Welcome back. We’ve got another fine puzzle for you this week, but its theme is a bit different than you may be used to from Beekeeper crosswords. This is because there are plenty of theme entries, but we aren’t going to make it obvious which ones they are. There should be enough hints for you to figure it out though. (Yes, the title of the puzzle is one of those hints.)
What with one thing and another, the difficulty of this puzzle has been adjudged (by our ever faithful panel of experts) to be a Thursday on the NYT challenge scale. If you feel up to the challenge, you can download it as either an Across Lite file or a printable PNG image. Happy solving.
