Text and Images from Bee Not So Busy

All day long the Busy-Bees flew from hive to flower and back to hive, gathering pollen and nectar.

Their wings beat so fast that they caused a buzz!

“Look at us! We’re humming with activity!” they sang.

Bee-Not-So-Busy was different from the other bees.

“Why don’t bees enjoy the garden like the other insects?” she wondered.
