The honest little bee
In a lively forest, a friendly little bee named Barnaby Bumble faces a dilemma when he discovers a tempting jar of honey. Will Barnaby choose honesty over winning a prestigious prize? Join Barnaby as he learns an important lesson about the sweetness of honesty.
Barnaby Bumble was a very small bee with very big worries. His biggest worry wasn't the grumpy spider who lived under the rose bush, or the sudden summer storms. No, Barnaby’s biggest worry was his sticky, sweet, irresistible love for honey. One sunny morning, Queen Beatrice, the wisest bee in the hive, announced a honey-gathering competition. The bee who brings back the most delicious nectar will win the Golden Honeycomb! Barnaby’s wings fluttered with excitement. He loved honey more than anything.
Barnaby zipped off, eager to find the best flowers. He buzzed past fields of bluebells and meadows of daisies, finally landing on a patch of bright, juicy sunflowers. As he was filling his pollen sacs, he noticed something peculiar. A large, overflowing jar of golden honey sat hidden beneath a big sunflower leaf. It was the most beautiful honey he had ever seen, shimmering like sunshine. Barnaby's heart raced with temptation.
Barnaby's tiny legs trembled as he hovered near the jar. A sneaky thought buzzed in his head. - Just a little dip, Barnaby whispered to himself. - No one will know. He dipped his proboscis into the jar, the sweet taste exploding on his tongue. It was divine! But his mama bee's words echoed in his mind: - Honesty is sweeter than any honey, Barnaby.
Barnaby flew back to the hive, his pollen sacs only half full. The other bees were buzzing with excitement, showing off their overflowing sacs. - I’ll never win, Barnaby sighed, feeling small and insignificant. He thought about giving up, believing the Golden Honeycomb was out of reach. But deep down, he knew he couldn't take the honey. It wasn’t earned.
When it was Barnaby's turn, he nervously presented his meager collection. Queen Beatrice looked at him kindly, her antennae twitching. - Barnaby, you have so little. Did you have trouble finding flowers? she asked. Barnaby's face turned as red as a poppy. - No, Your Majesty, I found a jar of honey. A lot of honey. But… it wasn’t mine. Queen Beatrice's eyes widened with surprise.
Queen Beatrice smiled, a warm, golden smile that made Barnaby feel a little less small. - You found a jar of honey and you didn’t take it? she asked, surprised. - No, Your Majesty, Barnaby said, looking down. - It wouldn’t have been honest. Queen Beatrice announced, - Barnaby, you have won the Golden Honeycomb! The other bees gasped. Barnaby learned that day that honesty is the sweetest reward of all.
