  Speaker 1: Maya the Bee Once upon a time, deep in the forest,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: there was a honeycomb on a tree. It was an
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: important day for everybody inside, for today was the day
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: when the babies would hatch. But this is a story
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of someone special.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Meow My eyes burn. Why is it so dark in here? Wow!
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: This is the story of Maya the Bee. Come on,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: bring them out. Hold your places now. You will be
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: named Maya.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Maya.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Maya. Wait, why, Maya? Why do we need names? Uh, I.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I wasn't told I will have questions to answer. But, well,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: we all have names so that others can call out
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to us. If I just say, you, B.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Huh?
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: What?
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Are you talking to me?
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Now you know why we need names.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: Because we are all same, but also different. That is
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: absolutely right. That is some good buzzing thought, Maya.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Come on, everyone. Follow me outside.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Wow!
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Maya was in awe. It was like being inside a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: shiny golden balloon. All the bees were busy with their work.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Some were cleaning the walls of the beehive. Some dropped
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: pollen into something that looked like a diamond. Some were
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: simply walking in a line. Well, now, you all will
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: be assigned work. The ones cleaning the walls are the cleaners.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Then we have the collector bees, the worker bees.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Why do we all have to work?
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: What kind of a bee are you? Bees don't ask questions.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, don't be so rude, Julian.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: She's just a child.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Maya, we have to work because if we don't, we
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: all will be very confused and useless. If the cleaners
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: don't clean, then the beehive will get dirty. If the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: collector bees don't collect nectar... What is nectar? Honey is
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: made out of the nectar from the flowers.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: There!
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: You see them?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: They are the collector bees. They bring back nectar from
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the flowers, and then the worker bees make honey out
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: The collector bees bring nectar from the flowers, but how
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: do they carry the nectar?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, you sweet little child. In their honey stomach, of course.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: We all have one. Oh, is that why I feel
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: hungry right now?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, not at all. That's your food stomach.
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: If we keep entertaining her, we will be stuck here
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: all day.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Why can't we be standing here all day?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Days passed. All the newbies were given different jobs. Some
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: cleaned the beehive from the inside. Some cleared the dry
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: leaves outside. Some collected nectar from flowers. Some guarded the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: hive against predators. Everyone had a fixed place. Except for Maya.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: She always saw things differently. When everyone cleaned the walls
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: with their hands, she would just blow at the walls
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and consider the work done. And when the bees would
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: walk in a line.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Why are you troubling me?
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: Oh, everyone is worried that I can't find my place.
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: So I am trying to see if I can walk
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: like you do.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Well, you are doing it absolutely wrong.
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: Um, but you are you and I am me. How
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: can I walk the way you do? Tell me, can
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: you walk like this?
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, of course I can.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: See?
• 4:41
  Speaker 9: Oh, no.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: What am I doing? You child are distracting me. What
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: kind of a bee are you? Oh no, I am
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: left behind.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Cassandra, the worker bee, and even the queen herself could
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: not place Maya anywhere. She would just look at everything
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in awe and ask a lot of questions.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: What's on your head, big bee?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: You can't talk to the queen like that. I am
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: so sorry, your majesty.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Tell me, Maya, why can't you work where we want
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: you to?
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: Um, I don't know. Everybody here is always so busy.
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: They just work, work, work, work, work.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I don't feel happy when I see them.
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: But I felt happy that day when I fell from
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: that diamond thing.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: And swoosh, and swoosh, I flew.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And round and round I went. My dream is to fly,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to go outside and see the world. Oh, my.
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: What is she blabbering about?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Dream? Happy?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: What kind of a bee are you?
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Bees don't dream.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, your majesty, forgive me. She means no harm. I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: have been trying to place her myself, but she keeps
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: talking about going out. Maybe that's what she really wants.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: That is what she must be good at.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: We can send her out to collect nectar.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: Asking a bee what she wants to be, that's a first.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: And also very confusing.
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: Bees' places are assigned as soon as they are hatched.
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: But if this is good for the beehive, so be it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: She is old enough to be sent out to collect nectar.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Train her well and let her out. Yes, your majesty.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And so, Maya was taught everything about flowers. She was
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: then trained to follow the swarm of bees. She was
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: warned repeatedly to never fly alone. And lastly, she was
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: warned about the hornets. The hornets were the sworn enemies
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: of the bees. They would always try to steal honey
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and hurt the bees.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: We can sting them if they hurt us, right?
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: The hornets are getting smarter, Maya. They wear armors every
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: time they attack us. Only their neck can be stung
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: as they don't wear helmets. But hardly any bee has
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: managed to sting a hornet in a war. You take
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: good care not to be found by them, okay?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I will take care.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Maya waved goodbye to Cassandra and left with the swarm.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: This was her first trip outside the beehive. The moment
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: she stepped out, Maya was in awe. The trees, the ferns,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the flowers.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's so beautiful out here. I could just buzz
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: here all day.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Shh.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: We are here to work, Maya.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Not to just keep buzzing around.
