Bee Cups for thirsty pollinators

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, everybody. Welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm Ron Wilson, and you are in the garden here
on news radio six to ten WTVN, A two to
one WTVN eight under six to ten WTVN, talking about
yarning on this Saturday before Christmas.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Can you believe that?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I can't? You know, a few days away. We're way behind.
I'll tell you that right now. We got a little
sick here about three weeks ago, that respiratory thing, and boy,
that put us behind. But we'll catch up. We'll get there.
Hopefully you'll get there as well, you know, if or
hopefully you're already there and you're all ready to go
and be able to enjoy the weekend, so good for you.

(00:33):
In the meantime, we're gonna be talking yarding for the
next couple hours, as we always do on Saturday morning,
and I'd like to kick it off with a kind
of an interesting little thing that I found.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
I was going through a.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Magazine about a month ago and I saw this, I
don't know if it was an add or an article
about this very interesting way to provide water for your bees,
and they're called b cups. I said, that's pretty cool
and got to went on their website and checked it out.
It's bedashcups dot com. And I went on the website

(01:09):
and started looking and reading the story about it, and
pretty interesting story and pretty interesting products. So I ordered
some and I got them and they are really cool.
So I said, Hey, Jen Rose, who was the creator
of all this and she makes these. I said, would
you come on the show and talk about b cups?
And she said absolutely, I would love to. She's out

(01:29):
in Dallas, Texas, and guess what she's with us this morning.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Good morning, Hi Ron, Good.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
To have you on the show this morning. So all right,
let's get started. First of all, tell folks a little
bit about yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Well, I call myself an ecological artist. I've been an
exhibiting artists working in Portsland for about twenty years, and
I taught in higher ed. I ran the ceramics program
at a two year college here in Dallas, and so
that's kind of my background. I've been passionate about the environment,

(02:06):
passionate about making things that are beautiful, and so the
two kind of came together with beacups.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
All right, so are you a beekeeper?

Speaker 3 (02:16):
No? You know what, I went to a class and
I learned about it and I thought that sounds really hard,
so I didn't do it. I just invented something instead.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well that sounds good. If it's really hard, does invest
something different? So and you know what I have. You're right,
it's a lot of work. And that's why we always
say make sure you support your local beekeepers because they
spend a lot of time and a lot of effort
and the ups and downs and all that. So it's tough.
But you're right. So I like what you came up.
So you said, okay, so I'm not going to be

(02:48):
a beekeeper, but I've got this idea. So I mean,
where did where the thought about providing water for the
bees and creating what you created? I mean, is that
just somebody suggestion just that or you just started thinking
about what can I do to help? Or how'd that
come about?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
You know?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
It kind of came together during the pandemic. So I
when I would teach my sculpture classes, I would have
all this sculpture that I would take home and I
would put outside in my garden. And I noticed when
I was home during the pandemic that insects would come
and drink out of the tops of the like the

(03:30):
little like after it rained, you know, if there was
water left over, bees and butterflies would come and drink
off the sculptures. And so I started wondering if I
could make something that the insects would actually interact with.
And I found that kind of entertaining, like if I
made something made art for the insects, And so that's
where the that's where the idea came from. And at

(03:51):
the time, I really didn't know that pollinators needed water.
I was kind of you know, I hadn't done any research,
and so learning all about bees and butterflies and taking
a deep dive into what they really need to survive
in their anatomy. We did a lot of research into

(04:14):
like do bees have feet and so yes, they have
like little hooks on their back legs that they used
to hang on to things. So we put texture on
the cups. So there was a lot of thought that
went into it to make it actually beneficial and not
a little death trap where bees and butterflies could drown
in the in the bee cup.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
So did you go through several prototypes? I mean I
ordered them. As a matter of fact, I have one
of your sets in my hand right now. Did you
go through a lot of different prototypes. How did you
come up with this final design?

