Since seeing that programme on tv about scientists teaching bees to play football, Billi has been trying to form a team.
Fearing that she'll get covered in mud, Polly wasn't very keen at first — but was eventually cajoled into giving it a try.
They're in the garden now having a kick-about with the children, using a (worryingly ripe) cherry tomato as their ball.
There was a brief argument between the Johnson Brothers as to which of them would be Lionel Messi, but it was settled fairly amicably by a Penalty Shootout.
While many people are confused by the off-side rule, Polly is baffled by much more basic aspects of the Beautiful Game: which way to kick the ball, for example, and why she can use only her rear tarsi for kicking.
Billi can't decide whether to name the team Queen Bees of the South or Queen Bee's Park Rangers... or, since they play in a black-and-yellow strip, possibly Beerussia Dortmund.
