In the New Girl episode “Godparents,” while Schmidt (Max Greenfield) worries about Cece (Hannah Simone) getting pregnant again, Winston (Lamorne Morris) is anxious and nervous about becoming a father. Jess (Zooey Deschanel) reacts with good intention by tracking down Winston’s long-lost father Van. Winston, who’s wearing a colorful bird shirt, warmly greets his father at the door — his father is wearing a white collared shirt with big black bees all over it. What does it mean?! Birds and bees? Maybe nothing. If you like it, here are a handful of similar men’s shirts with embroidered bees on them.