Speaker 3 (04:49):
We did. We went through several prototypes kind of you know,
I was always thinking about economy as well, like what
could we make that was quick to make but also beneficial.
As an artist, I like to make things in multiple
so I would make like a thousands of things. So

(05:09):
it had to be it had to check that box.
But yes, the final prototype that we ended on has
the ultraviolet glaze on the inside of the cups. And
I developed a glaze based on my background in glaze
chemistry that is UV reactive. So bees and butterflies c

(05:34):
and UV colors, and flowers have ultraviolet colors and patterns
that tell them where the good stuff is, like where
the nectar is, and where to find what they need.
So by putting those ultraviolet colors on the inside of
the b cups, it lets them know that something's there
for them. They're more attracted to it, and it even

(05:55):
you know, it just simply attracts more pollinators to your garden.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah. And if you go to the website again, it's
be dash cups dot com. Uh, You've got a great
illustrative picture in there that what we see, and then
what the bees and the pollinators see.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
M hm, yes, which is totally different.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
It is totally different. And I know I'm a big nerd,
but I find that so oh yeah, there's so many
colors that we're missing out on because we don't have
the right We don't have the right eyeballs.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
You maybe laugh on that. Yeah, you're right, we don't
have the right eyeballs. So I describe these to people
as I've been trying to tell folks about them, as
they look like a golf tea on steroids.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah, yeah, that's right, and and in fact we get uh,
that's what people say on social media, and so I
finally put up a photo of golf teas next to
a photo or next to our product. But yes, there're
much bigger. They hold, you know. The cup at the
top holds about a peace soon of water, and I

(07:08):
made it that way because we don't want mosquitoes. And
in most environments the water will evaporate by the end
of the day right from that little that little cup
at the top, and anymore it'll hold hold water too long.
Mosquitoes need about three days and about twice that much

(07:29):
water to breed, So so that was pretty intentional to
make it so small, almost almost a golf teeth, but
a little bit bigger so that it can really be beneficial.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
And of course then we take these and then put
them either in the ground around our plants or into containers,
you know, and then again as we're watering or as
the rainfall comes down, we fill those up and just
do it every day and you're good to go. And
I noticed even the ultra violet that you that the
shiny that's on the inside there isn't at the very top,

(08:03):
so it's still, you know, of course enough that they
can hang on to the top and not slide into
the cup.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
That I tell you what.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
I looked at this and I kept thinking, wow, so
how'd you come up with all of this? But now
I realize how you worked your way through this. This
is unbelievable. I think it's really cool. Let's take a
quick break, we come back. We'll learn more about b
cups for thirsty pollinators. Go to their website. It's bee
dash cups dot com. More with Genrosan b cups. Here

(08:30):
in the Garden with Ron Wilson on news radio six
to ten WTV in Talking you Yardening here on news
radio six y ten WTV and our special guest this morning,
Jen Rose, and I'll tell you what she has developed.
One of the coolest things so you can provide water
for your thirsty pollinators are called b cups and they
go to the website check it out. It's b dash
cups dot com. They are really cool and they are

(08:52):
on the inside of it. They have this UV reactive
glaze that mimics how flowers to tract pollinators, which is absolutely,
really really cool and they're cool looking. And you can
even buy a b cup bar where you can put
them on top of that and put them on a
table I would imagine, and what's the pollinators come and
drink right on the table, that's right, or have a drink.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
With you.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Exactly. Yeah, that's the perfect thing for a lot of
people don't have yards. If you're young and you have
an apartment, you know it's out on the balcony and
that's a perfect solution for that.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Now you have all other products as well. And one
of my thought was pretty cool and was your pick
of the top ten is your be nurseries that you've
now developed.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yes, I am so excited about being nursery. So with
the B cups we get pollinators that are native and
honey bees, so both of them are important, but we
also need to help those native bee populations which are
really in decline. And most of the native bees do
not live and hives like honey bees do. They live

(10:03):
in hollow tubes or stems, and since we use pesticides,
most of those tubes and stems have are not good
homes for them. So we can support them by using
the B nurseries.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
So how do we And these are made out of
again the porcelain.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yes, yes, they're made out of porcelain, which if you
see bee houses or b hotels, usually they're made out
of bamboo. And that's not great simply because after year
after year they build up with molds and they can't
be sterilized, so you have to kind of throw the
whole thing away after each season. And the B nurseries

