0:00:43 > 0:00:44A BEE BUZZES

0:00:44 > 0:00:45Huh?

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Woo!

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Did you hear that?

0:00:49 > 0:00:53It's like a tiny engine.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56A tiny, invisible engine.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Huh. There, by the flowers.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02No, it's on the flower.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Whoa!

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Huh. Ah, it was a bee.

0:01:09 > 0:01:14Hm? I wonder why bees like flowers so much?

0:01:14 > 0:01:17When you need to know, go to Okido.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Hello.- Hello, Messy.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32What's wrong?

0:01:32 > 0:01:35- It's our plants.- Well, they look OK.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Bushy, green,

0:01:37 > 0:01:39lots of little yellow flowers.

0:01:39 > 0:01:40That's the trouble.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43There are lots of flowers on them...

0:01:43 > 0:01:45But nothing else.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47What else do you want on a plant?

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Ice lollies?

0:01:49 > 0:01:51MESSY LAUGHS Toothbrushes?

0:01:51 > 0:01:52MESSY LAUGHS

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Tomatoes.

0:01:55 > 0:01:56Tomatoes?

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Pfft! Tomatoes come from shops.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01They don't grow plants.

0:02:03 > 0:02:04Do they?

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Yes, Messy!

0:02:06 > 0:02:08If they are tomato plants they do.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Hm. So...

0:02:10 > 0:02:14So where are they, then, all these tomatoes?

0:02:14 > 0:02:16That's what we want to know.

0:02:16 > 0:02:21The flowers should be turning into tomatoes by now.

0:02:21 > 0:02:22But they are not

0:02:22 > 0:02:24and we don't know why.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25Hm.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28I know. We can ask Farmer Fuddle.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30He knows about plants.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31MESSY WHISTLES

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Let's ski-doodle, Okidoodle.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Hello, you lot.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45Look at my bean plants.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Lots of flowers, no beans.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49THEY GASP

0:02:49 > 0:02:51It's the same all over Okido.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54No strawberries.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00No cherries.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02- It the bees.- The bees?

0:03:02 > 0:03:05What have the bees got to do with it?

0:03:05 > 0:03:08They've disappeared.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Maybe Zim, Zam and Zoom can help.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Have you seen my Buzzy Bot, Zim?

0:03:27 > 0:03:29You're what, Zam?

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Buzzy Bot.

0:03:31 > 0:03:32ZOOM BLEEPS

0:03:32 > 0:03:36Oh, don't tell me it's got out again.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Did you leave the window open, Zim?

0:03:38 > 0:03:40ZOOM BLEEPS

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Erm, it was a bit muggy in here.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45What's a Buzzy Bot?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Ah, my latest invention.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51It tracks the flight patterns of certain pollinating

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- insects in order to... - It's a robot bee.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Ooh. A robot bee?

0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Can we see it? - Oh, please, can we?

0:03:59 > 0:04:01I'm afraid not.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Zim left the window open and it escaped.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Sorry.

0:04:06 > 0:04:11Oh. I wonder if that has something to do with the missing bees.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13The bees are missing?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15That's a disaster.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19But why? Why are bees so important?

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Zoom.

0:04:22 > 0:04:27Bees buzz around flowers collecting sweet sticky stuff called...

0:04:27 > 0:04:31Woo! ..nectar that they use to feed their babies.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33But while they're doing this,

0:04:33 > 0:04:35powdery stuff called pollen

0:04:35 > 0:04:37sticks to their bodies.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Ha-ha! Messy old bee.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41No, no, no. That's the clever bit

0:04:41 > 0:04:45because, when the bee moves on to the next flower,

0:04:45 > 0:04:47some of the pollen rubs off

0:04:47 > 0:04:49and that pollen helps the second flower

0:04:49 > 0:04:54to make a seed, which will become a new flower or plant.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55ALL: Wow.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59So, does that mean tomatoes are seeds, then?

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Well, tomatoes are fruit and have seeds inside them.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Like beans?

0:05:04 > 0:05:05And socks.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Socks haven't got seeds inside them, Messy.

0:05:08 > 0:05:09No?

0:05:09 > 0:05:13- No.- So where do all the sock trees come from, then, eh?

0:05:13 > 0:05:14Tell me that.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Oh, Messy.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Look.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20It's a worker bee.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Worker bees are the ones that collect all the pollen.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27She looks like she's trying to tell us something.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32What's she doing?

