00:05:18,892
Let me take you back like
a gazillion years ago,
129
00:05:18,951 --> 00:05:21,151
to the 1940s.
130
00:05:22,121 --> 00:05:24,161
MAN (off-screen): Extra! Extra!
131
00:05:24,223 --> 00:05:26,833
CHARLIE (off-screen):
The 1947 bee count is in.
132
00:05:26,893 --> 00:05:31,033
There are six million managed
beehives in the United States.
133
00:05:31,097 --> 00:05:32,827
Dig it.
134
00:05:32,899 --> 00:05:35,739
The 1970 bee count is
down to four million.
135
00:05:35,802 --> 00:05:38,142
U.S. bees vanish
without a trace.
136
00:05:38,204 --> 00:05:41,174
From Weird but True world
headquarters in Chicago.
137
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,880
This is Earth News
Tonight with Charlie.
138
00:05:43,943 --> 00:05:45,213
Good evening.
139
00:05:45,278 --> 00:05:47,848
We begin tonight with
a 2016 bee count.
140
00:05:47,914 --> 00:05:50,854
We're down to just
2.5 million hives.
141
00:05:50,917 --> 00:05:52,647
Where are the bees?
142
00:05:52,719 --> 00:05:55,659
Joining us to answer that
question is a scientist.
143
00:05:55,722 --> 00:05:57,222
You look like my sister.
144
00:05:57,290 --> 00:05:58,620
KIRBY: You look
like my brother.
145
00:05:58,691 --> 00:06:00,031
CHARLIE: Hmm.
KIRBY: Hmm.
146
00:06:00,093 --> 00:06:03,163
We theorize these losses
are due to mite infestation
147
00:06:03,229 --> 00:06:08,199
pesticide usage, or
natural forage loss.
148
00:06:08,267 --> 00:06:09,797
CHARLIE: Do you have a
name for this phenomenon?
149
00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:12,169
KIRBY: Well in some cases,
bees are disappearing quickly,
150
00:06:12,238 --> 00:06:15,538
seemingly at random, and
in catastrophic numbers.
151
00:06:15,608 --> 00:06:19,348
So we've decided to name it
Colony Collapse Disorder,
152
00:06:19,412 --> 00:06:21,412
or CCD.
153
00:06:21,481 --> 00:06:24,321
Whoa, Colony
Collapse Disorder.
154
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:29,764
CHARLIE: Yeah, entire
hives are disappearing
all across the country.
155
00:06:29,822 --> 00:06:32,462
KIRBY: My garden's a
goner without the bees!
156
00:06:32,525 --> 00:06:34,125
We gotta do something!
157
00:06:34,193 --> 00:06:35,663
CHARLIE: Yeah, but like what?
158
00:06:35,728 --> 00:06:38,768
KIRBY: I guess if the bees
won't come here on their own,
159
00:06:38,831 --> 00:06:40,501
we gotta bring them
here ourselves.
160
00:06:40,566 --> 00:06:41,966
CHARLIE: What?
161
00:06:42,034 --> 00:06:44,044
KIRBY: I need to
become a beekeeper.
162
00:06:44,103 --> 00:06:47,143
And I know exactly
who to call! Jana Kinsman!
163
00:06:47,206 --> 00:06:50,006
She's an urban beekeeper and
she's right here in Chicago!
164
00:06:50,076 --> 00:06:52,006
CHARLIE: Cool, cool!
Let's go!
165
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,180
CHARLIE (off-screen): We're
off to learn beekeeping 101 at
166
00:06:56,249 --> 00:06:57,449
Bike A Bee.
167
00:06:57,517 --> 00:06:59,117
And to get there we
don't have to go far.
168
00:06:59,185 --> 00:07:01,885
Illinois is home to
500 species of bees.
169
00:07:01,954 --> 00:07:04,124
And they don't all live
out in the countryside.
170
00:07:04,190 --> 00:07:05,930
KIRBY (off-screen):
Weird but true.
171
00:07:15,134 --> 00:07:16,374
CHARLIE: Hey,
Guys, we made it!
172
00:07:16,436 --> 00:07:17,866
KIRBY: Yup, took us like
20 minutes to get here.
173
00:07:17,937 --> 00:07:19,807
CHARLIE: We're here to
meet up with Jana Kinsman.
174
00:07:19,872 --> 00:07:21,572
She's a professional
beekeeper.
175
00:07:21,641 --> 00:07:24,241
KIRBY: And her bees
aren't in some garden or
forest or something.
176
00:07:24,310 --> 00:07:26,250
They're here in the
south side of Chicago.
177
00:07:26,312 --> 00:07:27,912
CHARLIE: They're
actually on the roof!
178
00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:30,250
Of this building.
What do you think Kirb?
179
00:07:30,316 --> 00:07:31,416
Take the stairs?
180
00:07:31,484 --> 00:07:32,494
KIRBY: Nah.
181
00:07:34,086 --> 00:07:35,586
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Meet Jana Kinsman,
182
00:07:35,655 --> 00:07:36,955
founder of Bike A Bee.
183
00:07:37,023 --> 00:07:40,393
She visits her beehives all
over Chicago by bicycle.
