Little bee Pip loves bee school but is sad that she doesn’t have a special talent. Her waggle dance isn’t waggly enough. Her buzz is too quiet and even the new bee Alfie can fly faster than Pip can!
When Pip’s teacher announces the class honey making competition, Pip wonders whether honey making could be her special skill. After Pip’s homemade honey mysteriously goes missing, she makes a surprising discovery about herself . . .
