Summary
A mysterious organization known as the Lemonati has long promoted lemon over lime, influencing everything from beverages to music. Recent discussions highlight the emergence of 7up's new lime-lemon soda as a challenge to this dominance, suggesting a shift in consumer preferences and a potential uprising in the beverage market.
In a lighter segment, the conversation shifts to a community concern in Nelson, New Zealand, where residents are searching for a lost swarm of bees. The discussion delves into the reasons bees swarm, with insights shared about the importance of the queen bee in maintaining the colony. A local resident provides clarity on how to capture a swarm, emphasizing the need to ensure the queen is included in the collection process.
Listeners learn about the fascinating behavior of bees, including their unique communication methods, such as the "wiggle dance," which signals to others when a new resting place has been found. This exploration of bee behavior not only captivates the audience but also highlights the interconnectedness of nature and the importance of understanding these creatures.

More from Si, Lana & The Breakfast Club
Lana shared the time she was an extra playing a hospital patient with appendicitis. Nobody told her extras aren't supposed to make noise, so her dramatic groaning forced the crew to stop and reshoot the scene.
Si found a rugby story suggesting the team drop pool play to avoid South Africa in the quarter-finals. Lana reckons that kind of tactic always backfires, and caller Wendy said we are way too proud to even consider it.
Someone filmed Si getting told off by a guardsman in London and posted the clip to YouTube. Lana read out the brutal comments calling him an embarrassment until his daughter Lily jumped in to back him.
Simon ended up in hot water with his mum after telling his sister she looked tired at her graduation. Plus, someone in Nelson lost an entire swarm of bees, Speedy investigated how to actually pronounce Sistema, and Simon shared his emotional moment at his granddaughter's preschool graduation.
After a slightly awkward chat with his daughters about the high cost of underwear, Si looked into where bras actually came from. He tracked their history all the way back to ancient Rome and discovered the first proper US patent was made out of two silk handkerchiefs.