184
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,160
So she can help
keep the city green.
185
00:07:42,228 --> 00:07:43,858
Her favorite weird
but true fact is.
186
00:07:43,930 --> 00:07:47,100
JANA: Over 90% of a
honeybee colony is female.
187
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:49,070
CHARLIE: It's
nice to meet ya!
188
00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:50,395
JANA: Hey!
Nice to meet you guys!
189
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:51,500
KIRBY: Nice to meet you.
190
00:07:51,571 --> 00:07:52,771
CHARLIE: Here's the situation.
JANA: Ok.
191
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:55,109
CHARLIE: We're trying to
attract some bees to Kirby's
192
00:07:55,174 --> 00:07:57,344
garden because there
are no pollinators here.
193
00:07:57,410 --> 00:08:00,350
And apparently you're
the person to talk to
about bees, right?
194
00:08:00,413 --> 00:08:01,613
JANA: That's correct.
195
00:08:01,681 --> 00:08:03,151
CHARLIE (off-screen): All right,
here's my main question.
196
00:08:03,216 --> 00:08:06,416
We're right outside Chicago
on the roof a building and
197
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:07,586
you keep bees here?
198
00:08:07,653 --> 00:08:08,863
JANA: I do.
199
00:08:08,921 --> 00:08:10,421
CHARLIE: Sounds like entirely,
kind of, counterintuitive.
200
00:08:10,490 --> 00:08:11,990
JANA: You'd think that, right?
201
00:08:12,058 --> 00:08:14,228
JANA (off-screen): I
wanted to keep bees, but I
didn't have a backyard.
202
00:08:14,293 --> 00:08:17,163
So my friends gave me space on
the roof to keep my bees and
203
00:08:17,230 --> 00:08:19,070
there's a ton of
diversity here.
204
00:08:19,131 --> 00:08:22,801
KIRBY: What do we do
when bees are coming at
us and I get scared?
205
00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:24,699
JANA: Don't be scared.
Be relaxed.
206
00:08:24,770 --> 00:08:28,040
We also go very slow while
we're in the hive and for the
207
00:08:28,107 --> 00:08:30,407
most part it's just a
very relaxing experience.
208
00:08:30,476 --> 00:08:34,106
CHARLIE: So calm and don't
freak out and the bees will
209
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:36,020
respect you if
you respect them.
210
00:08:36,082 --> 00:08:37,282
JANA: Exactly.
211
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:40,150
CHARLIE: I'm sure you like
deck yourself out in those
212
00:08:40,219 --> 00:08:41,519
giant bee suits, right?
213
00:08:41,587 --> 00:08:42,917
JANA: No. I wear this.
214
00:08:42,989 --> 00:08:46,159
And I wear only a veil
to protect my face.
215
00:08:46,225 --> 00:08:47,355
CHARLIE: Just in case.
JANA: Just in case.
216
00:08:47,426 --> 00:08:48,656
CHARLIE (off-screen): That's it?
217
00:08:48,728 --> 00:08:49,758
JANA: Yeah.
218
00:08:49,829 --> 00:08:51,259
CHARLIE (off-screen):
To securely fasten our
219
00:08:51,330 --> 00:08:52,730
veils we wear baseball caps,
220
00:08:52,798 --> 00:08:55,638
pop our collars, and tie the
straps around our bodies to
221
00:08:55,701 --> 00:08:57,801
create a seal
that's bee proof.
222
00:08:58,304 --> 00:08:59,544
JANA: Ta-da!
CHARLIE: All right.
223
00:08:59,605 --> 00:09:01,505
CHARLIE (off-screen): Before
we head over to the hive,
224
00:09:01,574 --> 00:09:04,084
Jana explains all the
tools we need to know.
225
00:09:04,143 --> 00:09:06,113
First up the smoker.
226
00:09:06,812 --> 00:09:08,182
Which I don't really
get the point of.
227
00:09:08,247 --> 00:09:09,447
What does it do?
228
00:09:09,515 --> 00:09:11,245
Does it just make the bees
kind of sleepy? Or what?
229
00:09:11,317 --> 00:09:14,547
JANA: Bees typically lived in
hollowed out old trees so if
230
00:09:14,620 --> 00:09:17,460
the bees sensed smoke they
just filled themselves up with
231
00:09:17,523 --> 00:09:20,333
honey and then once the tree
actually caught on fire
232
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:21,463
they would leave.
233
00:09:21,527 --> 00:09:22,597
CHARLIE: So it's like
they're packing up.
234
00:09:22,662 --> 00:09:23,902
JANA: Yeah, yeah.
CHARLIE: Getting ready to go.
235
00:09:23,963 --> 00:09:25,263
JANA: Yeah, they're
just packing up to go.
236
00:09:25,331 --> 00:09:26,931
So what's great about the
smoker is that it, of course,
237
00:09:26,999 --> 00:09:28,199
doesn't light
the hive on fire.
238
00:09:28,267 --> 00:09:30,437
It just kind of tricks them
into eating honey quickly so
239
00:09:30,503 --> 00:09:32,773
that we can go in and
safely see what's going on.
240
00:09:32,838 --> 00:09:34,068
CHARLIE: All right cool.
