0:00:24 > 0:00:29# In Dirtgirlworld! #

0:00:31 > 0:00:35Lovely. Don't you just love the smell of flowers, Ken?

0:00:35 > 0:00:38Those flowers are too big for weevils.

0:00:38 > 0:00:43But don't worry, I've got plenty of other things to smell...

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Like these dirty socks.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48You know what you need, Ken?

0:00:48 > 0:00:49Some clean socks?

0:00:49 > 0:00:54A weevil-sized garden, with weevil-sized flowers.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57That would be great, Dirtgirl.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00And I know just the person who can help.

0:01:00 > 0:01:05Scrapboy, Dirtgirl here with a special mission. Over.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08A special mission? I'm all ears. Over.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12It's the weevil-size garden for Ken. Over.

0:01:12 > 0:01:13That's a great idea!

0:01:13 > 0:01:17I'll get some things together and come on over. Over and out.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18BUZZING

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Do you hear that, Ken?

0:01:20 > 0:01:23I know that sound. It can only mean one thing.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Bee!

0:01:25 > 0:01:28It's OK, Ken, it's just a bee.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Bees can sting.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33That's why you have to be careful around them.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37But they're generally fine if you leave them alone.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41I'd rather sniff all my dirty socks than be near a bee.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Don't be silly, bees are very important.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Plants in your garden need bees to be healthy.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Why?

0:01:49 > 0:01:53Bees help plants make seeds, which make new plants.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55They do all that? How?

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Well...bees...

0:01:58 > 0:02:01You know, I don't know.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04But I know where we can find out.

0:02:04 > 0:02:09Come on, Ken, it's time to follow that bee.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15- You know, Ken, bees do something else for us too.- They do?

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Sure. Bees make honey.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Without honey bees, we wouldn't have any honey to eat.

0:02:20 > 0:02:26No honey? Follow that bee! But keep a safe distance.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Calling all Greenthumbs -

0:02:32 > 0:02:35I challenge you to make a terrarium garden.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46A big glass jar makes a perfect terrarium.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48You can put anything inside,

0:02:48 > 0:02:55soil, plants, you can create your own mini world.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57They're great. Thanks, Greenthumbs!

0:02:59 > 0:03:02There it is, Ken.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04What's all the commotion?

0:03:04 > 0:03:05Hi, Grubby.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Ken, you're supposed to be training for our next stunt.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11What is the stunt, Grubby?

0:03:11 > 0:03:12Well, I don't know yet.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16But I'm sure inspiration is just around the corner.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Maybe a song will help get you inspired.

0:03:19 > 0:03:20A song?

0:03:20 > 0:03:22What's it about?

0:03:22 > 0:03:23Bees, of course.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Hello, Scrapboy.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Hi, everybody. Hi, Ken, I'm glad you're here.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34I've brought you something.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38For me?! It's great, I love it.

0:05:38 > 0:05:39What is it?

0:05:39 > 0:05:40It's a terrarium.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44It's a container where you can grow plants. It's your garden.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47My garden? Really? Wow.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Those plants will flower soon.

0:05:49 > 0:05:55So no more sniffing my socks? Fantastic, I'm never going to leave.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Bee! get me out, get me out!

0:05:59 > 0:06:02I can't be in the garden if a bee's going to be in there.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06Don't worry, Ken, I'm sure we'll think of something.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09There goes the bee! Come on!

0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Hayman, have you seen a bee?- Hay.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Thanks, Hayman.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21Oh, and do you know how bees help plants make new seeds?

0:06:21 > 0:06:22Hay!

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Come on, it's flying away!

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Thanks anyway, Hayman, bye!

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Oh, no! It's gone into the hive!

0:06:33 > 0:06:38And we still don't know how bees help plants make new seeds!

0:06:38 > 0:06:40And now we'll never know.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Not so fast, Scrapboy, it's Grubby to the rescue.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47You know what the bee was doing!

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Not a clue. But I can ask him.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52You speak bee, Grubby?

0:06:52 > 0:06:57Sure. I don't like bees very much, but all grubs speak bee.

0:06:57 > 0:07:02Of course, most bees are usually too busy to talk for very long,

0:07:02 > 0:07:06always buzzing from one place to the next, this way and that.

0:07:06 > 0:07:11Oh, Grubby, will you please ask how bees help plants make new seeds?

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Oh, mister bee!

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Mister bee!

0:07:15 > 0:07:18SHE BUZZES

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Well, what a lovely bee.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Such a gentle bee.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32What did he say?

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Well, bees don't wear socks,

0:07:35 > 0:07:37but what look like socks

0:07:37 > 0:07:41is actually pollen the bees have picked up from the flowers.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Bees collect nectar and pollen,

0:07:44 > 0:07:46which they use for food.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50The pollen sticks to the bees' legs.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52When a bee visits a new flower,

0:07:52 > 0:07:56a little bit of pollen falls off its legs,

0:07:56 > 0:07:59this helps the plant make a new seed.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01which makes a new plant.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04The whole process is called pollination.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Pollination.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Wow!

0:08:08 > 0:08:13These honey bees use the nectar they collect to make honey.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Did you know that in a year

0:08:15 > 0:08:20a colony of bees can eat an entire bathtub of honey?

0:08:20 > 0:08:22That's a lot of honey.

0:08:22 > 0:08:27There it goes. Now I know why they say, "Busy as a bee."

0:08:27 > 0:08:29It just keeps going!

0:08:29 > 0:08:34Bye, bee! Wow, bees sure are important.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Come on, Ken. All this talk of socks and bees

0:08:37 > 0:08:40has given me a great idea for our next stunt.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Whatever you say, Grubby!

0:08:45 > 0:08:47This is my tiny garden.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50I've made it out of things I found close by.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Stones, twigs and leaves...

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Maybe the bees will come and have a cup of nectar tea here.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00I think I'll add a spiral leafy room.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02And a way in.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04And some shady trees.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07I think it needs a lookout.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Aw, with a slide!

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Making tiny worlds in great fun.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15You can make a world for bugs to play in.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19A pirate ship sailing the sea.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Even a butterfly obstacle course!

0:09:24 > 0:09:29Make a tiny place to play, where bugs can play all day.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31FANFARE

0:09:31 > 0:09:32Stunt time!

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Gather round, gather round.

0:09:43 > 0:09:49Today, our stunt-weevil Ken will be shot high into the air,

0:09:49 > 0:09:52where he will fly like a bee,

0:09:52 > 0:09:57before landing softly in the centre of that flower.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58Put your hands together

0:09:58 > 0:10:02as Ken answers the question we've all got on our minds -

0:10:02 > 0:10:05with the To Be Or Not To Be A Bee stunt!

0:10:05 > 0:10:06APPLAUSE

0:10:06 > 0:10:07Do it.

0:10:10 > 0:10:15I'm Ken the weevil. I'm a bee, a bee, a bee-vil.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Pull the safety cord, Ken!

0:10:22 > 0:10:27Great work. Ken! That was our best stunt ever!

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Bees are amazing.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34They fly from flower to flower dropping off pollen,

0:10:34 > 0:10:36which helps make new seeds...

0:10:36 > 0:10:40which helps make new flowers!
