The Honeywood hive is rudely disturbed when a nest of bullying, noisy Hornets moves nearby and starts stealing their honey. The bees have to work together to find a solution to the problem and they work as a team to overcome the problem when it becomes noisier and noisier! Bertie finds himself injured as a result of rescuing Beebee from the nasty Hornets, so his fellow bee’s make best use of their own resources to help him feel better and fix his broken wing. The bees manage several difficult situations in this story but they eventually bring the community of bees safely home together.

The peace and tranquillity of Honeywood Hive is disturbed when a nasty hornet starts stealing their honey during the night and disturbing their sleep. Bertie leads the worker bees to try and solve this BIG problem peacefully. They decide to try and help the nasty hornet change his ways. They show him the magic of friendship and how if they all work together as a team and be kind to one another by sharing resources (including yummy, runny, honey), life could be much happier for everyone.