241
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:35,710
CHARLIE (off-screen): Each
smoker is built to house a
242
00:09:35,775 --> 00:09:39,175
small internal fire that
can be fueled by waste like
243
00:09:39,245 --> 00:09:41,105
newspapers or egg cartons.
244
00:09:41,180 --> 00:09:43,350
A quick strike
of the match and.
245
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:46,516
JANA (off-screen):
Smoker's ready to go.
246
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:49,186
And then I have my hive
tool to get the hive open
247
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:50,915
and my bee brush.
248
00:09:50,990 --> 00:09:52,330
KIRBY: That's it.
JANA: Just in case.
249
00:09:52,391 --> 00:09:53,431
Those are all my tools.
250
00:09:53,492 --> 00:09:54,592
KIRBY: Amazing.
251
00:09:54,660 --> 00:09:55,930
CHARLIE: Let's
go see the bees!
252
00:09:57,096 --> 00:09:58,096
CHARLIE (off-screen):
So these are your bees.
253
00:09:58,164 --> 00:09:59,234
JANA (off-screen): Yup.
254
00:09:59,298 --> 00:10:00,228
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Kirb, how you feeling?
255
00:10:00,299 --> 00:10:01,399
There are bees all
over us right now.
256
00:10:01,467 --> 00:10:02,567
KIRBY: I feel fine.
257
00:10:02,635 --> 00:10:04,165
CHARLIE: I feel calm.
KIRBY: Relaxed.
258
00:10:04,236 --> 00:10:05,636
CHARLIE: Relaxed.
Respect the bees.
259
00:10:05,705 --> 00:10:07,165
KIRBY: They'll respect you.
260
00:10:07,239 --> 00:10:08,439
CHARLIE: All right,
let's dive in.
261
00:10:08,507 --> 00:10:09,707
JANA: All right.
KIRBY: Let's take a peak.
262
00:10:09,775 --> 00:10:11,805
JANA: So we're gonna take our
smoker and just give 'em a
263
00:10:11,877 --> 00:10:13,307
little bit of
puff on the front,
264
00:10:13,379 --> 00:10:15,149
which is where they're
coming and going from.
265
00:10:15,214 --> 00:10:16,854
JANA (off-screen): Knock, knock!
266
00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:18,216
KIRBY: It's their doorbell.
Knock, knock!
267
00:10:18,284 --> 00:10:20,324
JANA: I'm gonna put a little
bit of smoke underneath the
268
00:10:20,386 --> 00:10:21,386
top here as well.
269
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:22,394
KIRBY (off-screen): Bees!
270
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:23,615
CHARLIE: Wow!
271
00:10:23,689 --> 00:10:24,959
KIRBY: Whoa.
272
00:10:25,024 --> 00:10:27,194
JANA: So I'm using my tool to
get this frame out carefully.
273
00:10:27,259 --> 00:10:29,529
Moving slowly and evenly.
274
00:10:29,595 --> 00:10:32,425
KIRBY (off-screen):
Oh that's so cool!
275
00:10:32,498 --> 00:10:34,368
CHARLIE (off-screen): Oh man!
276
00:10:34,433 --> 00:10:36,473
KIRBY (off-screen): Look
how many bees there are!
277
00:10:36,535 --> 00:10:38,935
JANA: So most of the bees
that you see are worker bees.
278
00:10:39,005 --> 00:10:41,635
And some of the bees, like
this big fat guy right here,
279
00:10:41,707 --> 00:10:43,237
this is a drone.
280
00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:45,979
CHARLIE: So different
bees have different jobs.
281
00:10:46,045 --> 00:10:48,045
We have some friends who can
help us learn about this
282
00:10:48,114 --> 00:10:49,524
just a bit more.
283
00:10:50,816 --> 00:10:51,746
Well, hi there!
284
00:10:51,817 --> 00:10:53,287
KIRBY: Welcome to
Honeybee Job Services,
285
00:10:53,352 --> 00:10:56,022
we work for the hive now, and
we're so excited you wanna
286
00:10:56,088 --> 00:10:57,188
work here, too!
287
00:10:57,256 --> 00:10:58,956
CHARLIE: We employ
a lot of bees.
288
00:10:59,025 --> 00:11:02,925
Each hive holds 50,000
worker bees, 300 drones,
289
00:11:02,995 --> 00:11:05,095
and one wonderful queen.
290
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:07,304
KIRBY: Does being a
worker bee interest you?
291
00:11:07,366 --> 00:11:08,766
CHARLIE: It's so fun.
292
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:11,174
They work for every second
of their entire lives,
293
00:11:11,237 --> 00:11:13,467
slowly rising up the ranks.
294
00:11:14,407 --> 00:11:16,137
CHARLIE (off-screen):
These are the female bees.
295
00:11:16,208 --> 00:11:18,908
When they hatch they get right
to work cleaning their combs.
296
00:11:18,978 --> 00:11:21,808
Then they're brood nurses,
responsible for feeding the
297
00:11:21,881 --> 00:11:25,751
9,000 larva,
1,300 times a day, each!
298
00:11:25,818 --> 00:11:28,288
Next they go into
construction,
299
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:29,664
building the hive.
