So, I'm a beekeeper and telling your bees when a family member has died is an old practice. It's not exclusive to the Royals at all. You are expected to tell the bees of any major life events in the family especially births and deaths. The practice goes back centuries.
You've caught my interest.
Why is it a thing?
Is it the thinking that it treats them as part of the family, so they'll work harder to make better/more honey, or is it a mystical type of thong?
Got autocorrected.
Though I'd be curious to see a mystical thong as well.
@@stevenclark1662 I believe they thought that if the bees weren't properly informed that all hell would break loose in the colonies. The bees wouldn't produce honey, they would die, or they would leave. Some of the rituals involve knocking on the hive three times to get their attention and informing them of the event. Some have it where you inform the bees at midnight, while other traditions actually drape the bee hive in black so they can take part in the mourning process. There are lots of variations on the origins of the practice as it's truly not known.
@@FreeRangeArtFarm thats so cool. I'd love to have been there to see how that all started!
Thanks for the history lesson
That is so sweet! 🥰🐝🥰
Informing the bees isn't a UK or royal tradition. It's a beekeeping tradition, if their caretaker dies. The idea is that the beekeeper not showing up to care for them might make the bees abandon the hive, so there has to be an explanation for his/her absence.
Good deal. Thanks......😎✌️
You beat me to it. Thank you from an avid apiarist!
Exactly, apart from that who doesn't talk to their animals ! 😍🐕
It is a very important tradition. You beat me to the explanation.
Neat. Might as well let them know, just in case
As a beekeeper myself, Yeah telling bees is a long tradition started in Europe but it’s been traditionally done all over the world. It’s said that you must tell your hives if someone from the family has died or of new birth and major life changes so they wouldn’t unexpectedly die, swarm entirely, or get disease. I didn’t know the Queen had bees. That’s cool.
today i heard a very powerful statement from a UK citizen, who explained why he is willing to wait hours in line for the queen: The Queen served this Country over 70 Years, so it is common sense, that i can wait 5 hours in line to pay her my respect.
Stephen has been a lifesaver for me this year. I’ve been struggling a lot with depression and anxiety and right now I’m in the middle of my first health scare. In the last week I’ve had an endoscopy and a liver biopsy. Thanks to Stephen and everyone at The Late Show for always making me laugh and smile.
I hope you feel better soon.
Oh, honey! That's both of us. I've had to increase my antidepressants. I hope you can laugh away the sadness. Have a blessed night.
Keep laughing it helps. 👍✌️
I feel you. Trump's coup, election fraud, a lack of justice, nazi style race replacement propaganda, russian interference and a corrupt supreme court is giving us all anxiety and depression.

I wish we would extend grace to a man who just lost his mother and immediately traveled through GB and had at the same time carry out all responsibilities required of him as king, including the customs surrounding her funeral
Oh please we all lost mother father friends and sometimes we don't have a job we are sick no money for the Coffin.
Give me a break that Guy Charles is in heaven.
@ann agree
Oh poor old effing king
He's a decent human. He loves gardening and has concern the earth. I think. No more fox hunts Charlie. That is not cool. Seriously.
Edit: this wasn't fair to say bc no idea if he ever hunted a 🦊. I meant it metaphorically. What does it mean to be the King of England in 2022? And I thought he might have a contribution to make. He might well have.
ann Parker are you one of those who only get your education from plastic puppet man Steven Colbert who only targets the easily persuaded? Trumps speaking tonight I'm front of thousands about the 57 pony attempts to get rid of him .
You don’t “slip” into Voldemorts DMs. You slytherin to them…. I’ll just see myself out
As a Brit, I approve of the saying, “Keep calm and oh god, I can’t bear this bloody thing!”
Not a Brit myself, but I'd definitely wear the t-shirt😉
As a non-Brit I do too
Charles has always been a fusspot. I don't care for royalty but I am saddened by the death of the queen and will never think of Charles as king.
Sounded very British to me, as a Brit myself I related to the saying also.
Fountain pens do leak everywhere. Try being a lefty, then you smear the bloody ink every where. A total nightmare to use. I'm on HRH side! Bloody hell innit!
Actually, the monarchy is taxed at a 75% rate. All revenue from the royal estates is given to the Chancery and the monarchy receives 25%. It's the law.
I rarelyparrot something said in the show in these here comments, but Mike Lindell being a "Mentalist trying to read his own mind" cracked me up too freaking hard!
As a Brit, “that is going to cost him some votes” made me laugh out loud.
You do understand how your own country’s political system works don’t you?
The monarch is head of state and figurehead with no power. The parliament and prime minister model has more benefits and more widely adopted across the world than the presidential.
As an American, I've always liked the idea of a monarchy. At least yall don't have to worry about something like J6 happening over there.
@@H1ghland You've completely missed James's point, and I say that as a Brit :)
@@clickrick not at all. can have elected head of state by politicians that is only a figurehead, like Ireland/Germany/Italy etc. but what's the point, no difference from a monarch with zero history behind it