0:05:32 > 0:05:34She's dancing.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37It's how bees talk to each other.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39ZAM MUMBLES

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Yes, yes, yes. She wants us to follow her.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46- We are going to the hive. - ALL: Yeah!

0:06:01 > 0:06:03We've arrived at the hive.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Now, put these on, everybody.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Huh? What are they for?

0:06:10 > 0:06:11To protect you.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15Bees can sting sometimes, if they are startled.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20Stand back, everyone. I'll deal with this.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Anyone at home?

0:06:23 > 0:06:25DOORBELL BUZZES

0:06:25 > 0:06:27There's no-one here.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33BEE MUMBLES

0:06:33 > 0:06:34Oh, no. Oh, dear.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38Apparently, some huge mechanical bee came along...

0:06:38 > 0:06:39THEY GASP

0:06:39 > 0:06:42..and led the queen and all the bees away to the forest,

0:06:42 > 0:06:46leaving just this one worker bee to look after the hive.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49And the hive needs lots of worker bees to work properly.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Oh, so that's what happened to my Buzzy Bot.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54We'd better go and find them.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Ah! There.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05ZOOM BLEEPS

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Hey, look. The bees.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Your Majesty.- It's the queen bee.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26She is the most important bee in the hive.

0:07:26 > 0:07:27Ah!

0:07:27 > 0:07:29The queen bee!

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Balabalaboomboom.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33QUEEN BEE BUZZES

0:07:33 > 0:07:34Ah, yes.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37It seems that the Buzzy Bot told the queen bee

0:07:37 > 0:07:39that there was more nectar here.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42And when the queen leaves the hive,

0:07:42 > 0:07:44so do all the other bees.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47And now they can't find their way home.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49But the Buzzy Bot was wrong.

0:07:49 > 0:07:54There aren't any flowers for them here, so they can't collect nectar.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56All their babies must be hungry.

0:07:56 > 0:08:01And nobody in Okido has got any vegetables or fruit.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Where is the Buzzy Bot?

0:08:07 > 0:08:09- BUZZY BOT:- Buzzy Bot. Buzzy Bot.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10ALL: Wow!

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Buzzy Bot. There you are.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Hello.- Buzzy Bot, where have you been?

0:08:17 > 0:08:23Why did you lead the queen and her bees away from their hive?

0:08:23 > 0:08:26Buzzy Bot thought there was nectar in the forest

0:08:26 > 0:08:29but then Buzzy Bot got lost.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Buzzy Bot sorry.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Oh, that's OK, Buzzy Bot. Don't worry.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Buzzy Bot just wanted to be a real bee.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40But you're a Buzzy Bot.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42You're special.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44I'm special?

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Yes. You are very special.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51And if you lead the queen bee and bees home,

0:08:51 > 0:08:55Zim will ask the queen if you can be her special helper,

0:08:55 > 0:08:57- won't you, Zim?- Mm.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01ZIM MUMBLES

0:09:01 > 0:09:04QUEEN BEE BUZZES

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Yes, the queen agrees.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09OK, let's go.

0:09:09 > 0:09:10ALL: Hooray!

0:09:23 > 0:09:24Here they come!

0:09:30 > 0:09:32QUEEN AND BUZZY BOT BUZZ

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Well done, Buzzy Bot.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40You're now part of the hive.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Yippee. Thank you. Bzzz.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Oh, phew.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Hello again, bees. I missed you.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Ah, the bees are back.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55- ALL:- The bees!- Hooray!

0:09:57 > 0:10:00QUEEN BEE BUZZES

0:10:00 > 0:10:03It was nothing, Your Majesty.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06We're glad to have been of service.

0:10:06 > 0:10:07ALL: Your Majesty.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10A pleasure doing buzziness with you.

0:10:10 > 0:10:15Right, time for us to check our tomato plants.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17And time for me to buzz off home.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Ha-ha! Buzz. I said "buzz".

0:10:20 > 0:10:23ALL: Bye, Messy.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25BEE BUZZES

0:10:25 > 0:10:26Hello, little bee.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Now I know why you like flowers so much.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Oops. I forgot.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33This is how bees talk.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35MESSY BUZZES

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Bye.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Balabalaboomboom!