300
00:11:29,722 --> 00:11:31,862
Join the army and
defend the entryway.
301
00:11:31,924 --> 00:11:35,164
And if they're good workers,
they finally become foragers,
302
00:11:35,227 --> 00:11:38,457
gathering pollen and
carrying water to the hive!
303
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:40,301
KIRBY: The work never stops.
304
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:41,696
CHARLIE: Ever.
KIRBY: Too much?
305
00:11:41,767 --> 00:11:43,637
CHARLIE: Looking for
something a bit easier?
306
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:46,113
KIRBY: Maybe being a drone
is the right job for you.
307
00:11:46,172 --> 00:11:48,172
KIRBY (off-screen):
These are the male bees.
308
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,010
They mate with the queen and
do absolutely nothing else.
309
00:11:51,077 --> 00:11:54,407
It's a breeze, oh but be
careful, in the winter,
310
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,720
drones aren't needed, so
the worker bees kick them
311
00:11:56,782 --> 00:11:58,352
out of the hive.
312
00:11:58,417 --> 00:11:59,487
KIRBY: Oh my.
313
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:01,052
CHARLIE: Get out of
here, you lazy bees!
314
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,520
KIRBY: Bye-bye!
CHARLIE: Too dangerous?
315
00:12:02,588 --> 00:12:04,258
KIRBY: Looking for
something a bit more plush?
316
00:12:04,323 --> 00:12:06,263
CHARLIE: I hear that the
hive next door is looking
317
00:12:06,325 --> 00:12:08,055
for a queen bee.
318
00:12:08,127 --> 00:12:10,227
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Being a queen is great.
319
00:12:10,296 --> 00:12:11,956
Everyone else works for you.
320
00:12:12,031 --> 00:12:14,501
All you have to do is lay
your own weight in eggs every
321
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:17,597
couple of hours, about
1,000 eggs every single day.
322
00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:18,840
So fun!
323
00:12:18,904 --> 00:12:20,174
KIRBY: So many eggs!
324
00:12:20,239 --> 00:12:22,309
CHARLIE: Like any job, I guess
it has its pluses and minuses.
325
00:12:22,374 --> 00:12:25,414
KIRBY: Well, once you
decide, just drop an
application in our mailbox!
326
00:12:25,478 --> 00:12:27,348
CHARLIE: Thanks so
much for stopping by!
327
00:12:31,317 --> 00:12:33,217
JANA: I wanna see if
we can find the queen.
328
00:12:33,285 --> 00:12:36,015
She has a much longer abdomen.
329
00:12:36,088 --> 00:12:37,788
She's very orange.
330
00:12:37,857 --> 00:12:39,887
JANA (off-screen): She doesn't
have too much black on her.
331
00:12:39,959 --> 00:12:41,259
KIRBY: She's there!
JANA: Oh I see her.
332
00:12:41,327 --> 00:12:42,357
KIRBY: Look at her, she's huge!
333
00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:43,728
CHARLIE (off-screen): What? Ooh.
334
00:12:43,796 --> 00:12:45,226
JANA (off-screen): She's huge.
335
00:12:45,297 --> 00:12:46,667
KIRBY (off-screen): She
looks completely
different than everyone.
336
00:12:46,732 --> 00:12:48,732
This hive is super
busy because it still
337
00:12:48,801 --> 00:12:50,501
has a lot of honey
left to make.
338
00:12:50,569 --> 00:12:52,869
So we head downstairs to grab
some honeycombs that Jana says
339
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:55,208
are ready to harvest.
340
00:12:55,941 --> 00:12:57,911
CHARLIE: So an hour ago I
probably wouldn't have walked
341
00:12:57,977 --> 00:12:59,747
up to these hives
without thinking twice.
342
00:12:59,812 --> 00:13:02,382
And now we're shaking
bees off their own honey.
343
00:13:02,448 --> 00:13:03,648
CHARLIE (off-screen):
This is pretty awesome.
344
00:13:03,716 --> 00:13:04,776
One firm shake?
345
00:13:04,850 --> 00:13:05,820
JANA (off-screen): Yup.
346
00:13:05,885 --> 00:13:06,885
CHARLIE (off-screen): Ugh.
347
00:13:06,952 --> 00:13:07,992
JANA (off-screen): You did it!
348
00:13:08,053 --> 00:13:09,163
CHARLIE: Then we
brush the rest off?
349
00:13:09,221 --> 00:13:10,591
KIRBY (off-screen): Bye guys.
350
00:13:10,656 --> 00:13:12,416
JANA: So I think we
should bring this honey
upstairs and extract it.
351
00:13:12,491 --> 00:13:13,791
KIRBY: Yeah!
352
00:13:13,859 --> 00:13:15,229
CHARLIE: Let's do it.
KIRBY: Let's do it.
353
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:18,796
JANA: Each of you guys
gets a capping scratcher,
354
00:13:18,864 --> 00:13:21,504
which is the tool that we'll
use to remove the caps.
355
00:13:21,567 --> 00:13:22,867
CHARLIE: Capping scratcher.