(10:45):
are perfect because they can be boiled after each generation
of bees and then you don't worry about like doing
more harm than good with them. You don't contaminate them.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Cool. Yeah, I look pretty pretty interesting. As a matter
of fact, when I saw your picture of you holding one, there,
I thought you were chewing on it.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah, they look like candy.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
It looks like a piece of candy.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, we're we're a zebra, a waste facility. So we
take all of the becups that we can't sell and
we crush those down and then we use that to
decorate the outside of the b nursery.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Unbelievable again. Check out their website. It's really cool. It's
b dash cups dot Com. And you know what's interesting,
I got to ask how many of these things you make?
Because I saw this in a magazine I read up
on it came to your website. Then I'm at home
and one of my favorite little magazine shows up, catalogs.
I love it, Uncommon Goods. They have the coolest stuff
in there. And all of a sudden, I'm leaving through

(11:46):
a couple of weeks ago and there are the b Cups.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah, we we love Uncommon Goods. They were my favorite
magazine for a long time. I look forward to the
Christmas edition every year and I'm just so honored that
I'm able to sell be cups through them. It's really exciting.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
So I got to ask you. I know your guys
are probably going crazy this time of the year, trying
to feel fulfill all the Christmas orders, and I'm glad
I got mine just in time. But how many be
cups you guys going through?

Speaker 3 (12:20):
That's a great question. We gosh, I haven't done all
the math recently, but we you know, on AOD on
a good week in the in the spring, when we're
really busy, we'll sell about seven hundred and fifty units
and we'll be sold out in twenty four hours. And
then we just takes this a week to make more

(12:42):
because all of them are handmade, so it takes us
about a week to make more. So than we we
ramp up and we put them back on the website
and they sell out immediately.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
So they're all handmade.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Of course, you've got your staff there of young artists
that are doing this as well to help you out,
so they are all handmade. They are really cool. I
love the colors. I love the way this little holder
that you have them in when you ship them. Uh
is great. The whole process was outstanding, was very simple.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Uh. I love it.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
I again, when I saw it in uncommon Goods, I
just like, WHOA, you got to be kidding me? Cool stuff?
This is great. I I the idea. I look at
something like that, going no, why didn't I think of something.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Like that, and it's, uh, yeah, I don't know. I
don't know how I came up with it. It was
just little little baby steps and it ended up being
something really, really fun and really beneficial.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
I got a funny I got a funny feeling. If
somebody's interested in these for Christmas.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Probably too late for that, right, We will get it
backed as soon as possible. But we do offer a
gift card, so you can with your gift card ready
for your your lost ones and uh give them the
gift to be cups without the actual product with you.
But we were getting orders in yesterday and turning around

(14:05):
and packaging in them the same day, so we're really
trying to get everything out in time.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Outstanding again. They're called B Cups for thirsty pollinators. Plus
they have the B nurseries if you're interested in doing
that for the native bees that put those out in
the springtime, and of course we talk about the native
bees on our show as well. Great way to go.
You know, I thought it was funny as I printed
all this out, you had to put on there the
fact that the B cups have a pointed end so

(14:31):
handle as you would other sharp objects.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, they you know, it's not like a knife, but
it is like I can imagine it would be pokey
if you if you fell on it.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
So yeah, I just think it's interesting. You had to
put that, you know, have to put that kind of
herbiage in there. Obviously that's what they're for. But you know, anyway,
I love them. I think it's absolutely outstanding. I think
it's a really cool thing. And you know, we don't
think about providing water for those pollinator but this is
a great way to do it. It's very attractive and
the way it works is outstanding. Check it out. It's

