Quotes

[Ted has phoned Peter to report that his hive of bees has been stolen and to ask Peter's professional advice]
Peter Kingdom: [on phone] Bees? How do you know they've been stolen? How do you know they haven't just... buzzed off? Go to the police, Ted - they deal with lost or stolen property. No, of course they won't laugh at you...
[he puts the phone down]
Peter Kingdom: ...not much they won't. Have you seen half a million bees loitering around on street corners? Obtaining honey with menaces?
