Man yeah I don't get this one either. Is he putting bees in his dentures? Is there a punch line here?

Yes, he's putting bees in his dentures.

the joke is just making fun of that old adage, "deep down he knew it was the right thing to do" commonly intoned while a character is sacrificing something for the greater good while obviously ed here is committing an unquestionably violent, horrific act for no good reason.
