Elementary Sherlock and Watson-S1E24-"You Named A Bee After Me?"

[@nahte123456]

May not be a romantic thing, but you really do feel that Sherlock and Watson love each other in this series.

[@seksehfox]

Well, that depends on what your definition of “romantic” ;) This is probably one of the most meaningful things Sherlock could do to show his love and admiration for her. You are 110% correct :)

[@satanswife2546]

It's the most romantic thing ever, almost an equivalent to killing someone for you

[@WDwyer]

This is the sweetest thing - and tears me up every time I see it. He really loves Watson in the purest way possible. They are so lovely together, I forget they are acting.

[@kimmy227]

i’ve been bingeing elementary over the past few days and i’m so emotional, he loves her so much regardless of whether or not it’s romantic. joan watson is the most important person in sherlock holmes’ life and you cannot change my mind

[@Galvion1980]

This was such a sweet, loving gesture...meaningful on multiple levels: Bees are the heraldic symbol of the royal line of the Merovingians and also (in European culture at least) associated with loyalty, hard work and diligence. They are also essential to human survival (pollination of crops) and literally make life sweeter by producing honey. So this could really be seen as a true declaration of love (platonic, romantic, whatever) of Sherlock to Joan...

[@AndrewTheZ]

Not only that, but in the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novels, Sherlock became a beekeeper after he retired. (Bees were important to him)

[@michalbukvai7548]

Is there a better way of showing love than naming a bee after her?

[@projjwalray-6341]

Despite all appearances, Holmes does care about Watson and very deeply so. Being as extraordinary a person as Holmes is, his ways of showing it are equally extraordinary. Such a fitting end to such a gripping season! This moment always gives me goosebumps!

How to express your love to Joan Watson Andrew: *propose* Sherlock: *name a bee after her*

[@clarissagafoor5222]

this scene makes me teary every time I see it

[@tabularasa7711]

super, mega, ultra, monster romantic! omg, he named a bee after you. and then, so ridiculously charming, does not make eye contact... but the chemistry. to d i e for. that's how to act, people. feel it, and live it, and be it.

[@spikelilgirl]

They really do have a great friendship. :)

[@louiekim824]

You guys know that Sherlock has been studying bees and writing books about them right? And despite how rude he was to Joan from the start -which he’s changed now- but he actually named a new species of bee after Joan! To Sherlock, he yielded a life time of opportunity for Joan! This scene is indeed one of my favorites 😄

[@Jeff_Pryce]

Also, Euglasia Holmesia doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. 😆

[@neha445able]

Omg, their relationship is so platonic and spiritual and a real soul connection without it being romantic.

[@uptown3636]

I’m not crying. My tear ducts are merely sweating.

[@joenoor7264]

LUCY IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN EVER HER FACIAL EXPRESSIONS IN ELEMENTARY ARE JUST DELIGHTFUL

[@arrowversehandon2692]

Really does care for her he just has a different way of showing it sometimes

[@Gigipretty64]

I absolutely love Johnny and Lucy as Sherlock and Watson 🥰

[@theidiot5500]

“You see that queen over there? Her name is smithers”

[@scmacsart]

I miss them.

[@NateSean]

One problem with scene: A queen bee can get pregnant with multiple drones and she does this during a mating flight. There is literally no way to confirm those new workers are the offspring of that single drone.

[@auntbob6653]

Good point. And Osmia bees are pretty distantly related from honey bees. Closely related species can sometimes have hybrid offspring, but bees from separate families wouldn't be able to reproduce.

[@thegrimmretails3777]

@@auntbob6653 Not only that, unless one of those bees is a queen or a drone the Watson bees will be extinct in one month.

[@historysoup4777]

Hard to believe she's 45 here.

[@carepetie6464]

Naturaliste I really like this episode after the whole Moriety result. It's Sherlock's way of thanking Joan for helping him. Joan got a Bee named after her instead. Sherlock is such a genius. It makes me smile. I'm glad you like it too. Thanks. : )

[@celialocatelli8267]

Loveeeee!!!!!

[@Harpdashian]

Come on take a chance and start anew

[@uptown3636]

Amazing song, as are most of those featured in this series. My favorite is Bloodline by Barbarossa.

[@MrPablojack]

What does one do when you defeat your nemesis?

[@BlackCatFilmProductions]

I'm not a big fan of Elementary here but I did like this scene.

[@bibingraj9743]

I would love to watch the series but come on 6 seasons with 24 episodes each! That's too much time..

[@satanswife2546]

7 seasons now and I'm telling you it's seriously worthwhile

[@yenchu1237]

So...did you manage to watch the series? I'd only stumbled upon it about two weeks ago and am slowly ploughing through the series. Talk about delayed gratification lol.

[@uptown3636]

@@yenchu1237 have you finished the series? I hope you enjoyed it as thoroughly as did I.

[@yenchu1237]

@@uptown3636 I did. I would complete all houseworks for the day in the morning then sit back and enjoy a few episodes every day. I'd since repeated a few episodes I particularly liked. I haven't got down to watching the Benedict Cumberbatch version though.

[@uptown3636]

@@yenchu1237 Glad you enjoyed it. It’s a special show. The Cumberbatch version is a bit flashier, but it lacks the heart of this show. Im pleased that both shows were made, but Elementary is the more satisfying of the two. At least to my sensibilities.

[@MrPablojack]

Can someone tell me the name of the song at the begining?

[@SkyeJulieta]

unless Sherlock already had the queen and he was the only drone she came into contact with

[@NateSean]

@@SkyeJulieta Assuming you're right, he would have to remember which hive that queen came from because if he reintroduced her to the wrong one the hive would kill her. But assuming he controlled the circumstances and got the queen successfully mated and she did in fact lay eggs in that (clearly) well established hive the hybrid bee is a drone and it would die after mating. If the queen only mated once it would limit the number of eggs she laid, thus triggering the bees to kill her and raise new queens. As distracted as Sherlock had been in the intervening episodes, I'm doubtful those cells would be that distinctive.

[@dunnybrush]

I’d assumed that Sherlock had engineered a mating flight, somehow. I thought that the queen is inseminated with a lifetime supply during the mating flight, so she’d produce that offspring for some time. (Drones and workers, at her choice). Sherlock could split the colony at the next swarm season and propagate new colonies from there. But they would all be mongrels from that point onwards, though, as he started the new species colony from a single bee, so he’d have to choose what to breed the second generation with.
