i love that the captions use british english for the british guests and american english for the american guests
Caption+ pays so much attention to detail, they are the best captions I think I've ever seen.
Unfortunately I am in Australia, and the captions are using the American spelling not the British spelling which is the standard for Australia.
@@brontewcat they're saying within the same episode it depends on the speaker. Not on who's listening.
@@andrewf8366 Ohhh.
I like how the whole conversation for the last minute was about how yellow and black weren't the colors, when yellow was one of the colours.
2:59 Holy shit, I just noticed that when Tom said the word the CCs spelled it 'colours', and then when Bob said it the CCs spelled it 'colors'. That's insane, mad props to whoever did the CCs and their incredible attention to detail.
As a new beekeeper, I got this immediately as I had to mark my two queens green a couple weeks ago.
I love quickly Bob got it from thinking outside of the box. I would have never thought of queen bees.
It took me exactly 1 second. But then I've been a beekeeper.
Strictly speaking, he was thinking ON TOP of the box. XD
@@JelMain Took me about the same amount of time and I'm not a beekeeper. It was just so obviously not going to be royalty and my mind went to the next thing.
When I first heard that question I was thinking about currency being replaced one type of bill at a time.
I considered currency or possibly stamps in some country with a queen.
That was my thought, as well - that British banknotes were going to be cycled out for new ones with King Charles instead of Queen Elizabeth on them, shifting the balance of what colors they were. But when he mentioned that the cycle would repeat, that made it seem less likely to me.
I was sure it would be queens in a deck of playing cards, with a casino swapping out the colors of the backs of the decks so that it's harder to cheat cards in. So in 2024, you'd find the casino using green decks, and anyone who visited last year and is trying to cheat in a red-backed Queen would be unable to do so
Giving people 1 year to get used to the new color seems like a long time. People could go in January 1st, identify the color, and be able to cheat unimpeded for the next 364 days.
It would be slightly more effective if the colors were just random and varied day to day, but even then, it could be circumvented by bringing in one fake card of every color.
I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that, as of the start of 2024, there are no queens reigning over any UN member states (Elizabeth II died in 2022, Beatrix of the Netherlands abdicated in 2013 and Margrethe of Denmark abdicated in 2024). This is the first time since the 1830s that there hasn't been a queen reigning somewhere in Europe. I haven't got the time or inclination today to see if I can go any further back by including the rest of the world.
Although there are, so far as I know, no reigning queens at a national level anywhere in the world, there are a number of monarchies where the next in line is a woman.
What I love the most about this is that it seems to indicate cooperation amongst beekeeper.
Today I have fulfilled a deep desire which I've had for almost a decade. Which is to actually SEE Karen Chu go "Ooooh?!"
Thank you Tom Scott. 😆
Does the Queen just enter the hive or does she have to be buzzed in first?
Oh, booooo :D
Hate to be THAT guy but she actually HAS to be introduced according to a protocol. The hive has to be made accustomed to her smell.
only if its an Air Bee and Bee
@@HotelPapa100 Thank's for being THAT guy, I didn't know that
It's Karen! I've listened to Good Job Brain since episode 3!
I'm a stand-up, and I do a routine about how we still envisage Elizabeth II as "the actual Queen", so thank you for the validation
Similarly, I keep calling the King, King Prince Charles. because I have only ever known him as Prince Charles, so in my brain, that is his name.
Elizabeth living for several decades longer than we expected did kinda break us, huh?
@@Zadster I heard an American talk about the king's English a month ago and immediately mentally corrected to the queen's English. And then I realised, hang on, he's right and I'm wrong.
This is the first question that I knew the answer to straight away
Maybe there IS a white letter in the Google logo... AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE!
It's actually nGoogle but it's a silent, transparent N
You mean the Googlej logo?
It should be a white 'd' on the end and then when you click Search the background goes black so that it appears as 'Googled' above the search results.
Yes! I nailed this one with no prior info other than reading the question, finally!
Being a bit of a beekeeping nerd thanks to CZcams, I got this one right away.
And here I was thinking about Emerald and Sapphire anniversaries.