@@LoganRunning Steven Colbert is just a plastic puppet for the Globalist W.E.F. ETC. I bet it's a pain never learning from this puppet.

You lack any ability for critical thinking and are just satisfied to watch the one thing that backs up your weak ideologies and morals....Trump is speaking tonight in front of thousands. The phony FBI raid like the fake Russian collusions from nasty smelly Hillary and pedophile Chuck Schumer did nothing other to bolster Trumps support . Keep up the good work lost liberal. Lmao
The bit about King Charles’ inheritance being tax free is a bit misleading as he doesn’t own it really. It’s referring to the crown estate which is bestowed to a reigning monarch but is not the private property of the monarch. It’s weird but that’s what you get with a thousand year old constitutional monarchy haha.
Also, roughly 75% of the profits from the crown estate go straight to the government (and effectively to the British people) and the monarch gets the remaining 25%. It’s called the sovereign grant and is largely how the monarchy actually funds itself
Exactly, Matt. Thankyou. :-)
Absolutely. And I think some of what the monarch gets runs their personal administration and upkeep of the castles, which are tourist attractions.
Hilarious - Stephen handles his material so well, and somehow extracts the comedic perspective from the most dire situations!

As a Brit I thought the UK monarchy monologue was brilliant. Before anyone gets too ready to belittle the new King though, remember that he was the one that people laughed at 40 years ago for going on about greenhouse gases and climate change.
I always liked Charles for the friendship he had with Spike Milligan. Any future monarch who invites a former WW2 artilleryman to his birthday get-togethers is okay in my book.
yeh, I kinda agree. I mean I think Charles was TOTALLY out of touch with his generation, WAY too "new age" for them to relate to, they wanted a leader with a personality & attitude like his brother Andrew. Fortunately for Charles, "his generation" are now mostly dead or in nursing homes & we are in fact IN the "new age" that he has always been living in, one where his brother's no longer respected for his "boyish charms", but instead is fighting criminal charges, cause of what a misfit he is in "the age of Charles" Charles is perfect for where society is at right now
I like Prince Charles, ppl liked Princess Diana more, however, he should have married who he wanted to, like the rest of us!! Long live the King!!
Yeah but then also factor that he choppers driveable distances, takes private trains and planes regularly, hunts animals he doesn’t eat and tried to shift national healthcare resources to homeopathic pseudoscience. And took a 1 million euro in cash In a suitcase from a Qatari businessman and it’s still not clear WHY. Also has his shoelaces ironed
Nah, we'll always remember him as the guy who wanted to be tampon so he could stay inside Camilla forever....The legend!
The President's Choice joke was a good one, but here in Canada, it's legitimately a HUGE brand. It's the store brand of a national grocery chain and is surprisingly usually pretty decent quality. The image used there was actually a real product 😛
I was curious if it was a real product, and googled it. Was surprised to learn it was real! I like how Colbert replaced the little circle with a pic of Biden 😆
If I’d just lost my Mom and I had to speak in public for a week straight afterwards, I would also lose it if a fountain pen leaked.
Like one of my first pet peeves.
Edward Price
Yes! It shows his 'human-ness'. Amazing family. Decorum, class, modesty, civility...
Many people have no idea what a fountain pen is...
Exactly, he had no time to grieve. I’d have broken down into tears if I wrote the wrong date and my pen started leaking

