On our first animal episode of What the Heck is in my Garden? We in investigate the rather debaucherous life of one of the world’s most popular insects; the honey bee. We’ll take a look into the antics of the hive, royal hierarchy and the roles each bee has.But we’ll also check up on what the Queen gets up to on her first night out on the town and answer the ever-present question; can a bee hold its liquor?

All this and more on what makes our first animal and bee episode of What the Heck is in my Garden?
