a bloke walks into his local and spies an old friend he has not seen for years.

-'alright andy mate, hows it goin?'

-'alright bill, aye not bad mate, good to see ya.'

-'so what's new, you workin?'

-'aye i'm actually a beekeeper'

-'man what a coincidence, so am I!...so what is your set-up like? ive got a dozen hives and about 5000 bees in all'

-'ah i've only got one hive'

-'just one?! fair enough, so how many bees have you got?'

-'a million'

-'a million bees?! it must be some size of hive mate'.

-'naw just normal size'.

-'for a million bees? they must be crushed in like buggery!'

-'fuck 'em.'

Eh? 

Is there a bit missing?  Like a punch line?

MAYBE the point is to see how many people will admit to not getting something that actually isn't meant to be funny?

Maybe, we psychologically expect a joke because that is how the conversation appeared.

Perhaps, all it is is two friends, meeting in a bar.

And one is slightly bee-ist

I recall Alan Davies telling this gag on QI to a mixed reaction.
It helps to see the body language and facial expression

Obviously I am in the minority but I found it quite funny.

After a bit of Googling (it's a slack day in the office) the original punchline is....

"Yeah, f**k 'em; they're only bees.”

"I fecking hate bees, feck 'em"