356
00:13:22,935 --> 00:13:25,435
CHARLIE (off-screen): After
bees convert the nectar they
357
00:13:25,504 --> 00:13:28,974
gather into honey they seal it
up to protect it with a thin
358
00:13:29,041 --> 00:13:30,941
wax covering called a cap.
359
00:13:31,010 --> 00:13:33,950
JANA: So with your
frame of honey,
360
00:13:34,013 --> 00:13:38,453
take your capping scratcher
and put it slightly under the
361
00:13:38,517 --> 00:13:40,647
caps and then pop 'em off.
362
00:13:40,719 --> 00:13:41,849
Like that.
363
00:13:41,921 --> 00:13:42,961
CHARLIE: Okay.
364
00:13:43,022 --> 00:13:44,322
KIRBY: Oh look at it flowing!
365
00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:46,460
JANA: You wanna make sure
you get every cap off.
366
00:13:46,525 --> 00:13:49,795
Cause if you don't then that's
honey that we will not get.
367
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:52,672
And then when it gets full
you can scrape it off.
368
00:13:52,731 --> 00:13:54,831
CHARLIE (off-screen):
All right let's do it.
369
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:01,566
JANA: All right, that
looks pretty good.
370
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:02,740
You wanna put it
in the extractor?
371
00:14:02,808 --> 00:14:03,738
KIRBY: You bet.
372
00:14:03,809 --> 00:14:05,039
JANA: All right.
373
00:14:05,978 --> 00:14:06,778
So you're gonna.
374
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:08,046
KIRBY: Ooh.
375
00:14:08,113 --> 00:14:09,013
JANA (off-screen): Put it
straight down into that cage.
376
00:14:09,081 --> 00:14:10,281
KIRBY (off-screen): Ok.
377
00:14:10,349 --> 00:14:11,519
JANA (off-screen): Perfect.
378
00:14:11,584 --> 00:14:13,954
So this is gonna spin and
all of the honey's gonna get
379
00:14:14,019 --> 00:14:15,489
pulled out of the frame.
380
00:14:15,554 --> 00:14:17,764
CHARLIE (off-screen): It kind of
works like a centrifuge right?
381
00:14:17,823 --> 00:14:18,923
JANA (off-screen): Exactly.
382
00:14:18,991 --> 00:14:20,291
CHARLIE (off-screen): Cool
science word centrifuge.
383
00:14:20,359 --> 00:14:23,729
That's a device that spins
around and separates materials
384
00:14:23,796 --> 00:14:25,296
using centrifugal force.
385
00:14:25,364 --> 00:14:27,934
In this case, it's separating
the honey from the comb.
386
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
All right, let's fire it up!
387
00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:31,439
JANA: Ready?
KIRBY: Let's go!
388
00:14:31,503 --> 00:14:32,873
JANA: All right.
389
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,480
CHARLIE: So you can see inside
the frames are being spun
390
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:37,912
around really fast.
391
00:14:37,977 --> 00:14:41,747
The honey is being tossed
to the walls of this barrel.
392
00:14:41,814 --> 00:14:45,254
CHARLIE (off-screen): And
once enough is there, they'll
come out this spout
393
00:14:45,317 --> 00:14:46,717
into our bucket.
394
00:14:46,785 --> 00:14:47,785
JANA (off-screen): All right.
395
00:14:47,853 --> 00:14:49,123
KIRBY (off-screen): It's time.
396
00:14:49,555 --> 00:14:50,615
JANA: We're done.
So do you guys wanna try some?
397
00:14:50,689 --> 00:14:51,759
KIRBY (off-screen): Yes.
398
00:14:51,824 --> 00:14:52,964
CHARLIE (off-screen): Yeah!
399
00:14:53,025 --> 00:14:53,825
JANA (off-screen): Put your
finger right under here.
400
00:14:53,893 --> 00:14:54,963
KIRBY (off-screen): Aw yes.
401
00:14:55,027 --> 00:14:56,157
JANA (off-screen):
Get a little dollop.
402
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:57,528
CHARLIE: Ahhh.
403
00:14:59,732 --> 00:15:01,372
KIRBY (off-screen): Mmm,
oh my gosh, it's so good!
404
00:15:01,433 --> 00:15:03,703
CHARLIE: Why is
honey so sweet?
405
00:15:03,769 --> 00:15:07,369
JANA: So honey is a
concentrated form of
flower nectar.
406
00:15:07,439 --> 00:15:10,509
JANA (off-screen): So
the bees gather it up,
put it in the comb,
407
00:15:10,576 --> 00:15:14,246
and then by fanning their
wings they evaporate most of
408
00:15:14,313 --> 00:15:15,583
the moisture out of it.
409
00:15:15,648 --> 00:15:16,718
KIRBY (off-screen): Ooh.
410
00:15:16,782 --> 00:15:18,252
CHARLIE: So it's
like goopy sugar?
411
00:15:18,317 --> 00:15:19,687
JANA (off-screen): Yeah,
they just super concentrate
it to the point
412
00:15:19,752 --> 00:15:21,292
where it's not able
to ferment anymore.
413
00:15:21,353 --> 00:15:22,353
CHARLIE: So does that mean
that honey never goes bad?
