After grilling the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, I headed out to look for trouble at Bee Day at Jones Honey on the western edge of SLC.

Bee day is a spring ritual where small-time bee keepers throughout the valley come for their share of the tens of thousands of bees shipped in from California. The queens, at more than $20 a piece, come in separate wooden capsules.

In short, the apiarists release the bees into their hives, let them meet their queen and you gently begin a sweet circle of life.

A carton of queens about the size of a shoebox is worth $2,000. But despite what they might tell you in Eldorado, Tex., a drone, after he's done his thing, is worth, well, nothing to the hive.

One of the guys at Jones Honey handed over a drone for us to hold. "No stinger. This guy ain't worth nothing. When they want to get rid of him, they stop feeding him and he dies in about four days."

Warren Jeffs better hope the FLDS women don't figure it out.
