1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Jump mission with Jones and Amanda. I've got a bee update.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: You know now that I and I am a bee keeper.

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: I don't think you're a bee keeper.

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: Well, I have a beehive in my gardeners. They're native

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Australian bees.

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're not a full on bees. They're not

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: like your stereotypical.

8
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: Well, no, they're not. And that's what's great about them.

9
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: They don't. They're stingless, so they can be around your kids.

10
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: They can, you know, you can have them in your face.

11
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: They're stingless bees. But they produce the most delicious honey.

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: This isn't you trying to get this beard of bees

13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: thing going.

14
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Look, there's a lot of things about bees to like,

15
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: one of which is you can make a beard with them.

16
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can make it with these ones,

17
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: because they're smaller. These the size they're the size of

18
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: a small spider or a big blowfly. They're quite small,

19
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: these bees. But you know, I'm obsessed with doing a

20
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: beard of bees. And you never let me.

21
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: Give us world record for a beard of bees. Just

22
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: so you know, and mean I've said this to you

23
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: a million times. Is sixty kilograms.

24
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: I'd wear it's sitting down.

25
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: Yes, you have no choice. You have to actually have

26
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: a support. You've got to build infrastructure. It's sixty kilograms

27
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: of bees. Have you lifted sixty kilograms? Can you even

28
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: lift sixty I don't.

29
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: Have to lift. It's on my face. I've probably got

30
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: that amount of hair in my armpits and I manage.

31
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: But let me tell you, bees are remarkable and this

32
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: is just starting to come to light. I've mentioned this

33
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: before on the show. Bees can tell the time they

34
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: should be doing a breakfast show. I've already given you

35
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: that information.

36
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: Thank you.

37
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: What about this? Dutch scientists are teaching bees to detect covid.

38
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: Bees have extremely sensitive olfactory receptors and this ability makes

39
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: them ideal for the detection of volatile organic compounds, so

40
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: you can train them to detect anything. What they do

41
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: is they use water solution as a reward. Scientists are

42
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: able to train the bees to detect positive samples of coronavirus.

43
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: So you know how you hear stories of cats in

44
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: nursing homes, and you know the cat will get onto

45
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: someone's bed and the next day Beryl's gone. If you're

46
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: followed by us, if it's followed by a swarm of

47
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: bees get a COVID test. But have you seen this

48
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: new thing? Millions of people have viewed this online. It's extraordinary, unbelievable,

49
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: if I may say so. Two bees unscrewing the lid

50
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: of a bottle of fanter I have seen. One bee

51
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: is on one side, one's on the other side, and

52
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: using teamwork, they unscrew the lid. Extraordinary, isn't it.

53
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're amazing. They're very smart creatures. They kept away

54
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: from the coconut water as well.

55
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: That's right, well they went for the sugar. But they

56
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: are extraordinary. And I like to think that I'm ahead

57
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: of the curve. So when our new leaders overtake us

58
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: China bees and they will, I will be on their side. Also,

59
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: if you want to open a bottle of fan to

60
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: come around to my place and see they might be

61
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: able to help.

62
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 2: You if you've got to spare five hours.

63
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: There's eight thousand of them. Jonesy and Amanda's
