0:00:07 > 0:00:09Hello, I'm Celia.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Welcome to my lovely, colourful garden.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Tonight's bedtime story is all about a little insect
0:00:17 > 0:00:20that would love my beautiful flowers.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Can you guess what it is?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24It makes this noise -
0:00:24 > 0:00:26"Bzzzz."
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Of course! It's a bee.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Let's find out what our bee friend is up to in the story.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36It's called Nature's Tiny Miracle Bee,
0:00:36 > 0:00:40written and illustrated by Britta Teckentrup.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Dawn is breaking on a brand-new day
0:00:46 > 0:00:48In the meadow, poppies sway
0:00:48 > 0:00:52A bee appears, striped black and gold
0:00:52 > 0:00:56A wonder of nature is about to unfold
0:00:58 > 0:01:01In the tree tops, birds start to sing
0:01:01 > 0:01:04The little bee beats her wings
0:01:04 > 0:01:06As she travels here and there
0:01:06 > 0:01:09A gentle thrumming fills the air
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Back and forth, toing and froing
0:01:11 > 0:01:14The bee knows exactly where she's going
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Visiting flowers of every hue
0:01:17 > 0:01:20She has a special job to do
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Gathering nectar, as she goes
0:01:22 > 0:01:25From every foxglove, every rose
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Dusty with pollen, the little bee
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Buzzes, buzzes, busily
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Bee travels on from bloom to bloom
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Drawn in by their sweet perfume
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Harvesting flowers one by one
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Her compass is the midday sun
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Among the orchard's apple trees
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Blossom quivers in the breeze
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Carrying pollen from place to place
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Bee always leaves a tiny trace
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Flowers as far as the eye can see
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Too many flowers for just one bee
0:02:02 > 0:02:06All of a sudden, bee is gone
0:02:06 > 0:02:08She has a message to pass on
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Back at the hive, bee spreads the news
0:02:12 > 0:02:15"There's work to be done, no time to lose!"
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Listen for their gentle humming
0:02:18 > 0:02:21The word is out - the bees are coming
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Buzzing over the dense hedgerows
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Past the pond where the wild thyme grows
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Through the orchard's sweet-smelling scent
0:02:32 > 0:02:35The bees travel on with calm intent
0:02:37 > 0:02:40As lilies glow orange in the sun
0:02:40 > 0:02:43The bees must finish what they've begun
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Stopping at every flower they find
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Leaving the gift of pollen behind
0:02:49 > 0:02:52The bees pass over a woodland stream
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Droplets sparkle and pebbles gleam
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Water trickles, bubbles and weaves
0:03:00 > 0:03:03A weeping willow trails its leaves
0:03:03 > 0:03:07As the bees fly on through buds and burrs
0:03:07 > 0:03:10A tiny miracle occurs
0:03:11 > 0:03:15For every plant and flower you see
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Was given life by one small bee.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Hope you enjoyed tonight's story.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28I think our bee friends are all tucked up in their hive,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30ready for a well-deserved rest.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32It's time for me and you to settle down, too.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I'll see you very soon for another story.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Sleep well. Night-night.