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: Just make sure you are always around your swarm.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: But Maya wasn't listening. She was busy enjoying her first flight.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, what's that?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: It's so shiny.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, so sorry.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I didn't know there was someone there. Hi, I'm Maya
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the bee. And you? Oh, you too look like a
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: bee to me.
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: And you are pretty lovely, I must say. Oh, wait.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Are you copying me? That's very mean of you. Oh,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: you hurt me. You are being very rude.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Well, well, well. Look what we have here. A human
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: disguised as a bee. Dis... dis.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: what?
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Disguised. Meaning you are a human under the clothes of
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: a bee.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: But I am a bee. I'm not a human. And
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: this is also a bee, but a very rude.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: One at that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: That's your reflection, dummy. She is not being rude. You
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: are being rude to yourself. It's all in your head,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: just like a human. Trust me, they themselves create most
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: of their problems. Anyhoo... What are you doing here?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, I am being rude.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: My name is Maya.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Maya the Bee! I know. I heard you when you
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: introduced yourself to yourself before.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, right. Actually, I was out with my swarm to
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: collect honey.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: My swarm. I got away.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: They're all gone. Wait a minute. You lost your way
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: while you were with your swarm? What kind of a
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: bee are you? What will you do now?
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know.
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: I will collect some nectar and find my way back home,
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: I guess.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Well, there is a good bunch of juicy flowers over
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: there you can try.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Aw, it's so kind of you to help me out.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Mr.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Grasshopper.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: The name is Hopper. Flip-hopper. Oh, of course.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Flip-hopper. Thank you.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Maya collected all honey she could and buzzed her way
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: back home. She flew through the tall trees and bushes,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and yet it was a long way to go.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, I am tired. Maybe I can rest somewhere for
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: a while. I can keep flying later.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Just then, Little Maya was looking for a flower.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Let me go!
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: Let me go! Not so soon, you little bee. Queen
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: is going to be so happy with me.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Us!
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Us! She is going to be so happy with us.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: We found a cute little bee.
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: Don't call her cute, you idiot. She is our sworn enemy.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, you were right. That little ugly bee with cute eyes.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Let's just go.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: The hornets locked up Maya in a small room. Maya
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: was very scared and tried to run away, but failed.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: What do I do now?
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Shh!
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: This is a very secret plan, okay? Listen, we are
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: going to teach those bees a lesson tomorrow.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, should I carry my red pen?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: What?
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: No, not that lesson. We are going to attack their
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: beehive tomorrow. Be ready. Oh, what to do about the
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: one we caught?
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: We will see what to do about her tomorrow morning.
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: Come on now, let's go and help the guards.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: The hornets were not aware that Maya was listening to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: their plan.
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: No, they are going to attack my hive.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: No, I cannot lose hope. I have to save my family.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: That night, Maya could not sleep. She kept thinking of
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: what to do next.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: How do I stop the hornets?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Only their neck can be stung as they don't wear helmets.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: But hardly any bee has managed to sting a hornet
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: in a war.
• 13:07
  Speaker 9: Wait!
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I've got it!
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: As the sun rose, the hornet came to Maya's room.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Hey, little bee! Wait! Where is she?
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: Ha!
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: That's what you get for calling me ugly! I have
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to warn the queen!
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Maya flew as fast as she could and reached her hive.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: She narrated the whole incident to the queen.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, no! Quickly, alert the guards. We have to stay prepared.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: The hive was now ready for the attack. When the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: hornets came, the bees attacked with full energy. They flew
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: from above and stung the hornets' necks. Maya had taught
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the bees well. The hornets were all confused and dazed.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Fall back!
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Fall back! They ran away in no time.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Yay! We won!
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Where are you going, Hornet?
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Bees are the best. Bees are the best. Bees are
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the best.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: We are all very thankful to you, Maya.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: It's your bravery and intelligence that saved us today.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: This is my home. I will do anything to protect it.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Ooh, my child. I am so proud of you.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Tell me, what do you want to become when you
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: grow up?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I want to be a teacher. I will tell all.
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: The bees about my experiences and teach them to be
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: their kind of bees.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Their kind of bees?
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Yes!
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Everyone keeps asking me, what kind of a bee are you?
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I am.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: My kind of bee. And so are all of us.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: I want to be my kind of a bee, too.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Your kind of a bee is boring. Be my kind
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: of a bee.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: Well, Maya, you are a good teacher for sure. And
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: we are happy to have you back.
