Until, that is, she meets Bessie, a talking honeybee, who is next in line to her colony's throne. Bessie is a princess with attitude, but they become firm friends when Bea saves Bessie from an insecticide attack by her horrid next door neighbour, Miss Bacon. Then Bea finds out that developers plan to destroy the woods where Bessie lives to build a shopping mall. Can she and Bessie save the woods and the wild bee colony from destruction in time? This is a fun fantasy adventure story for 8 - 12 year olds, with lots of fascinating bee facts, a bee quiz and a right Royal twist at the end."
