The joke comes from the expectation that bee keepers should care about bees, this expectation is built up and we are led to assume that the bee keeper with a million bees in one hive has found some revolutionary method of keeping bees. These expectations and assumptions are then turned on their head with the punch line “Fuck em there only bees” and thus the humour is derived.

It’s all about delivery.

 

I have now successful sucked any humour out of that joke, I feel like a kill joy

Cruelty to bees is no joke.

some revolutionary method of keeping bees...

Or an enormous hive.

I think that's something we can all agree on!

Thank you, Mr Guy, for helping me out on that one.

A man is walking down the street when he runs into his friend. But there's something different about him: his friend has an orange for a head.

So the man asks his friend, "Hey man, why do you have an orange for a head?"

And his friend replies, "Well I was digging through the trash and I found a magic lamp. I rubbed it and a genie popped out and promised me three wishes."

The man then says, "That's cool, but why do you have an orange for a head?"

His friend replies, "Well for my first wish I asked to be the richest man in the world, and 'poof!' I had tons upon tons of gold bullion at my feet."

The man shuffles and asks again, "Okay, but why do you have an orange for a head?"

His friend smiles and says, "Wait, wait. I'm getting there. For my second wish I wished for the most beautiful woman in the world to be my bride, and 'poof!' there she was, the very likeness of Helen of Troy."

The man, dumbfounded and quite anxious asks once again, "Okay, but why do you have an orange for a head?!?"

To which his friend replies, "Well, for my third wish, I wished for an orange for a head."

How did he recognise his friend if his head was an orange?  Maybe he kept the same hair style....

FWIW, the first joke made me laugh.

I thought he was going to say he wished he was David Dickinson.