414
00:15:22,421 --> 00:15:23,521
JANA (off-screen): Correct.
415
00:15:23,589 --> 00:15:24,959
KIRBY: Ooh.
416
00:15:25,024 --> 00:15:27,794
JANA: They found honey
in Egyptian tombs that
was still edible.
417
00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:29,530
KIRBY: That's crazy.
418
00:15:29,595 --> 00:15:32,125
JANA: Keep a lid on your
honey and it'll last forever.
419
00:15:32,197 --> 00:15:33,197
KIRBY: Amazing.
420
00:15:33,265 --> 00:15:34,665
CHARLIE: That's
absolutely unreal.
421
00:15:36,035 --> 00:15:37,095
KIRBY (off-screen):
Weird but true.
422
00:15:45,477 --> 00:15:47,507
CHARLIE (off-screen): Next up
Jana is taking us to a cool
423
00:15:47,579 --> 00:15:51,479
urban garden called
The Pie Patch where
she keeps more bees.
424
00:15:51,550 --> 00:15:53,690
When you're heading out with
the founder of Bike A Bee,
425
00:15:53,752 --> 00:15:56,062
there's only one
way to get around.
426
00:15:56,121 --> 00:15:58,791
JANA (off-screen): So this
is my friend's garden.
427
00:15:58,857 --> 00:16:00,757
CHARLIE (off-screen): It's
like a little hidden
treasure in the middle
428
00:16:00,826 --> 00:16:01,826
of the city.
429
00:16:01,894 --> 00:16:03,064
JANA (off-screen): Yes.
430
00:16:03,128 --> 00:16:04,198
CHARLIE: Because we were
biking through houses and city
431
00:16:04,263 --> 00:16:06,373
blocks and when you called
it a farm I was like,
432
00:16:06,432 --> 00:16:07,772
"Ok, we'll, we'll see."
433
00:16:07,833 --> 00:16:09,303
KIRBY (off-screen):
This is a farm!
434
00:16:09,368 --> 00:16:10,398
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Yeah, it's huge!
435
00:16:10,469 --> 00:16:11,839
JANA (off-screen):
This is a real farm.
436
00:16:11,904 --> 00:16:12,844
CHARLIE (off-screen):
And there's so much
stuff growing here.
437
00:16:12,905 --> 00:16:14,265
So how do these guys fit in?
438
00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:17,940
JANA: So bees visit flowers
to gather nectar and pollen.
439
00:16:18,010 --> 00:16:19,680
JANA (off-screen): In their
little brains, they think,
440
00:16:19,745 --> 00:16:21,245
"Oh I'm just getting
a free lunch."
441
00:16:21,313 --> 00:16:26,023
But their hairy bodies are
helping transport pollen from
442
00:16:26,085 --> 00:16:29,685
flower to flower and pollen
helps create new food.
443
00:16:29,755 --> 00:16:32,825
And also honeybees communicate,
for example, when one
444
00:16:32,891 --> 00:16:34,731
worker bee finds
a really good resource for
445
00:16:34,793 --> 00:16:37,633
nectar, she flies back to
her hive and does this thing
446
00:16:37,696 --> 00:16:40,796
called the waggle dance that
communicates to her sisters,
447
00:16:40,866 --> 00:16:43,436
"Hey, this is where
the good stuff is."
448
00:16:43,502 --> 00:16:44,672
KIRBY: That's so cool.
449
00:16:44,737 --> 00:16:45,837
CHARLIE: Communicates
via dance.
450
00:16:45,904 --> 00:16:47,144
JANA: Yeah, like
a dance language.
451
00:16:47,206 --> 00:16:49,336
CHARLIE: Let's look into
that just a bit more closely.
452
00:16:51,677 --> 00:16:54,607
KIRBY: Begin with a
prance to the flower.
453
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,020
And a delicate
return to the hive.
454
00:16:58,083 --> 00:17:01,593
And now we begin
the waggle dance.
455
00:17:04,490 --> 00:17:07,330
Excitedly! More excited!
456
00:17:08,927 --> 00:17:11,127
KIRBY (off-screen):
The dance is done in a
figure eight pattern.
457
00:17:11,196 --> 00:17:13,796
Where in the middle, they
wiggle their behind excitedly.
458
00:17:13,866 --> 00:17:16,696
More excitement!
459
00:17:18,637 --> 00:17:21,367
KIRBY (off-screen): In a hive,
upward means toward the sun.
460
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,340
If a bee dances at an angle,
that is the same angle a
461
00:17:24,410 --> 00:17:27,280
worker bee should fly
away to find the flower.
462
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,350
If the flower is to the
left, they'll dance this way.
463
00:17:31,417 --> 00:17:33,987
If it's to the right,
they'll dance this way.
464
00:17:35,354 --> 00:17:38,564
In order to communicate the
distance of the pollen source
465
00:17:38,624 --> 00:17:42,294
you must adjust the
length of your wiggle.
466
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:45,556
KIRBY (off-screen): If
the flower is close,
467
00:17:45,631 --> 00:17:47,301
they have a short wiggle.
468
00:17:47,366 --> 00:17:50,966
If it's far away they
have a longer wiggle.
