One day, she wakes up to find that her the bees in Honeywood hive, have been taken ill after drinking dirty water from the local river. Bella Bumble is full of energy and keen to find a fresh supply of good clean water for the bees in the hive. She flies off on her adventure and meets new friends along the way. Bella learns that partnerships and friendships are very important and that by working together you can achieve a lot more than working alone.  

Bertie Bumble has shown himself to be a brave, confident and resilient member of the Honeywood community which Queen Beeatrice recognises. She is so proud of him that she asked him to become a professor of Science at Honeywood University Bertie can’t quite believe it and he wonders if he is good enough to take on this very important job. 

He seeks advice from his Aunt Betty in the hope that she can relieve his self-doubt. Will Bertie believe in himself and have the confidence to take on this important job?

As Bertie Bumble waits for his wing to repair, he helps Queen Beatrice run the hive. She tells Bertie that the hive is growing and how they will soon need to swarm and find a new home. Queen Beatrice trusts Bertie and she asks him for his help to lead her swarm on a new adventure. Bertie isn’t sure he is good enough for such a job and seeks the advice of his family where he is reminded how important it is to have self-belief and demonstrate leadership skills to help make a 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?

Betsy is a very creative bee who loves to solve problems and help her creature friends in Honeywood. One day she spots her good friend Big G the grasshopper sitting under an apple tree looking very sad. Betsy realises he has a problem which she may be able to help him solve, so she works hard to come up with an invention that could help him. Will she be able to put a smile back on Big G’s face?

Betsy and Blue are identical twin sisters who love going on adventures together. They decide to hold an annual Honeywood Sports Day which all the minibeasts help to arrange. Blue is determined to improve her flying skills and become as fast as her sister Betsy and maybe even beat her in the flying race. Blue works hard practising flying every spare moment and Betsy spends her time organising the event and getting creative. Will the event be a success?

The mini beasts across Honeywood are left worn out after an awful disease makes the bees sick. Many sick bees have been taken to Nightingale Hospital to be looked after by Lady Scarlett and the ladybird nurses.

The little bees are so ill that their families are not allowed to come in to see them. To keep them happy, the ladybird nurses read them loving letters and cards written by their families, which are delivered every morning by the caterpillars.

The caterpillar family struggle to carry the heavy sacks, so Betsy, Bobby, Blue and Bella use their enterprising skills to design something innovative to make the caterpillars’ lives easier, but will it work?

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.
