"How do you miss 30,000 bees living in your ceiling for a decade?"In this absolutely bonkers episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray take listeners on a wild ride through suburban bee infestations, questionable insect science, and the ever-growing despair surrounding the Dallas Cowboys. It’s a segment that starts with a 100-pound beehive and ends with fart spray and football panic—because of course it does.
- 🐝 Plano’s buzzing secret — A beekeeper removes a 100-pound hive with 30,000 bees that had been quietly thriving inside a home for 10 years. The team reacts with disbelief, confusion, and some truly questionable bee science.
- 🎙️ “They had a thermal camera to watch all these bees pleasuring each other.” — KT’s unforgettable take on bee behavior.
- 🧠 Insect misinformation hour — The crew debates whether bees die after stinging, if wasps send distress signals, and how many “loads” a bee can fire. Spoiler: no one knows anything.
- 🐝 Texas: the honey capital? — Turns out the Lone Star State is becoming a national leader in beekeeping. Who knew?

Speaker 4 (01:09):
A bee keeper removed a hive of a beehive weighing
about one hundred pounds from a home in Plano on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
He estimates the hive and been there for about ten years.
Yeah yeah, Fox SPORTSLAWI.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Okay, pretty good chemistry right there from Steve Eager and
Heather Hayes.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Wait, who was that Eager that lowered his voice in
octave and said that crude? Yeah, he didn't make it incredible?
Can I hear that again?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
And then he threw she's just reading the prompter, so
it interrupted her and so all she could do is say, yeah, yeah,
let me hear it. But he watch him drive his
car in front of her, so she can't talk.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
A bee keeper remove the hive a beehive weighing about
one hundred pounds from a home in Plano on Saturday.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah, he estimates the hive and been there for about
ten years.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Credible.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Yeah yeah, Fox Sports LAWI bro okay.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
We've noticed that Heather does not step on him as
he's clearly reading the prompter.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
A beekeeper removed a hive a bee hive weighing about
one hundred pounds from a home in Plano on Saturday.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Yeah, he estimates the hive and been there for about
ten years.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Credible.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Yeah yeah, Fox Sporzlwy's I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Think that's Sieger.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I think that's someone at the camera that just happened
to have a mic and they're muttering that's incredible under
their breath.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
He was on camera at the time. There was a
side shot of him and Heather. Its kind of weird.
So he's trying to toss it to the anchor or
the other anger. Where was it?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Uh and play?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Oh well, Lrie Brown's got the details.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Been ten years credible, Yeah yeah, Fox SHORZELWRII brow shoting
us now with law on this.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
LORI how the enormous hive was inside the home ceiling
and the only sign that it was even there were
some bees that were coming and going above a bay window.
When a man was visiting his parents at their Plano home,
he noticed some bees coming in and out of a
small opening.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
We use a thermal care It's a Fleer thermal camera.
It kind of gives us an idea where the bees
are located inside the structure. We wound up pulling at
least one hundred pounds of hive out of that ceiling
and This hive really impressed me.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Stephen Ross, owner of Ross's Rowity Bees, operates a few
hundred bee hives on agricultural land around North Texas. At
this home Saturday, it took twelve hours, but he was
able to safely remove these estimated thirty thousand bees.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Thirty thousand bees, and they had a thermal camera to
watch all these bees like pleasuring each other.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
It was pretty great.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I don't think I've ever thought about it that way.
There's people that quote unquote operate beehives. I guess I'm
just honey. I've never thought of it. I just assumed
it was a natural thing that happens in the world.
But I guess people cultivate it for honey or pollen
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Texas is becoming a big honey It's very strange, but
we make a lot of honey now. It was a
big article about this a few months ago. How about
we're becoming the leaders in the nation and beekeepers. So
we've seen a few stories with the beekeepers, and usually
they end up tragic or very poorly. One hundred year hive,
(04:11):
thirty thousand bees, and they were just having a couple
trickle into their house and that's how they noticed. But
it was up there in between the ceiling.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
How would they not know, how would they not hear?
How many bees were in there? Thirty thousand, thirty.
Speaker 8 (04:24):
Thousand bees are going to make some noise, and apparently
the hive keeps growing.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I heard him, and I left out some of the
boring stuff and science stuff, but he was talking about, well,
if you go kill the bees, you haven't necessarily solved
the problem because you have to destroy the hive. So
the hive just keeps, you know, getting bigger and bigger
and bigger over all these years that it's never handled,
and then it will always have bees. So I'm just thinking,
(04:51):
have you guys taken the raid or whatever it is
and gone out and sprayed bees?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Have you done it recently?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I don't think.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
No, I I don't. I think I mainly messed with
hornets and stuff. I don't see bees very often.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I feel like, you're not supposed to kill bees, don't.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
They in They're one that if you kill it, it's
like signals to the others.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
It's is that the Have you ever heard of this?
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And I do think over there trying to kill.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Men, because then we got one. Now, I got one
shot to defend themselves. Oh the wasp, well, one of them.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Dead. We all sound really knowledge.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
You're saying they have a load, and once they unload it,
they don't can't.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
There's no refractory time. They're just their careers over there.
One shot, Yeah, one shining moment? Is that right?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
You believe that. I don't think any of us know
anything about this topic like it is.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
It is.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
The four biggest know nothings just all offering things that
we've heard somewhere in the last seven or eight years,
anecdotally from someone that we didn't trust in the first place.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I have booked for tomorrow. B Arthur will be on
good mad joke, kidding, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
She's Walter Payton.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
She's not with us anymore. She's not on the Eagle, AmAm.
She's dead for about sixteen years.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