5:14 - They already have a built-in barcode, silly. 🐝
These are so fun to follow along and try to guess!
Note to Tom ! at 4:49 you mentioned that if a wild queen has flown over you could identify its age by the color of it's spot. Since these color spots are applied by beekeepers a wild queen would not have a spot. The color of the spot helps the beekeeper identify when a queen bee is due for replacement, typically after two years. New queen bees are typically supplied by a bee breeder.
Semantic pedantry - in this sense 'wild' would mean "not a bee of my hives"
Love the prospective fashion choices of Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon.
The queen is huge compared to the other bees. She's not hard to miss and surely doesn't need a dot to ID her.
The solution/answer reminds me of the color coding of twist-ties on things like loafs of bread in grocery stores to denote what day of the week that item was made/delivered (or something like that)
We will we will rock you.
What an interesting system
Another great day of saving the bees.
Bob just carried the whole question.
The colors used are the same colors as the bundle of wires that Harrison Ford needs to splice in order to dump fuel from the plane in Air Force One. Why do I know this?
Heh, knew this one straight off!
As I watched two CZcamsrs who do this, I immediately knew the answer. Which is a rare occurence... ^_^
Both Lateral and Corridor making bee themed videos on the same day? Am I missing a holiday or something?
Knew this one thanks to Scott's Miscellany, a thoroughly enjoyable book series of assorted trivia.
I was thinking license plate registration stickers and the drivers of Queens New York.
I know nothing about beekeeping, EXCEPT the fact that the queen is the one with a brightly colored spot on the back. Didn't know the color encodes the year... that's like moped insurance plates over here? (I know nothing else about mopeds either...)
OK, as a soon to be beek, this one I had during the initial question.
my initial thoughts was "bees or ants?"
When he first said queen bees I thought there could be no way that was the answer. I was thinking it had something to do with their natural colours. I didn't even consider that it was an identifying mark.
Good Job Brain in MY Lateral!?!?
I'm sorry, all I could think of was the fact that it's a date identifying system, like putting stickers on your leftovers in the fridge so you know what day to toss them 😅
HEY, IT'S BOB HAGH!!!
i knew that :)
"On Wednesdays we wear green."
My first thought was drag queens and my second thought was queen bees, so when Tom didn't deny "non-human" I knew that it was queen bees. I couldn't work out the reason though and thought it perhaps had something to do with plant colours.
00:19 this sound like a trick question. those queens are not litteral queens, Am I wrong?
I'm guessing animals, or a trend drag shows?
4:40 bees can be so accepting of the nonsense humans put them through. try to do that to a cat and see how they react!
I was in the right direction, but I didn't specify enough.
how do you put a dot on a bee that doesn't wash off?
It's either water-based paint or even a sticker.
It’s not easy being queen.
I'm terribly sorry, but I have to protest this question. I only recognize one Queen Bee and her name is Beyonce!
So confused about the title , what number?
It's the title of the video before this one, Someone goofed.
What was the original title?
Why does Tom say at the beginning one of the colors is yellow, but then at the end they have a whole conversation about it not being black or yellow?...
Initial thoughts: some playing card deck/game where the suites (clubs, diamond, spade, heart) can also have colours (e.g. german, venetian). And as a rule, the prevalence of a suite (trump and colour) could rotate year to year. So the Queen is the queen that trumps the others.
Oups, thought there were four and not five colours.
I blame Alex for knowing the answer straight away
Technology connections Alex? I don’t remember a bee story in there.
@@JasperJanssenCaptain Disillusion
@@JasperJanssen That is Alec, I am talking about Just Alex, a youtuber who has bees (and recorded from day 0)
Impersonators of Freddie Mercury may be involved.
Ever got the answer in 1 second?
I thought it was going to be about queen Camila wearing colors in a repeating pattern for some nonsense British monarchy tradition. Since she's technically the queen of all commonwealth countries, you could make the argument that she herself is *most queens on earth*.
Only 16 commonwealth countries are monarchies, although that's still a reasonable proportion of all monarchies.
I only clicked this to learn about a number! You tricked me >:(
What was the original title?
