Thar She Buzzes

Episode 24 of 26

The adventures of two unlikely friends. Big rushes in to find Small trying to chase a bee. He tells Small that you should leave bees alone, but Small doesn't listen.

Big hears a disturbance in the house and rushes in to find Small trying to chase a bee. Big attempts to tell Small that you should leave bees alone and he lets the bee escape out a window.

Small still believes that bees are out to get you, however, and chases the after bee to tell it to stay away. Small follows the bee across the garden and down to the pond. He makes Big row across the pond in a boat after the bee - even though it would be quicker to walk around! When on the water, Small tries to whack the bee with a tennis racket and causes the boat to capsize - although they are only a few feet from shore and so totally safe.

Big points out that bees make honey and are needed to make fruit and flowers grow. Small realises that Big does, indeed, have a point and appreciates that bees are good even if it's better to keep your distance.
