Synopsis

The Very Greedy Bee refuses to share his nectar, spending all day feasting while the other bees work hard. One day, he discovers a meadow full of flowers and indulges so much that he becomes too heavy to fly home. As night falls, he realises he's lost and frightened. With the help of kind fireflies and ants, he returns to his hive, learning the importance of sharing and cooperation.
