We were watching an old episode of QI and Alan Davies told this joke:

Two bee keepers . . . And one says, "How many bees have you got?"

And he says, "I've got 10,000 bees.”

He says, "How many hives have you got?"

He says, "I've got 20 hives".

“20 hives; 10,000 bees?"

He says, "Yeah.”

He says, “How may bees have you got?"

He says, “I've got a million bees.”

“A million bees?!"

He says, "Yeah."

He says, "How many hives have you got?"

"One."

"A million bees - one hive?”

He goes, "Yeah, f**k 'em; they're only bees.”

It got a laugh but we were baffled. Can anybody explain how it is supposed to be funny? Neither of us get it at all.

Not bothered about overcrowding/ getting them more hives....simple (but not very funny)

I think there’s a rule with comedy, if you have to explain it, then it won’t be funny

It made me laugh, when I watched it and when I read it, mostly because I wasn’t expecting that punchline

It's the best joke in the world if told well

If it's his job or hobby you naturally assume he has compassion for the bees

Its the unexpected response and distain with he delivers the punchline that reveals hes really just a bastard that makes you laugh...if you were under the misapprehension he cared

It’s an expected punchline, usually you can spot them a mile of. But it made me laugh.
