What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOkay, the one we teased: the royal beehives at King Charles and Queen Camilla's homes produce hundreds of jars of honey every year, and the Queen's own honey is separate.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHundreds of jars, Hank, from bees on the royal payroll, and I would like to meet the one in charge of quality control.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBees are dying across the world, and the palace has hundreds of jars. Either the royals are brilliant or the bees are hiding something.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe report doesn't say anything is wrong with the bees, Dale.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt doesn't say they're fine either.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorRemember, this couple was caught kissing on camera this afternoon, and a palace that suddenly gets sweet is a palace that wants something.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOh, I love that. A kiss in the afternoon, honey by evening. It's a whole romantic arc.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwo jars, two owners. The Queen keeps hers, the King keeps his, and neither of them is sharing a label.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTwenty-one years married, and they still have separate honey. That is the most British thing I have ever heard.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSeparate honey?
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWhose honey is whose, Chip. That was the question I teased. Nobody is going to like the answer, including the bees.
