About Beekeepers: Thousands of stings, breeding Queens, and David Beckham's unrealistic hives

Happy New Year to you all, we hope you had a wonderful festive period full of fun and Valencia ice lollies... we know Joe did. We kick off 2024 with a belter, where we are joined by Emma the Beekeeper, who flew over from Northern Ireland to tell us about every different type of bee, how they elect a queen and the many times she has been stung in the face. She also tells us about a giant bee nightclub in the sky, and why David Beckhams hives aren't very realistic... it's a fascinating chat.
