CHILDREN’S COMEDY. Friends, bees, and fellow insects, lend me your antennae! Tomorrow is the Queen bee’s birthday and Bentley, the beehive’s arc-hive-ist, has forgotten! But don’t worry an antennae on your head. All the busy bees swarm together to make the hive jive just in time for Queenie’s birthday: Beatrice polishes and cleans the honeycomb, Berry invites the butterflies, Bertram creates an assorted honey menu, Betty invites the ants, Bree arranges for the crickets to chirp the music, and the party-crashing grasshoppers tear up the dance floor with their dance moves. The party turns out to be the bee’s knees and one un-bee-lievable party! Perfect for young children.
