LISA TRIES TO SAVE THE ENDANGERED SPRINGFIELD BEE POPULATION FROM MR. BURNS AND HIS NEW SPORTS ARENA ON "THE SIMPSONS" SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7, ON FOX

Mark Cuban (Owner, Dallas Mavericks), Marv Albert (Award-Winning Sportscaster) and Jeff Bezos (Founder, Amazon.com) Make Guest Voice Appearances

During the annual billionaires' retreat, Mr. Burns wins the Boston Celtics in a casual game of poker. While hosting the season opener in Springfield, Mr. Burns witnesses the antics of Dallas Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban (guest voice as himself). Fascinated with his behavior, Mr. Burns decides to emulate Cuban's over-the-top crowd pleasing stunts in order to win over the hearts of Springfield's basketball fans. In the midst of his failing endeavor, Mr. Burns decides that the best way to win over the fans is to build a brand new, state-of-the-art sports arena. Unfortunately, the last remaining bee colony in Springfield is located on the proposed stadium site, and Lisa is single-handedly spearheading a movement to protect them. As Lisa fights for a safe haven for the bees, Homer attempts to help the quickly diminishing bee population by mating the Springfield bees with Africanized bees, creating a buzzworthy fiasco in "The Burns and the Bees" episode of THE SIMPSONS airing Sunday, Dec. 7 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/8:00-8:30 PM PT) on FOX.
