The Little Bees

 “It’s a good sunny day Pete,” Alisha said buzzing and pulling pollen.

“Yeah, it’s good to see us all coming together to meet the Queen bee’s demands this year. I’m just a little surprised at how there’s not as many flowers as it used to be some years back,” Pete explained.

Noticing a cloud of smog, Pete and Alisha got their first lesson about pollution.

“We better head back to the hive Pete,” Alisha said while taking notice of the vibrant color change.

Pete couldn’t believe how fast things had changed in the field of pickers.

The next day the little bees that were left didn’t really have much to say. 

Alisha stood tall, “We can’t let pollution kill us all, our Queen is not happy.”

Pete was a little less optimistic, “It’s over friends. There’s no way we can please the Queen with such a small field of flowers.”

This was the biggest challenge for the Mayberry Bees, but when things always seemed hopeless they would go visit their old bee keeping friend Jerry. He always knew what to do.

“Good day friends,” Jerry said, noticing Pete and Alisha buzzing at his window.

“Jerry, pollution is killing our flowers, can you help us please our queen?” Pete asked.

Jerry smiled at his little furry friends.

“No need to worry, nature will eventually balance things out. In the meantime, I will relocate you and your colony to a better place filled with sunshine and flower fields,” Jerry assured his friends.

The next day, Jerry kept his word and relocated his Bee buddies. They were very pleased. After seeing his friends off to their new start with a happy queen, he vowed to fight against pollution. Eventually nature did even things out because a huge explosion stopped all activity and left the pollution creating factories empty in the long run. Jerry didn’t even have to do much because somehow Mother Nature protected him and his furry bee friends. After the factories closed down the rain washed away all of the pollution and she created a new field of flowers for the bees.

In the End, Honey, was the gift to the world.

It evened things out.

The End
