This week the shopping task is all about gathering honey for BB. Gina, of course, is the Queen Bee, so she has to lead and watch over the other housemates as they gather the honey. This week, as we all know, she has been at the wrong end of an argument. Could the way she handles and goes about this decide her future in the house?



"This week’s shopping task is going to be a bit of a buzz – but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re all going to have lots of fun. The Big Brother House has been turned into a busy working beehive – and as we all know, bees work very hard to ensure there’s enough honey for their Queen.

Gina is the Queen Bee, becoming head of the hive and reigning over the task. She’ll watch her hive from the lap of luxury and make all the big decisions. Our Queen will pick one person to become her Guard Bee – the muscle that keeps the hive moving and enforces all the decisions –leaving the rest of the gang as Workers.

Workers will live a tough life, with scheduled breaks and basic rations. On top of that, they’ll be wearing shock pads so that, should they fall out of line, the Queen can dish out some instant punishment. BUZZ!

Over the next two days, Big Brother’s going to be ordering honey. A target amount of honey jars will have to be produced by our drones at the end of the shift – but Big Brother will also state to the Queen that they’ll be given treats in exchange for any extra honey jars that are produced. This will be a secret from the Worker Bees, so it’s at the Queen and Workers’ discretion how hard the Workers will work.

The first day of this sticky task is going to see HMs working all the hours god sends at BB’s Honey Producing Plant. One Worker Bee will stand on a platform filled with sticky honey while the rest will walk in circles, leaning on a bar that stirs the honey and pushes it out through taps further along the assembly line. Other Worker Bees will stand next to conveyor belt waiting to scoop up all that good stuff. It’s going to be a nectar festival, if only our pals can keep their spirits up.

Let’s hope Housemates keep their stings in order and don’t bumble around too much!

No honey = no money."
