Lisa also has a beard made of bees, which her parents dislike.
The first time Burns visits his team's game, he becomes aware of Mark Cuban , a billionaire who owns the opposing team. Because of his weirdness, he is loved by his team and their fans. When they meet, he tells Burns that he owns the team for fun, not an investment. Lisa is currently agreeing with her mother, Marge Simpson , to release the bees in a dilapidated greenhouse after they had become a burden in the Simpson family's home .
In order to be popular, Burns tries to mimic Cuban. He tries to make the warm-up before a game his team and renamed the Austin Celtics in Springfield Excite flats around. However, Burns achieves the opposite and makes himself unpopular. In order to still achieve his goal, Burns plans to build a new stadium. At the planned location, however, there is the greenhouse with Lisa's bees.
Finally, there is a referendum about whether the stadium should be built and the greenhouse demolished. Although Lisa argues convincingly, Burns wins an absolute majority because he promises to sign basketball star Marc Moore after construction . The angry Lisa then collects her bees again and goes with them and her father to Moe's tavern. The landlord Moe has the idea of crossing Lisa's bee colony with other bees so that they become strong enough to defend themselves.
The new generation of bees is occupying the stadium that has just been completed, as it looks like a giant beehive to them. Burns is giving the opening address there when the invading bees chase people out of the stadium. A few days later, Lisa and Homer come to the stadium and find that the bees have now completely recaptured the area.
A year later, Burns tells the story in the billionaire camp to the other rich. They notice that he only has about $ 996 million due to the loss he has suffered and is therefore only a millionaire. Therefore, he is put in the millionaires' camp. To his horror, he discovered that the millionaires did not have professional sports teams, only amateur teams.
backgrounds
