[Music]
maya the bee
once upon a time
deep in the forest there was a honeycomb
on a tree
it was an important day for everybody
inside
for today was the day when the babies
would hatch
but this is a story of someone
[Music]
my special
burn
i'm so dark in here
wow
this is the story of maya
the bee
come on bring them out
hold your places now
[Music]
you will be named maya
maya
wait
why maya
why do we need names
uh i
i wasn't told i will have questions to
answer
but well
we all have names
so that others can call out to us
if i just say
you be
huh yes would are you talking to me
now you know why we need names
yes
because
we are all same but also different
that is
absolutely right
that is some good buzzing thought maya
come on everyone follow me outside
[Music]
maya was in awe it was like being inside
a shiny golden balloon
all the bees were busy with their work
some were cleaning the walls of the
beehive some dropped pollen into
something that looked like a diamond
some were simply walking in a line
well now
you all will be assigned work the ones
cleaning the walls are the cleaners
then we have the collector bees the
worker bees
why do we all have to work
what kind of a bee are you bees don't
ask questions oh don't be so rude julian
she's just a child
maya
we have to work because if we don't
we all will be very confused and useless
if the cleaners don't clean then the
beehive will get dirty if the collector
bees don't collect nectar
what is nectar
honey is made out of the nectar from the
flowers
there
you see them
they are the collector bees
they bring back nectar from the flowers
and then the worker bees make honey out
of it
the collector bees bring nectar from the
flowers but
how do they carry the nectar
oh you sweet little child
in their honey stomach of course we all
have one
oh
is that where i feel hungry right now
oh
not at all that's your food stomach
ugh
if we keep entertaining her we will be
stuck here all day
why can't we be standing here all day
days passed
all the newbies were given different
jobs
some cleaned the beehive from the inside
some cleared the dry leaves outside
some collected nectar from flowers some
guarded the hive against predators
everyone had a fixed place
except for maya
she always saw things differently
when everyone cleaned the walls with
their hands she would just blow at the
walls and consider the work done
and when the bees would walk in a line
why are you troubling me
oh
everyone is worried that i can't find my
place so
i am trying to see if i can walk like
you do
well you are doing it absolutely wrong
um
but
you are you
and i
and me
how can i walk the way you do
tell me can you
walk like this
oh of course i can see
oh oh no what am i doing
you child are distracting me what kind
of a bee are you
oh no i am left behind
cassandra the worker bee and even the
queen herself could not place maya
anywhere
she would just look at everything in awe
and ask a lot of
questions on your head bigby
[Music]
you can't talk to the queen like that i
am so sorry your majesty
tell me maya
why can't you work where we want you to
ah
um
i don't know
everybody here is always so busy
they just work work work work work
i don't feel happy when i see them but i
felt happy that day when i fell from
that diamond thing and swoosh and swoosh
i flew and round and round i went
my dream is to fly to go outside and see
the world
oh my
what is she blabbering about
dream
happy
what kind of a bee are you
bees don't dream
oh your majesty forgive me she means no
harm
i have been trying to place her myself
but she keeps talking about going out
maybe that's what she really wants
that is what she must be good at
we can send her out to collect nectar
well
asking a bee what she wants to be
that's a first
and also
very confusing
bees places
are assigned as soon as they are hatched
but if this is good for the beehive
so be it she is old enough to be sent
out to collect nectar
train her well and let her out
yes your majesty
and so maya was taught everything about
flowers
she was then trained to follow the swarm
of bees
she was warned repeatedly to never fly
alone
and lastly she was warned about the
hornets
the hornets were the sworn enemies of
the bees
they would always try to steal honey and
hurt the bees
but we can sing them if they hurt us
right
[Music]
the hornets are getting smarter maya
they wear armors every time they attack
us
only their neck can be stung as they
don't wear helmets but hardly any bee
has managed to sting a hornet in a war
you take good care not to be found by
them okay
i will take care
maya waved goodbye to cassandra and left
with the swarm
this was her first trip outside the
beehive
the moment she stepped out
maya was in awe
the trees the ferns the flowers
it's so beautiful out here i could just
buzz here all day
we are here to work maya not to just
keep buzzing around just make sure you
are always around your swarm
but maya wasn't listening
she was busy enjoying her first flight
[Music]
it's so shiny
oh so sorry i didn't know there was
someone there hi
i'm maya the bee
and you
oh you two look like a bee to me and you
are pretty lovely i must say
oh
wait
are you copying me
[Music]
that's very mean of you oh
you hurt me
you are being very rude
well well well
look what we have here
a human disguised as a bee
just
what
disguised
meaning you are a human under the
clothes of a bee
[Music]
that's your reflection dummy she is not
being rude
you are being rude to yourself
it's all in your head just like a human
trust me they themselves create most of
their problems
anywho

i heard you when you introduced yourself
to yourself before

your swarm what kind of a bee are you

maya collected all honey she could and
buzzed her way back home
she flew through the tall trees and
bushes and yet it was a long way to go

sworn enemy
oh you were right
that little ugly beat with cute eyes
let's just go
the hornets locked up maya in a small
room
maya was very scared and tried to run
away but failed
[Music]

lesson tomorrow

and help the guards
the hornets were not aware that maya was
listening to their plan

family
that night maya could not sleep
she kept thinking of what to do next
oh

don't wear helmets but hardly any bee
has managed to sting a hornet in a war
wait

as the sun rose the hornet came to
maya's room
[Applause]

reached her hive

queen

with full energy they flew from above
and stung the hornet's necks
