Busy Buzz
There once was a bee named Buzz who
used to work for a mean old bossy
Queen named Ezmerelda. Every day Buzz and other bees would always
have to go out and find pollen and bring it to the nest and make
honey for her. One day while Buzz and a couple of other bees were
flying around a junk yard they found an abandoned beehive in an old
crate by an old busted up shack. So Buzz told the bees to stay and
guard the hive until he got back from the other hive where Queen
Ezmerelda lived.
A few minutes passed by, and finally
Buzz came back. When Buzz reached the hive he had a smile on his
face. He told the other bees that they could move in if they wanted
to. A couple hours later the bees had every thing they owned in their
new hive. But they just sat around and did nothing. Only once in
awhile would they go out and get some pollen and put it in their hive
and make honey. Then they would sit around and do nothing for the
rest of the day. But one day when Buzz was flying around town he saw
this store called The Bee Business. He flew in and came out with a
color T.V.which he brought it to the hive and turned on. But since
all they got was one channel Buzz turned it off and said," Let's go
out and get more pollen so we can have honey for the winter." So all
the bees flew out the door and
flew around a big bunch of flowers.
Meanwhile, at the Queen's hive she
did a head count and she found that some of her worker bees were
missing. So she called out her guard bees and posted a wanted poster
for them.
Back at Buzz's hive they were just
unloading their pollen and putting it in their storage room for the
winter. As Buzz was passing an electric pole
he saw the wanted poster for him and his
friends. So he hurried back to his
hive and told his buddies what he saw. One of the bees asked what
they were going to do? Buzz said, "Let's go in the shack and find
something to block the door so the other bees won't get us." So they
all flew into the shack and found an old cover from a soup can. They
put holes in one side of it and they put wires in it for hinges and a
lock on it. Then they found a little box of pins which they put all
over the hive. When they were done their hive looked like a fortress.
They used a nail to lock their door and then they relaxed for the
rest of the day.
The next day they built themselves a
secret back room. If Queen Ezmerelda's
guard bees found them and broke in, they wouldn't find them in the
hive. After they were done they went out and found themselves
some armor so that if Queen
Ezmerelda's bees caught them outside their hive they wouldn't kill
them. They found all kinds of scraps from tin cans and
they brought them to their hive and put
them together and made suits of armor.
After they were done they put them in their secret room. Then
they dug a tunnel from their
secret room to the outdoors. When they reached
outdoors they put a light patch of mud
over the door so they could break it quickly
and get away.
Meanwhile back at the Queen's hive
she ordered her bees out to look for the others and bring them back
alive. The first day they didn't succeed
because, at Buzz's hive the bees were
eating and resting. At Ezmerelda's hive she was so mad she yelled at
her bees! And the next day they found Buzz
and his friends. The Queen was real happy that they found them but
when they told her that their hive was covered with pins and they
couldn't
get in the door she got mad at her
bees again and told them in to get them any way they could. The bees
tried their best but when they came back
they had cuts and bruises all over their
bodies from trying to knock down the
door. Finally, Queen Ezmerelda told them to quit and let the bees
go free because all of her bees
were getting injured trying to get in Buzz's
new hive.
When Buzz and his friends heard they
were free they celebrated all night.