(15:05):
b dashcups dot com. Genros, thanks for getting up early
this morning and talking with us about this. We really
appreciate it. Great product. I thank you so much for
doing this.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Well, thank you so much, Ron, And I just want
to say real quick before I go that we've been
copied a lot from people selling plastic versions of our products,
so please make sure you go to our website. We
don't sell on Amazon, we don't sell on Walmart dot com,
or on eBay or on timing. So I just want
to direct people to the right spot or they'll get

(15:40):
some some sort of plastic version that's not great for
the environment, and.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
We don't want that.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
You want these, so again it's b dashcups dot Com
and go from there. Genros, thank you so much. Appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
I appreciate it to you.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Thanks Ron, all right, take care again. There're b cups.
I thought the whole thing is pretty cool. But if
you go to the website and check out how this
glaze changes the colors of what they see, and she's
got a picture of so you can understand what the
what the pollinators and the bees are seeing to attract
them to these. And again they you know, to fall
in there and drown not an issue. They dry out

(16:19):
in the day. I mean, she thought this thing through
and they're really cool and you can put them around
your plants. You can put them on a table, put
them on the bar if you're outside with the bar
and have the bees that have a few drinks with you,
or put them in your containers.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Whatever it may be.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
But this is a great way to do it. It's
cute and it's a great gift. They're called b cups
for thirsty pollinators. B dash cups dot Com quick break,
we come back. The phone lines are open for you
at eight two to one WTVN. Coming up at the
top of the hour. Believe it or not, the Queen
Bee Barbie Bletcher will be with us. We'll see what
she thinks about these b cups as well. Here on

(16:53):
news radio six to ten WTVN eight two to one,
WTVN eight hundred and sixty ten WTVN talk the ardening
Bucks play tonight. I'm excited.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
At home.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
It's kind of cool. Playoff game and home. Yeah, I
think it's pretty cool. We'll see what happens. It's gonna
be a tough game. I don't think it's gonna be
a cakewalk for them. We'll see what happens again, Like
is that the third time I've said that we will,
but all excited. I don't know about you go Bucks.
You know last week we had by the way, that's
b cups b Ee dash cups dot com. And even

(17:30):
if you don't, you don't have to order. But if
you go look at it, it's pretty cool. And look
at the way she came up with it, uh, and
look at the way it works. It's it's a very
interesting but it's one of those things you know, we
rarely have ever talked about, and that's providing uh water
for the pollinators, you know. And I used to as
a matter of fact, I used to make a butterfly

(17:50):
bar out of sand and rocks and water, uh in
this butterfly planter that I did in a container, and
it had butterfly plants in it and all that, but
it had a saucer in the middle that had a
rock and then the sandbar, and so the butterflies could
land and still drink water. But it had a place
for them to perch and made it easy for them.

(18:12):
And you know, I get sometimes, and I've gone to
Barbie Bletcher about this. Sometimes you get folks that'll say,
you know, I've got a pond, like an ornamental pond,
fish pond, and our next door neighbor, somebody down the
street has beehives, and every now and then, all of
a sudden, I go out and you know, there's a
ton of bees that have drowned in my pond. And
obviously during a dry time, they're looking for water and

(18:34):
they fall in and they drown. Well, these bee cups
are made so that they can't do that you fall in,
they could turn right around and get right back out
of them again and they dry out within the day.
So it's not a mosquito issue, but just well designed.
And I sometimes I look at stuff like that, say, now,
why did I think of that? You know, you kind
of knock yourself and ahead a little bit, why did
I think of that? But a great idea, and be

(18:56):
sure check it out, just to just to look at it,
just to see it's bee that cups dot com. Doctor
Alan Armidage was on with us last week and we
were talking about perennials and all, and I brought up
the thing about Christmas Rose. Heliboris niger, which flowers about
now in our gardens, is the early bloomer in the

(19:16):
in the Helliboris family, and Helibors becoming more and more
popular all the time, especially in shade gardens. And this
is one plant. You know, me, I've gotten away from
the deer resistant verbiage and more of a low browse
because there aren't too many plants out there that are
truly dear resistant. This is one that I have never

