Paddy and Jim were neighbours but they were also both beekeepers. The only difference was that Paddy had a very poor crop of honey whilst Jim had a huge crop.
Paddy was grumbling to his wife about this and said "If you see Jim in the garden ask him what his secret is. He is more likely to tell you than me"
When Paddy's wife asked Jim he explained, "I get up at 6 o'clock every morning to make sure the beehive entrance is fully open and I give the hive a gentle shake to get them out and about. It's particularly important at this time of year because all the flower beds in the local park are in full bloom and they get there before Paddy's bees."
That evening Paddy's wife related the story to Paddy who immediately replied, "The man is a liar."
"Why" said his wife.
Paddy replied, "Because the park doesn't open until 9 o'clock.
