As Bertie Bumble waits for his wing to repair, he makes special friends with Queen Beatrice – the Queen Bee of Honeywood Hive. She tells Bertie of how the hive is growing and they will soon need to swarm and find a new home – making way for a new Queen Bee and worker honey bees. Queen Beatrice trusts Bertie and she asks him for his help to lead her swarm to a new home. Bertie isn’t sure he is strong enough for such a special job and he worries how his life will change if he moves away from his family. Bertie’s family and friends remind Bertie what a special bee he really is and why he was chosen for this important job. Bertie is reminded how important it is to have self-belief and demonstrate leadership skills when helping make a big difference.

Betsy and Bertie Bumble had worked together in the Honeywood University Research Laboratory for a long time. Bertie had enjoyed training Betsy. She was great fun to work with, she was a quick learner, and she came up with exciting ideas! One day a worried Queen Beeatrice tells them both that she has just received some awful news that a terrible disease called Beezles is on its way to Honeywood very soon.
All the creatures in Honeywood will need to work together to try and help the bees and with Professor Baillie’s help, make testing kits, medicine, and a vaccine… but will they save the bees in time?

All creatures look different on the outside. Some are symmetrical and some are not. Use this lesson to learn all about symmetry, and print off the template to make your own symmetrical minibeast.

Use this presentation to learn all about the basics of symmetry. Encourage the children to identify the line of symmetry on each creature and identify which creatures are not symmetrical.

Use the cut outs to decorate your own symmetrical minibeast. Encourage the children to consider the shapes and colours they cut out to ensure their minibeast is symmetrical.