Well, now I want some biscuits.....😏
@@evandaymon8303: Hardee's breakfast biscuits would make better pillows than Mike's "pillow"
I would cut Charles a little slack over his leaky pen. He just lost his mother, has become King (with all the attendant ceremonies), and has to deal with the pageantry around the funeral. I’m sure he’s under more than a little stress right now. A minor meltdown is quite understandable
"I don't have a computer, everything is on the phone." First, your phone is a computer, and, wouldn't it be kinda difficult to run five corporate empires without a Tandy 1000 TX, at least?

I gotta say, I approve of the investigation focusing on Rudy. He's moved several investigations forward by confessing to things of which he wasn't yet suspected on live television. If you put him under oath and he doesn't incriminate himself within 30 minutes, your next indictment is free.
He's exactly the lawyer T**** deserves!
Yeah Rudy hasn't lied. Name one. Here's a collection of Hillary lying repeatedly about Benghazi and her email, and you frauds all lied by accepting the results of a clearly stolen election.

You’re wrong. The Monarch has paid taxes for years. Queen Elizabeth agreed that the Monarch should pay taxes, after a brush with the Government back in the 1970s, I think. Before that the Monarch made a deal with Government which left them tax-free. If any one is concerned, it can be Googled.
I do feel bad that the royal family can't grieve in peace. Anybody else, you'd chalk up odd or unexpected behavior to grief and you'd leave them be. They get viral videos and billions of judgements.
Yes, yes a monarch in 2022 is crazy 🤣
Almost as crazy as electoral college
A monarch may be crazy in 2022, but the idea of reopening the constitution in Canada to become a republic is even crazier. Good luck trying to get unanimous consent from 10 provinces.
It’s not even related. The British monarch serves at the Will Of The People in the British constitution. Also relate to the reality that the most stable democracies on the planet have monarchies. The USA is an sketchy bunch of dudes to start criticizing Britain.

Telling the Bees isn't a royal protocol, it's a beekeeping protocol. Bees must always be informed when there's a death in the household, whatever the household.
Also it's to another queen, obviously !

Hey there Stephen; LOVE YOUR SHOW! LOVE YOUR HUMOUR! But as you can tell from the spelling of that word - I'm across the pond!
So to clarify for all my beautiful American brothers and sisters:
In the UK 'Inheritance Tax' is paid on the inheritance of properties and estates that are owned by an individual.
The vast majority of the properties and estates that are identified as the late Queen's properties are not actually her property, but part of the 'Crown Estates' the entire revenue of which is paid over to the UK Government for the benefit of all, furthermore, the 'Inheritance Tax' in the UK goes to the 'Crown'. So it's a little bit ridiculous if all that tax ends up where it began!!!
As for the income from the privately owned investment portfolios - King Charles (like his late mother before him) pays exactly the same tax rates as any other citizen of the UK.
"Mentalist trying to read his own mind" got me good.
DOJ Oprah: “You get a subpoena, you get a subpoena, everybody gets a subpoena!”

@@couragekarnga8735 hell id take queen consort camilla over the cheddar wannabe anyday lol
The scene with king Charles nearly loosing it over petty protocol issues when there are real problems to be addressed gave me a level of respect for him I otherwise wouldn't have.
So soon after losing his mother, and amid 1000 unseen protocols
He’s human. And almost all the protocols involve fallible fountain pens.
I wonder how many here have regularly used fountain pens.
He was tired, sad, old and grumpy. I know. He’s like me.😕

I'm not a Royals Super-Fan, but his mother died, he's been put in charge of the emotional well being of a grieving nation, and his damn pen exploded on camera. Cut the guy some slack.
Aren't you the same guy who says "Jail that man's son because his laptop maybe kinda possibly have something vaguely violating good business practices probably?"
Charles looks tired and stressed out.
He must be exhausted.
Plus he’s 70+. I’m not even 35 and I can barely get out of bed. I wish people waited on me though lol
He's a royal. His life is now constantly on display for everyone to witness and judge. Comes with the territory
He needs to pay his taxes.
Charles has stated he'd pay tax on his personal inheritance.. the other things he gets (crowns, castles, artwork) are actually owned by the "Crown" (ie State)..he just gets to use them as King
"Telling the bees" about a death in the family, or a wedding, or any important event for the family is a long tradition amongst beekeepers.

