Why do bees sting?
What a good question
Let's follow this bee and find out
Hello there Mrs Bee
You do seem like you're a very busy bee indeed
Do you think you could find time to answer our question?
You could?
Fantastic!
What is it that you're quite so busily up to?
You're busy collecting special ingredients
Ingredients from the flowers
I see
But ingredients for what?
I know, honey!
Ah, you're collecting ingredients for making honey
Is that right?
Oh boy, I love honey
Bunny, honey in my tummy
Hmm, Mrs Bee
That bear isn't hiding very well, is he?
What do you think he's looking for?
Mrs Bee, I really must know
Why do you sometimes sting?
Because it actually really, really hurts
What? It hurts you too?
It hurts you when you sting?
What? You die when you sting?
Oh Mrs Bee, how sad!
But then why, oh why
Especially if you die
Would you sting someone?
If they made you angry, or scared?
You sting when you're angry or scared?
What kind of things would make you angry or scared, then, Mrs Bee?
Ah, the bear getting close to your home
You're scared that the bear will eat all your honey
What? Do bears eat the honey and the babies too
And that makes you angry, doesn't it?
Well, no wonder!
If the bear did that, you'd not only have no honey to eat
You'd have no bees to grow up and help you make it either
Would you, Mrs Bee? (Huh?)
Looks like that bear won't be back any time soon
Thank you so much for helping us answer our question
Thank you, Mrs Bee
(Oh!)