(19:38):
ever had a report of deer browsing on them, but
you never know. Somewhere down the road, but heliboris definitely,
it's at the bottom of the list for deer's favorite food.
But anyway, a great plant, doctor Armerdes loves them. And again,
and there's so many great varieties coming along today, and
you'll see more and more of them the local garden

(20:00):
centers as time goes along. But the particular when the
nyger species flowers earlier. And if you recall many years ago,
several years ago, Mark fort Meyer from fort Meyer and
Sons Greenhouses started growing the jacob I think it was
a jacob, the white variety in containers pots foiled to

(20:22):
be sold at the holiday season, along with the ponsetias
and the Christmas cactus and all of those. And it's
a great plan and you still see it out there.
It just hasn't really bitten into that taking a good
bite into that holiday plant, you know, for with like
along with points set as and all.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
But it's really cool.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
And I tried them a couple of the first couple
of years that he was doing this, and I found
out right away they have to have a you know,
fairly well led area inside, keep it cooler, and only
keep them in for two to three weeks and then
get him out, and a couple of ways you know,
you could take them out. And the first time I
did it, I just took it out and planted it
in the garden, kind of muched out, but it did
come back the next year. But I think you had

(21:02):
better results by acclimating them in the unheated garage or
shed for a week or two and then put them
in the in the ground, assuming it's not too cold.
If it's really nasty outside, I'd probably leave them in
an unheated shed or garage by a window and overwinter
them that way, and then get them in the springtime
as soon as you can get them in the ground,
get them plan and go from there. But I had

(21:24):
lots several people that asked this week about, you know,
how do we get this thing to make sure it lives,
because they're usually fairly expensive. And that's what I would do.
Like I said, I had some success the first time,
but I know folks that did not have success putting
it straight into the garden. Se you've got to acclimate
it before you go back out or just overwinter it.
And I'll tell you a good place to do that

(21:44):
that it gets good light would be in a cold
frame or in a window well, because you've got plenty
of light in that down in that window well, but
you know it's protected. It's down in the ground, watered
a couple of times, you know, in the January and February.
Otherwise it would pull it back out in March or sometime.
Get it planted in the ground and then go from there.
But I've also made that our plant of the week

(22:06):
this week on our website at Ron Wilson online dot com,
so you can be sure and check that out. Quick break,
we come back, go we'll continue talking about yard and
got lots of tips to share with you. Got an
update from Dick's tomatoes. You remember tomato Dick. Someone sent
me some pictures and I'll talk to you about that.
Kind of sad and lots more to share with you
as well as a matter of fact, a book somebody

(22:26):
was asking about and I've got a title for that
for you too, A two to one WTVN. Here on
news Radio six to ten WTVN. Can you believe we
are the weekend before Christmas? I cannot, but you know
it comes in a hurry, and then next week we'll
be talking about New Year's and then the following week
we'll be talking about twenty twenty five and all the
great gardening trends and things that are going on. It's
kind of interesting to take a look at all the

(22:47):
research that's been done and all the trends that they're
seeing out there for twenty twenty five. We'll go over those,
and I think that a lot of these they've hit
right on the head, no doubt about it. Had a
caller during the break didn't want to go on the air,
said if you want to provide water naturally for those
pollinators and birds as well and the tree frogs. I
think he included the cup plant or the Indian cup plant,

(23:10):
and we featured that several times as far as our
Plant of the Week during the summer. It's in the
Astor family, Astacia family, and it's a big perennial. They
gets five to six feet tall, kind of has a
sunflower type yellow flower too, or daisy like flower to it.

