This is a delightful children's story of a determined honeybee who returns to the honeycomb with nectar only to discover that the nest is being torn apart by a big brown bear eating the honey. The bear continues to scoop up the honey regardless of how hard the other bees sting him. The queen bee vows to marry any bee in the kingdom and make him a king if he can stop the bear from eating the honey.

The excitement begins when "Buzzy" figures out a way to chase the bear off into the woods and never to return again. Needless to say, there is a happy ending for everyone in the story except for the big brown bear.
