yeah mate ya right -
but not just bees - native bees
Sugar Bag is native or wild honey and there are many types of native bees in Australia,
and they don't sting!
You find the hollow trees the bees live in and chop them down to get to the hive.

Ok, what was the original filling used in Twinkies and why was it replaced with the current vanilla flavoured filling.  (I always thought Twinkies were 100% chemicals since they seem to have a shelf life of about a thousand years.  I think they're nasty things but some people love them.)

I learned that from watching the inauguration.  PS.  I have dual citizenship and my Canadian one came second but I've never lived in the States.
