0:00:57 > 0:01:00- Sali moves back and forth, - back and forth.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01- She's making a silver web.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35- There's enough here - to feed the kids for days.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Have you collected enough?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- If I collect anymore, - I'll be too heavy to fly.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- These busy bees are females.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- They fly from one flower - to the next collecting food.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Come on, girls. Keep going.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- We must be the busiest bees - in the valley.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- Maybe so, but down on the ground, - the ants are also busy.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- They're building a new home.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Who would have thought that our home - would be too small for us?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- There are so many babies here, - there's no room to turn.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- This stone weighs a tonne.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33- My poor back.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- The new home - is made from twigs and pine needles.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- The ants have collected - every single one.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Pull!
0:02:44 > 0:02:45- Pull!
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- It's hard work. Soon, the nest - will be as big as the one next-door.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- Back amongst the flowers, - Sali is still busy making her home.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- It's hard work, - especially when I'm upside-down.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- It takes a while to build a cocoon. - It'll be worth all the effort.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- From now on, Sali will have - a safe place to eat, sleep...
0:03:17 > 0:03:22- ..and shed her skin - as she becomes a butterfly.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- How will it feel - when I have wings to fly?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- I can't wait to see. - I'd better finish this house.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- The bees are still busy.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Now then, have I been here before?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Help, help, I'm stuck.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- No more pollen here.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- There's plenty of pollen in here.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04- There's a cupful here.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- No more than a teaspoonful here.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14- Who could this be?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- It's another busy bee.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- She's bigger and slower - than her friends but just as busy.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- I'm tired.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Sali's tired too.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- She's almost completed her new home.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Then she can have a long sleep.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- After all, you can't be - a busy insect all the time.
0:04:57 > 0:04:57- .
