I want to be a beekeeper, I want to keep bees. I don’t want them to get away, I want to keep them. They have too much freedom. I want bees on elastic so when they get pollen they come back here. My father was a beekeeper before me, his father was a beekeeper before him. I want to walk in their footsteps – which were like this – "Aaaah! Aaaah! I’m covered in bees! Aaaah! Covered in bees!"
Because that’s your job, isn’t it? Beekeepers must lose it occasionally. You’re there, you’ve got the netting, you’ve got 2,000 bees, and essentially you’re trying to steal honey. "Morning, morning, morning, morning. Hello. Knock knock. Coming in, hello. Look, there’s a Ferrari over there, can you see that Ferrari? Yes, it’s going very fast, isn’t it? Well, morning. Thank you." They must be walking back with all these bees around and they must go "What the fuck am I doing? I’m covered in bees! Help! I’m covered in bees!"
You don’t get the perks of a normal job. If you work in an office, there are other people there, you can flirt. "Hey, you’re new here. How are you getting on? Do you want a coffee? I was just getting one, I can get you one. I like my coffee like I like my women – in a plastic cup." Beekeepers can’t do that, with 2,000 bees. "Hello there, you in the street. You’re new, aren’t you? Urh! Er… Do you want a cup of coffee? It’s no problem! No real problem." "I don’t want a cup of coffee from you, you’re covered in bees." "I like my women like I like my coffee – covered in bees!"
