So How Clever Are Bees Anyway?

More bee based laughs with Rob Beckett. This week we're finding out whether bees are clever. With comedian Travis Jay and bee expert Gill Perkins.

David Attenborough is saving the planet, Brian May is saving badgers, now Comedian Rob Beckett is saving the bees. With help from comedy friends and proper bee experts. This week bee expert Gill Perkins tells Rob all about bumblebees. She insists they’re the fuzziest, cuddliest of all the bees – and that they are really clever. Find out if bees would make a good five-a-side football team, whether they can turn corners like Lewis Hamilton, and hear from the scientist who performs fecal transplants on bees. Comedian Travis Jay wants to know if you can be friends with a bee – and questions whether Rob has learned anything at all about bees so far.
