The Burns and the Bees is an amazing episode. Even though this episode has nothing to do with Christmas at all, I guess this is a Christmas episode. Well then, I have watched all of the Simpsons Christmas episodes, and there is 3 bad, 3 okay, 3 good, and 11 really good episodes. This episode falls in the good category. This episode is just soo funny. It has some really funny jokes about Billionaires. The episode just didn't have a great plot though. Only the great humor stood out and not the plot itself. If you watch this episode for great plot and heart, you will be disappointed, but if you watch this episode for great humor you would love it. In all, I give this episode a 7.4 out of 10.

Awesome episode - one of the best ever Simpsons episodes
penguinblooz7 December 2008
I was impressed with this episode. Extremeley witty and one of the best Simpsons episodes ever written. Seriously. The puns were fast and furious but even more than usual.
Kudos to the writer on this episode.
The story managed to be both topical - the dying off of Bees and provide a great story for Mr. Burns trying to impress as a billionaire. Both stories converged neatly in the end and Homer was there to muck up it up - albeit slightly.
What makes this episode so top-notch was the quality of the writing. I have never written a Simpsons commentary but had to stop what I was doing to check out the writer. I am not familiar with her: Stephanie Gillis, I think.