469
00:17:52,337 --> 00:17:53,707
It's that easy.
470
00:17:55,107 --> 00:17:57,377
And, moving on!
471
00:17:57,976 --> 00:17:59,576
Flow like the wind.
472
00:17:59,645 --> 00:18:01,605
Out of the hive.
473
00:18:04,183 --> 00:18:07,453
So without these bees here,
this farm would kind of look
474
00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:08,889
like my garden back home.
475
00:18:08,954 --> 00:18:11,794
KIRBY (off-screen): Without and
fruit or anything like that.
476
00:18:11,857 --> 00:18:13,057
JANA: Yeah, kind of sad.
477
00:18:13,125 --> 00:18:14,625
KIRBY: Yeah, really sad.
478
00:18:14,693 --> 00:18:16,633
JANA (off-screen): Yeah,
they play a super important
role in making all
479
00:18:16,695 --> 00:18:18,595
this food grow.
480
00:18:18,664 --> 00:18:19,934
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Before we head out,
481
00:18:19,998 --> 00:18:22,768
Jana gives us a little taste
of what adding bees to Kirby's
482
00:18:22,835 --> 00:18:24,395
garden could do.
483
00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:26,140
CHARLIE (off-screen):
That's super good.
484
00:18:26,205 --> 00:18:28,305
They're delicious, Kirb.
Right there.
485
00:18:28,373 --> 00:18:29,543
KIRBY: This one's falling
apart it's so good.
486
00:18:29,608 --> 00:18:30,878
JANA (off-screen): So good!
487
00:18:30,943 --> 00:18:32,343
KIRBY: Yum!
CHARLIE: That's huge!
488
00:18:32,411 --> 00:18:34,481
Guys, how excellent is this?
489
00:18:34,546 --> 00:18:36,546
They planted these
plants in here,
490
00:18:36,615 --> 00:18:41,585
Jana's bees came flying over,
pollinated the flowers, pick,
491
00:18:41,653 --> 00:18:43,493
right to the mouth.
492
00:18:43,555 --> 00:18:44,955
It's like straight
farm to mouth.
493
00:18:45,023 --> 00:18:46,133
These taste delicious.
494
00:18:46,191 --> 00:18:47,161
KIRBY: So good.
495
00:18:47,226 --> 00:18:48,426
JANA: Oh I know!
I can't stop.
496
00:18:48,494 --> 00:18:49,434
CHARLIE: Thanks so much for
showing us everything today.
497
00:18:49,495 --> 00:18:50,855
It's been absolutely amazing.
498
00:18:50,929 --> 00:18:52,599
You, without a doubt,
have the nicest bees
in the entire world.
499
00:18:52,664 --> 00:18:53,974
JANA: I'll tell
them you said so.
500
00:18:54,032 --> 00:18:55,032
CHARLIE: How you
feeling, Kirb?
501
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:56,200
KIRBY: I'm feeling good.
502
00:18:56,268 --> 00:18:57,468
Ready to get some
bees back home.
503
00:18:57,536 --> 00:18:58,436
CHARLIE (off-screen): Looks
like we got some work to do.
504
00:18:58,504 --> 00:18:59,474
See you later, Jana.
505
00:18:59,538 --> 00:19:00,508
JANA: Bye guys.
KIRBY: Thank you.
506
00:19:00,572 --> 00:19:01,642
JANA: Thank you.
CHARLIE: See you in a bit.
507
00:19:02,474 --> 00:19:03,444
Hey, guys.
508
00:19:03,509 --> 00:19:04,879
KIRBY: Check it out!
Two honeybee hives!
509
00:19:04,943 --> 00:19:07,583
CHARLIE (off-screen): That's
100,000 honeybees!
510
00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:09,676
KIRBY: Go ahead bees,
pollinate my flowers and
511
00:19:09,748 --> 00:19:10,948
bring me fruit!
512
00:19:11,016 --> 00:19:12,316
CHARLIE: Go bees go!
513
00:19:12,384 --> 00:19:13,794
How amazing is this?
514
00:19:13,852 --> 00:19:16,722
Imagine what's going on
in our backyard right now.
515
00:19:16,788 --> 00:19:20,728
In a world of Charlie
and Kirby's backyard.
516
00:19:20,792 --> 00:19:22,062
KIRBY: Oh geez.
517
00:19:22,127 --> 00:19:25,827
CHARLIE: One bee lives amongst
her identical 50,000 sisters.
518
00:19:25,898 --> 00:19:27,298
KIRBY: I guess
we're doing this.
519
00:19:27,366 --> 00:19:30,696
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Until one day she's
promoted to a forager.
520
00:19:30,769 --> 00:19:32,199
KIRBY (off-screen):
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
521
00:19:32,271 --> 00:19:33,841
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Searching for pollen,
522
00:19:33,906 --> 00:19:36,066
she suddenly buzzes
across a flower.
523
00:19:36,141 --> 00:19:38,441
KIRBY (off-screen): Pollen! Yum!
524
00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:43,517
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Pollination complete.
525
00:19:43,582 --> 00:19:44,922
KIRBY (off-screen):
To the hive!
526
00:19:44,983 --> 00:19:47,093
CHARLIE (off-screen): All
that's left is one dance.
