The Grumblebee

Winter is coming and everybee is busily gathering pollen. But poor Glib always gets left behind. When he finally catches up, everybee laughs at him. So Glib flies off on his own … and discovers a secret garden bursting with flowers. Will he be able to save the hive?

On sunny days, especially in spring, Marion and I love to sit on our verandah with a cold drink, listening to the creek chuckling and watching the fantails fluttering through the blossoms. But if you listen closely, you can hear another sound, too. The busy buzzing of bees . Do they ever sit around just enjoying the sunshine? And what if there was a bee who was a bit, well, grumbly. Not a bumblebee, but a grumblebee?
