The Bumbles of Honeywood have overcome lots of challenges over the past year. They fought off the nasty hornets, then recovered from the awful Beezles pandemic. Straight after that came ‘Storm Suzy.’

 To lift everyone’s spirits, Bella and Bobby decide to organise a Honeywood Festival of Fun! Barry Bumble and his worker bees are asked to build a theatre, and Bella Bumble writes a play for the minibeasts to act on the stage. Bobby loves to make things, so he’s in charge of making all the costumes. The little bees ask for help from their friends in an attempt to make the Honeywood Festival of Fun a huge success.

Bobby and his mum Betty find their school has been damaged by the farmers’ machinery cutting back the hedgerow. Betty is a teacher at the school, and she asks Bobby to help her find a place for a new bee school. Bobby is keen to help, and he thinks about the most important features needed for a new school. He ventures away from the hive out into the countryside to find the perfect spot – he wants to make his mum proud. Did he find the perfect spot? When he returns, he shares stories of his adventures with the whole hive. 

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. Will the hornet see the error of his ways, and realise the magic of friendship and become a part of the Honeywood community?
