Bee went out to get pollen from some flowers. Bees do this all the time, but he got lost. Now he cannot find his way back home. It has ruined his day.
Elephant wants to help. She scoops up Bee in her trunk and lifts him up into a tree. There is a nest there. Is that where bees live?
No, birds live in a nest. This bird is mad. It is going to dive and swoop at them until they are far off from its nest. It must have eggs.
Is this Bee's home? It looks a bit dark and scary to Elephant, but maybe bees like to live like that? She has never seen a bee house before.
No, a cave is not a good spot for bees. It makes a really great bat house though! The bats stream out of the mouth of the cave.
Elephant keeps quiet. She can hear a buzz! Over here! This must be a house for bees. There are bees all over it! Elephant lifts Bee up to the odd little shape that is stuck to a tree.
Yes, this is a hive. It is where bees live. What a trial. Elephant is so glad that she was able to help Bee out. He buzzes about with his friends.
But now Elephant needs to get home, and she does not have the first clue of where to go! She put too much focus on where Bee needed to go.
It's ok, Elephant. Bee knows where his home is now. He will be able to take you home. That is what friends are for.