"A wet Narnia with knife crime," is the most hilarious way that I've ever heard anyone describe Britain.
ISTR that Narnia was initially reached by diving in and out of ponds that acted as portals. One of those ponds was reached through a tree that was later turned into a wardrobe as the kid returning from Narnia became the old professor.
We may be concerned about knife crime, but the truth is it's far less prevalent than in the US. And currently half the country's suffering a drought, so that's two more stereotypes debunked.

I am Team Guillotine, but leave Charles alone, he just lost his mom less than a year after he lost his dad. If he's upset about a pen at a stupid thing he has to do *because his just mom died* and now he has to do even more stupid royal shit *because his mom just died*, I do not blame him. Even weird families with weird relationships can feel bad when *people die*.
Yes, even if it's expected and you can take comfort in believing they're together again, some bloody leaky pen can cause stress.
I don’t think it was weird at all. If a camera was on me just on a regular workday I would say way worse stuff than that

I'm sure someone else said this already, but "telling the bees" about a family death is traditional in beekeeping. Supposedly, bees will abandon their hive if they aren't kept up to date on big family changes. The real story is probably "telling the bees" was an excuse for people to go out, be alone and cry under the cover of giving the bees the obituary.
I love this tradition.
‘Wet narnia with knife crime’ 😂 love it 😂
The "royal" beekeeper telling the bees that their owner is dead goes back hundreds, if not thousands of years. It has NOTHING to do with royalty, and everything to do with bees.

I miss Stephen so much that I'm going back to watch some of the old stuff!
Interesting that Stephen describes people queueing "for kilometres", presumably assuming that is how we measure distance in the UK (like the rest of Europe), when we actually use miles just like the USA! Can't blame the fella really, we employ a bizarre mixture of metric and imperial scales depending on what is being measured. Long distance = miles, short distance = metres, cm, mm. Weight of goods/ingredients = kilograms, weight of people = stones (14lbs), lbs and ounces. Fluid = litres, unless it is beer or milk = pints. Height = metres, unless it is height of a person = feet and inches.
Yep, it is truly messed up, and unless you are born into it or seriously acclimatised, you'll probably get it wrong!! The UK is weird.
You can laugh America, but at least we had a smooth transition of power. We kept calm and carried on 🇬🇧💂🇬🇧👑

Oh my goodness- I surprised myself by how hard I laughed about calling Triple AAAAAAAA!!!!!!
"Wet Narnia with knife crime" is my favourite description of Britain.
Hard to see King Charles being toured around to attend service after service, endless public events, speeches so on and ask him to do it straight after his mother has died. Honestly, that looked to me like someone who has just about had his fill of being thrust into in the public gaze when what he wants to do is have a little time to get to grips with not only his personal loss.
I agree. I was surprised when I turned on the tv and saw my King suddenly in Ireland! During his mourning!
Yes watching them being paraded in front of thousands of people who are holding their phones up in the air to video their grief seems cruel to me. I feel incredibly sorry for them all having to do this for 11 days.
To be fair to Charles, that's the second time that he's had a pen problem this week. And his Mum has just fdied, so he's not in the best of moods.
I agree.
When is he ever?
And it's understandable to not know what day it is when you aren't getting much sleep after the death of a family member, basically if you don't get much sleep is all it takes to throw you off when you're older.
Yeah, something people tend to forget in the voyeurism of celebrity lives. I have no love for the royal family and would probably rather have their issues than my own; but damn if I'd lost my mother, had cameras in my face all the time, and then had all these little things going wrong... There's a Nathan Pyle comic about someone saying everything's gone wrong that day but they're fine. And then they can't get the damn paper towel out of the restroom dispenser, and THAT'S what cracks them. Same principle here.