527
00:19:47,152 --> 00:19:48,392
One chance.
528
00:19:48,453 --> 00:19:50,063
To show what she's got.
529
00:19:50,122 --> 00:19:51,922
Will the other bees
receive the message?
530
00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:54,030
Was the pollination
successful?
531
00:19:54,092 --> 00:19:57,062
Will this be the greatest
movie of all time?
532
00:19:57,596 --> 00:20:01,566
Find out in: GardenWars: The Last Pollinator ,
533
00:20:01,633 --> 00:20:03,073
a Charlie and
Kirby production.
534
00:20:03,135 --> 00:20:04,765
Roll credits.
535
00:20:04,836 --> 00:20:06,236
Secret teaser at the end.
536
00:20:06,305 --> 00:20:07,565
We make a bajillion dollars.
537
00:20:07,639 --> 00:20:09,269
KIRBY: I mean, I'd see it.
CHARLIE: Boom.
538
00:20:09,341 --> 00:20:12,881
KIRBY: But here's my question.
You need bees to get fruit.
539
00:20:12,945 --> 00:20:14,045
CHARLIE: True.
540
00:20:14,112 --> 00:20:15,882
KIRBY: I have bees here.
CHARLIE: Also true.
541
00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:18,548
KIRBY: But you said that the
bees could travel up to six
542
00:20:18,617 --> 00:20:20,247
miles from the
hive to get pollen?
543
00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:21,589
CHARLIE: Again, true.
544
00:20:21,653 --> 00:20:24,893
KIRBY: So after all this
they still might not
come to my garden?
545
00:20:24,957 --> 00:20:26,357
They might go to
someone else's?
546
00:20:26,425 --> 00:20:27,625
CHARLIE: Yeah.
547
00:20:27,693 --> 00:20:28,993
KIRBY: Well then we gotta
figure out ways to get them
548
00:20:29,061 --> 00:20:31,031
here and pollinate my flowers.
549
00:20:31,096 --> 00:20:33,266
CHARLIE: Ok. I
got a few ideas.
550
00:20:36,101 --> 00:20:37,371
CHARLIE (off-screen): Here's
one thing you can do: plant
551
00:20:37,436 --> 00:20:39,166
flowers with certain colors.
552
00:20:39,238 --> 00:20:42,338
Scientists say bees often have
an easier time identifying
553
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:46,007
pollen in blue, purple,
yellow, and white flowers.
554
00:20:46,078 --> 00:20:48,508
So they're more likely
to attract bees.
555
00:20:49,481 --> 00:20:50,751
Bees also need water.
556
00:20:50,816 --> 00:20:53,216
So put a nice little water
source in your garden.
557
00:20:53,585 --> 00:20:55,315
And be sure to
include some corks.
558
00:20:55,387 --> 00:20:57,357
They act like floaties
for the bees to rest on.
559
00:20:57,422 --> 00:21:00,232
Finally, if you really
want to go to extreme,
560
00:21:00,292 --> 00:21:02,232
you can build a bee hotel.
561
00:21:02,294 --> 00:21:05,064
This is a type of home
that attracts mason bees.
562
00:21:05,130 --> 00:21:07,100
Take a piece of
wood, grab a drill,
563
00:21:07,165 --> 00:21:09,635
and drill a bunch of
holes of different sizes.
564
00:21:09,701 --> 00:21:11,441
They lay their eggs in there.
565
00:21:12,971 --> 00:21:14,211
KIRBY: Boom!
Check it out!
566
00:21:14,273 --> 00:21:17,613
We got blue flowers,
we got purple flowers,
567
00:21:17,676 --> 00:21:23,376
we got a mason bee hotel, and
we've got a water feature with
568
00:21:23,448 --> 00:21:26,148
tiny little floaties that
the bees can hop on and
569
00:21:26,218 --> 00:21:27,718
sip some water from.
570
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:31,218
I officially have
a perfect garden.
571
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:33,290
CHARLIE: And you'll definitely
be able to grow some fruit.
572
00:21:33,358 --> 00:21:35,488
It's only too bad that we're
gonna have to close up shop
573
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,100
when winter rolls around.
574
00:21:37,162 --> 00:21:40,202
KIRBY: Ugh winter.
Charles.
575
00:21:40,265 --> 00:21:42,225
We'll build a greenhouse.
576
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:43,471
CHARLIE: What?
577
00:21:43,535 --> 00:21:44,895
KIRBY: I'm gonna
need my drill.
578
00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:46,940
Where do you think I can
get like a ton of glass?
579
00:21:47,005 --> 00:21:48,805
CHARLIE: Ugh, all right guys
it looks like we got a new
580
00:21:48,874 --> 00:21:50,284
project on our hands.
581
00:21:50,342 --> 00:21:51,212
But thanks so much
for stopping by.
582
00:21:51,276 --> 00:21:53,576
Come by again when we discover
more things that are weird.
583
00:21:53,645 --> 00:21:54,875
KIRBY: But true!
CHARLIE: We'll see
you guys later!
584
00:21:54,946 --> 00:21:56,106
Really, a greenhouse?
KIRBY: Totally.
585
