🐝 The Day the Flowers Frowned (A Whimsical Tale About Why We Need Bees)

Once upon a buzz, in a field full of flowers and sunshine, the petals were pouting.

The daisies drooped. The sunflowers sighed. Even the tulips looked tired.

“What’s going on?” asked CurBee, zipping through the meadow on his way to a very important race.

“The bees are missing,” whispered a wilting daffodil. “No buzz, no pollen, no party.”

HoniBee flew in, landing gently on a leaf. “No bees?” she gasped. “But we’re right here!”

“Not enough of you,” the roses replied, their thorns drooping too. “Bees are disappearing. And without bees… we can’t grow.”

🐝 The Bees Held a Meeting

That very night, under a glowing full moon and the flicker of fireflies, the DoBees called a hive meeting.

“Without bees, flowers don’t bloom,” said BabyBee. “And without flowers, there’s no nectar!”

“And without nectar,” CurBee added, “there’s no honey!”

The bees all gasped. No honey?!
No pollination?
No blueberries?!?

“Humans need us,” said HoniBee softly. “And we need them too.”

🌍 What the Bees Decided

So the DoBees made a plan.

They would teach the humans:

• Not to squash bees

• Not to spray their flowers with harmful chemicals

• And to plant more blooms—sunflowers, lavender, clover, and more!

They’d spread the word that bees are helpers, not pests.
That we carry life on our wings.
That tiny things can do huge things.

💛 How You Can Help the DoBees

If you’ve ever eaten an apple, picked a pumpkin, or enjoyed a bite of chocolate—you can thank a bee.

So here’s how to help them stick around:

✅ Plant bee-friendly flowers (even in pots!)
✅ Skip the pesticides
✅ Buy local honey
✅ Leave a little water in a shallow dish with pebbles for bees to rest
✅ And never swat a bee—it might be BillyBee just buzzing by

✨ Final Buzz

Next time you see a bee, give it a little wave.
That might just be one of the DoBees, hard at work—helping the world bloom one flower at a time.
