I'm Cory with the story.

Maggie Gyllenhaal recently shared a funny confession on the Smart List podcast.

The 48-year-old filmmaker admitted that all the bees her husband Peter Sarsgard keeps at

their Brooklyn home, died while he was away on.

Acting jobs.

It happened back in March, and she owned up to dropping the ball on B-sitting duty.

Peter, who was 55, loves nature and raises bees along with chickens and taps maple trees.

He had just one week at home between shoots in Switzerland and London when the bees perished.

Maggie tried to console him by pointing out that full-time beekeepers managed that as their

only job.

The podcast hosts, including Jason Bayman and Will Arnett, got a kick out of it.

Bateman straight up asked if she shirked her responsibilities and she laughed yes.

They joked about notes left behind like, don't forget to water the bees, lightening

the mood.

Maggie and Peter met at a dinner in 2001 and have built a strong family since.

They got engaged in 2006, welcomed daughter Ramona that year.

She is now 19 and daughter Gloria, who was 13.

They married in Italy in 2009.

The pair keeps collaborating on projects, including Maggie's new film The Bride, now in theaters,

where Peter praises her talent in bravery.
