Synopsis
Maya's first experience of life in the hive leaves her feeling flat. No-one seems to share her curiosity and excitement for the big wide world, and she starts to worry that she's not like all the other bees. Not understanding their importance, Maya breaks the bee rules and is banished from the hive. Alone in the meadow, Maya, determined to fit in and make a difference, befriends an unsuspecting grasshopper and unwittingly one of the bees' natural enemies - a hornet named Sting. Together they're unstoppable. Good job as there's a plot to tumble the Queen Bee from her throne! Based on the original German stories, this Australian revision and eco tale is simply charming.
