Free the Bees is the second album from British band The Bees in 2004. Their first release for Virgin Records, it is also the first album to feature the current sextet that evolved during the tour that promoted debut album Sunshine Hit Me. However, all the members had performed with core duo Paul Butler and Aaron Fletcher before the album was produced, whether in other projects or simply in informal jams. "Chicken Payback" was used in a UK advert for Sure Deodorant For Men during the 2006 World Cup and was subsequently used in adverts for Age UK.
