Version of the "Birds and the Bees" sex talk that parents give children. Previously taboo, more and more parents feel the need to educate their children on not just when a man loves a woman, but when a man loves a man, and a woman loves a woman.

The Bees and the Bees would be two men, because of the stingers typifying a penis. Also, a bird is a slang term in 60's Britain for a woman, so the Birds and the Birds would most likely be the lesbians.