(23:30):
But the way the leaves form Sylphium s I L
P h I U M. I believe is a genus.
But the way the leaves form, they actually form a cup.
So when it rains or you have irrigation or water
or whatever. It holds the water in the leaves and
then they can come through, and pollinators love that one
as well. Now talk about you know, you got both

(23:53):
the flower on the top and the leaf with the
water underneath. So it's a very natural way to do that.
Now it's a bold perennial, so give it plenty of
room to grow. But it's called Indian cup plant or
cup plant excuse me, or Sylphium silphium, I believe is

(24:14):
the way that genus is spelled. But a really cool
bold perennial for a natural way to provide water for
your pollinators out there. I appreciate the calling in and
talking about that. As a matter of fact, last week,
if you recall, I had just gotten a notice from
the US Fish and Wildlife Service that they had put

(24:35):
a proposal out to list the monarch butterfly on the
Endangered Species Act, and they were looking for public comments
through March the twelfth, I think, on the federal Register
and then try to get this thing out there so
we can obviously do more to protect the monarch butterfly,

(24:55):
both from the Western United States and the eastern I
think the West durned group is facing extension extinction faster
than the group on the East Side, but nevertheless declining
every year. And we've been talking about that for a
long time. And so yeah, getting in on the Endangered

(25:15):
Species Act would really help to bring more attention to it.
And someone had called about, you know, mowing down you know,
right when they're getting ready to the milkweed along the
expressways along the roads un fortunately get mowed down occasionally
right when they're getting ready to flour or be ready
for the butterflies, and you know, how can we stop
that and et cetera, et cetera. Well, someone from the

(25:39):
Department of Transportation, Andrew was listening to our show and
had heard us talking about it and has put me
in touch with Joel Hunt, who manages O doot's pollinator
program and they have actually they do try to do
their mowing schedules to go around that, and he would

(26:00):
like to come on talk about it. So we're going
to get Joel, get in touch with him, get him
on the show. We'll talk about how and why adopt
adopted to opted to enroll in the Conservation Agreement in
the mowing schedules to benefit the monarchs pollinators etc. Ceter
talk about the pollinator plots and the whole nine yards
what the state of Ohio is doing. So thank you
Andrew for listening to the show, and thank you for

(26:22):
setting us up a getting his contact with Joel Hunt
so we will get him on the show and talk
about what the state of Ohio is doing. And believe
it or not, there are areas that they make sure
that they don't mow to protect those milkweeds from so
that they flour and they're available for the monarch, butterflies
and other pollinators to use as well. So again, thank

(26:44):
you for doing that. I really really appreciate it. Also
got a picture this week from one of our listeners,
tom and Gross City, and he said, I don't know
if you've been over off of a trade you lately
or not in the San Margarita, but that's where Tomato
Dick's produce stand was, and of course his gardens and
he lived there as well. I knew he had moved

(27:06):
but still had the produce stand there and his all
of his tomatoes and the garden right behind it, and
I knew that was coming under construction and being taking
care of it. Unfortunately, you sent pictures in all the
cranes are there and they are in the process of
tearing all of that out. You know, progress obviously, we
move on, move forward, but he has sad to see

(27:29):
that happening, getting that moved out of there. He's been
there for a long time and there's you know, provided
tomatoes for a lot of people, a lot of great
information on our show between him and Tomato George sharing
some of their favorite tomatoes that are out there, and
of course going back with him with at Kellogg's Breakfast
and we had the big throwdown with Kellogg's and a

(27:50):
man of Orange to see who liked a witch won
the best. And you know, they were always very open.
He was always open. They always had tomatoes for you
to taste so you can see what kind that you
like the best and then buy him from there. So
it was a always a great source of tomatoes and
great source of information and just a really nice guy
to talk to as well, Tomato Dick. So that's uh.

(28:12):
It's sad to see the pictures, but you know, I
knew it was coming somewhere down the road here. But anyway,
that's that's uh. I appreciate you sending me the pictures.
Tom and and keeping us updated on that, and Tomato
Dick listens to the show, so uh, you know he'll
I'm sure he'll chime in with us in the springtime
doing a lot of container gardening. He was down in
Florida over the winter doing some container gardening with tomatoes

(28:33):
down there, so you know he's gone from all that
big tomato patch and tomatoes Tomato Dick's produce stand to
container gardening, but still growing those tatoes tomatoes because there's
nothing like that fresh tomato, picking it off and eating
it right there. Ask Tomato George as Tomato Dick or
anybody that does that. All right, quick break, we come
back the Queen. We'll be with us, bar B.
