It's cos it melts Plug ...
So I guess Meltstaff and Melt You Pups would be big honey fans too.
I also liked bees as a kid because they produced honey, I used to play around with them thinking they would never sting me as I was a friend of the bees.
Then one of the little campaigners stung me one day and my fondness for them quickly wore off.
The worst bee sting I got as a kid was at a swimming pool when we were having school swimming lessons, I went to climb out of the pool by putting my hands on the pool ledge to lift myself out and put my hand right on a bee which stung the f*** out of me. I fell back into the pool clutching my stung hand and screaming my head off, the swimming teachers supervising us shat themselves as they thought I was drowning lol.
