Poor beekeepers! They do suffer so. If they want some honey, they can't just go to the supermarket like you or I. Oh no, they have to get dressed up in their Klan costume, and go out and smoke some bees until the bees get drowsy, then moonwalk in and get some honey (no sudden moves, mark you).
So,
following on from MoomCorp's highly successful (ahem) Ant Control Collars (Similar to As Seen on TV!), we have a simple development - Bee Control Collars! Following the same basic principle, each bee is fitted with a little magnetic collar - light enough that they can still perform what we laughingly refer to as 'flying', but magnetic enough that... well, that the idea works, okay?
Then, a few big electromagnets are fitted in the vicinity of the bee hutch. Now, our friendly beekeep can simply flick a switch, and all the bees are dragged to the magnet! Then he can stroll in, get the honey, and stroll off again licking his chops.
Of course, the bees will be plenty mad, so it's a good idea to make sure you're a long way away before you turn off those magnets.