Midsomer Murders first season, first episode we learned clearly that bees MUST be told when the owner dies!
Give it to the props department for detailing both sides of the "chuck buck".
Notifying the bees that their owner or master has passed away is a serious tradition. Its part of the contract farmers make with the creatures they care for.
But she didn’t tend to them. The beekeepers did
Well, it's a considerate gesture, I suppose, but are the farmers aware that bees don't speak English?

As a British citizen who swore allegiance to the monarchy, I must say I am intrigued by what Americans joke about these days... The King is grieving, at the same time performing his duty and putting up a bold face with a lot on his mind... What you saw in that video is an example of that.
Yet, your moral compass never seizes to be mislaid!
This explains why America has been what she has been since 2016 to date... *A Big Joke!*
Let’s see . . . what American democracy would look like if people like Nixon, Bush, Trump and Clinton had to sit down with a left wing green monarch every week. Imagine how much worse things would have been in Britain if Thatcher didn’t have to do that.
Practically all Americans only go to London (as they think that is all of england land) and they always go to Buckingham palace and buy all the souvenirs 😂😂. Morons
I am not American or from the UK, but I offer my most sincere condolences and I also can’t understand why Americans find the death of the HM the queen and the death of Russian soldiers funny
Are you going to sen help? We are not OK.
Speaking as a Brit, "A wet Narnia with knife crime" is such a great description of Britain.
The tradition of telling the bees when someone in the family dies is actually really beautiful. There's a gorgeous song by the band Big Big Train about it, called (fittingly), "Telling the Bees".
Traditions are lost to most of us. Telling the bees is awesome. Including mother nature and all
There are many lovely paintings about this also
Yea but I doubt she’s tending to them. The beekeepers are
@@21972012145525 I notice a lot of people taking this way too literally. The queen might not have been taking care of them, but in a way she's still a part of people's lives. I encourage you and everyone to read more about it. Of course it seems silly to our modern sensibilities, but it's the sentiment behind it that's really lovely.
@@21972012145525 if she walked the gardens, bees were familiar with her.
The Bees must be told when the bee-master dies (a seemingly world-wide tradition that goes back 1000s of years!) And the Queen must be told that a Queen has passed. 'Tell the bees; if someone's died and another one cried and someone's being born.' I've been told bees like to hear about weddings, but that may have been the neighbor pulling my leg. He did teach me how not to get stung. BEEEE polite.
But I doubt she was tending to them. The beekeepers would’ve
@@21972012145525 She may have visited them. She loved her horses and dogs, I bet she visited her bees as well.
@@21972012145525 The official Royal Beekeeper, very important (perhaps stuffy) role, normally.
@@christinebenson518 It'd make sense that she'd do it on occasion. A tradition that probably started off with one monarch or other telling the staff, 'Well, lads, I'll be nipping off down to the hives. Might be late, don't wait up...' and he/she would come back sticky and smiling. But doubtless it turned into a big formal ritual. And the queen wouldn't get sticky at all. (Just extrapolating, here.)
It's a much more general tradition. Just tell the bees the big news. doesn't hurt, does it?
It is a very old tradition dating back many centuries that hive bees should be kept informed of major life events; births, marriages, illness, deaths etc. or bad things may happen with one's bees. The practice has been followed in Britain, France, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, and other countries in Europe. Not surprisingly it was also followed in the US; a quote from Wikipedia; "One description from the Carolina mountains in the United States says that "You knock on each hive, and say, 'Lucy is dead.'"
In parts of Germany newly-married couples would introduce themselves to the bees to avoid misfortunes.
If a beekeeper dies the bees are informed and given some of the food from the funeral.
I generally love the Colbert Report, and in general am not a fan of the royal family, however seeing King Charles freak out about a pen, in the context of it being a few days after his mothers death, reminded me of how unbalancing grief is. I’ll give Charles a pass on that one.
In general Steven is able to be very funny while also being kind, and would love to see this kind of context considered going forward
Yowza what an opening! I hope that these charges and arrests and investigations bear fruit because the only way we are going to heal is getting rid of the rot

