Director: Rudolf Ising
Summary: The drunken antics of her husband drives a female honeybee to go out and collect honey for herself...until a spider traps her in his home.
The Channel: WKBD in Detroit, Michigan (now CW Detroit 50)
Part(s) Edited: Back in the 1980s, WKBD cut the beginning of the cartoon where the female honeybee's husband drunkenly stumbles home from a night out and tries to slip in without her knowing, but fails (some things never change). While the Looney Tunes wiki says the cut was done for time (which I partially believe, since the scene did eat more clock than it should have, but the early cartoons weren't shining paragons of pacing), I personally think this was done to de-emphasize the fact that the male honeybee is a drunk.
How It Plays Edited: It's pretty obvious that something's edited from a story perspective. That drunken stumble home establishes the character and his flaw. They're lucky they didn't cut how the flaw affects his love interest.
Video Comparison:
Availability Uncut: The good news: this is a public domain cartoon, so you can watch it on YouTube (or any other video site) without worrying over copyright claims. The bad news is that it was available on two media releases (the Golden Age of Looney Tunes laserdisc [volume 5, side 1: "Black and White Classics"] and streaming on WarnerMedia RIDE), but the Golden Age of Looney Tunes laserdisc has long been out of print and WarnerMedia RIDE (which became Warner Bros. Discovery RIDE) shut down in October of 2023.