I know its for comedic purposes, but, lets remember Prince/King Charles (whatever he is, I dont keep up nor pretend to) is still in greiving and having to do all this shit. So, even the smallest annoyances could be large emotional outbursts. I mean, i can't imagine coping with the loss of my mother and having to do all these silly traditions or obligations in other countries everywhere and in a timely manner, while I was still in shock/greiving my dead mother.
When my mother died, it was hard enough to even get out of bed. i can't imagine being forced to have to do all this shit.
The lying in state of Pope John Paul II was really beautiful and man the diversity and the tears were just rampant. I think his, and Elizabeths, post-mortem mourning periods are very similair. Longest Pope Longest Monarch and both have citizens directly but also indirect fans from all over the world. The Pope does not have a royal bee keeper, the adjective is papal, and yes there is one. They have bees at his summer residence, castle Gandolfo. Castel Gandolfo (Italian).
Hang on… The President pardons a turkey each year in a “quirky” ceremony at the Whitehouse…😉
Fortunately your whole country doesn't spend 10 days over it. There are people waiting vital operations that are having them cancelled on Monday because it is her funeral.
@@nlwilson4892
At least we don't have to go bankrupt having those operations 👍🇬🇧
@@jimmyh6601 True, but comparing us with one of the worst health systems on the planet doesn't mean ours is good. People could die as a result of cancelled treatments just because of the death of one very elderly woman.
@@nlwilson4892 Urgent treatments aren’t cancelled due to the funeral. But many were cancelled during the pandemic.
@@cra2y8a8y Not emergency treatments no, but still treatments for things that are getting worse where the medical outcome may be affected by delays. Treatments were cancelled during the pandemic because the NHS didn't have the capacity to deal with them, that is an entirely different set of circumstances.
The King does pay taxes, not inherentice tax but he does. Also the Queen and now the King is the Monarchy of UK, but also Canada, Australia, and 15 other countries. All our money will change.
The money won't be withdrawn, it will stay in circulation until it gets damaged. In the UK we've just had all our money converted to plastic notes. So it will be about 4 years before Charles' face starts appearing on £5 notes and longer for the higher denomination.
Wet Narnia with knife crime is a criminally underrated joke 😂
It’s actually insensitive to the recent killing of ten people at the James Smith Reserve. Which is also the actual last political communication of Elizabeth 11. She sent a letter of response and support to James Smith the day before she died. Copies of these letters go to the Commonwealth.
Poor Charles, he's stressed because his Mummy has died. Have a heart.
Charles losing his cool stems from his father's often frustration with many things that were quite hilarious. It's always the small things that trigger a reaction never the serious stuff
Only complete prima donnas react that way!
It could also stem from just having lost his mom. Colbert is usually on the button, but this was tactless, tasteless and plain wrong.
I think it’s important to remember that he’s an old man who lost his mother and has had no time or privacy to grieve, he wrote the wrong date on a probably very important document, then the pen leaked all over. I’d have throw the pen at the wall personally
Agree. Couldn't they've found a pen that didn't leak?!?

As a Brit I`m pleased we could provide some humour to our colonial cousins lives with the passing of our Monarch. It will provide a welcome respite from your Judicial and political problems. ( Who on earth thought it was a good idea for politicians to pick the judiciary ffs).

There are some traditions we still seem to agree on here, and if we can't do politics or religious holidays without fighting, it's just down to Groundhog Day and not dealing with Daylight Saving that's holding the US together. Can't even agree about who should be on the 20 dollar bill. 🙄
Only difference is, the American taxpayers ain't paying the rodent and their entire family hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
@@toadjiang7626 nah, there’s another difference and it’s truly very American 😉
Funny. Midsummer Murders had an episode where they warned the bees in the hive that their keeper had passed. Even weirder, there's a CZcams video of a beekeeper's funeral where his bees swarmed over the gravesite at his funeral.
Telling the hive about a death in the family is a tradition amongst those that keep bees.
