If you love critters of all shapes and sizes, 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 2: I need you on our Critter Protector team. Join our 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 2: adventure as we learn about critters from around the world and. 7 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: In our back yards. Well, my friends, are you ready 8 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: for today's adventure? Me too? Let's go. On the last episode, 9 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: we saw how Buzzy. I don't think she made a 10 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: very good choice. She took off flying from her hive 11 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: in a storm, and her sister warned her that that 12 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: was not a good idea, but she didn't listen. And 13 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: oh dear, she's in quite the situation. But there's been 14 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: many clues all ready, namely that she lives in a hive, 15 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: she was going to find nectar, and it seems like 16 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 1: she has wings and can fly. And I'm not sure 17 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: exactly what kind of critter Buzzy is. Let's see what 18 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: happens next. Buzzy was starting to fly downward very quickly. 19 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: Her little wings weren't any match for all the rain. 20 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: They were completely soaked through, could no longer keep flapping 21 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: or too heavy. Buzzy closed her eyes. She couldn't look 22 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: because she was so scared. Just when Buzzy didn't think 23 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: she would make it, her six legs touched something. It 24 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: felt very hard and cold, but it didn't feel like grass. 25 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: It was a branch. She had made it to the 26 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: oak tree after all. Buzzy was so happy she made 27 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: it to that tree branch. She got so lucky. She 28 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: was terrified to have landed in the grass. That would 29 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: have been terrible. As Buzzy sat on this branch, she 30 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: started to walk to the very innermost part of the 31 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: tree that she could get to, the part closest to 32 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: the trunk. Uh. Now, I won't get wet anymore, she said. 33 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: The branches that leaves should help protect me. Buzzy sat 34 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: and shivered. She should have listened to Sally. Now, instead 35 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: of being inside of her nice, warm hive, she was 36 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: out sitting on a wet tree branch, shivering in the 37 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: cold rain. Buzzy sat on the branch and watched the 38 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: rain continue to come down. Her family was probably so 39 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: scared by now. Sally must have told their parents that 40 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: she was missing. Ohn't know what would they do? Would 41 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: they try to come out? And find her. Oh, Buzzy 42 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: could almost hope that they would come to help, but 43 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: she also didn't want them to lead their hive either. 44 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: It was just way too dangerous. Buzzy's wings were almost 45 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: dry when she heard her name being called out in 46 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: the distance. Buzzy, are you all right? I've come to 47 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: find you. It was Sally. Sally had come to find her. 48 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: I'm here, Sally, I'm in the oak tree, cried out Buzzy. 49 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: Sally started flying with all her might to get to 50 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: that oak tree. Buzzy watched nervously and hoped that she 51 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: would make it all right. When she saw Sally land 52 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: on her branch, she ran over to her. Oh, Sally, 53 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: he were right as way too dangerous to lead the 54 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: hive today. The storm got so bad. I couldn't even 55 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: see where I was going, and my wing cuts so what. 56 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: I couldn't fly anymore. It was so scary. All right, Well, 57 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: let's sit here on the branch while I dry my wings, 58 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: and then we'll go back home. We can always fly 59 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: to Flower Valley tomorrow, said Sally. She had flown from 60 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: the hive and her wings were also very wet. Now. 61 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: Buzzy and Sally sat on the branch and watched the 62 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: rest of the storm. As their wings started to dry off, 63 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: the storm started to light up. The rain started to 64 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: come down very slowly, and the sky wasn't so dark anymore. 65 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: I think the storm is about to stop. Let's try 66 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: to get back to the hive now, said Buzzy. Sally agreed, 67 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: and they both began to fly back to the hive together. 68 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: It wasn't so hard to fly now that the rain 69 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: was barely coming down. Soon, Buzzy and Sally made it 70 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: back to the hive. Once they flew in and started 71 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: to dry their wings, their parents rushed up to find them. 72 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: All right, a second, hold on, hold on, friends, We've 73 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: got to solve this, mister, ree Buzzy and Sally. Hmmm, 74 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 1: do you have any guesses of what kind of critter 75 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: they might be? I've heard many clues. They are flying, 76 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: they seem to live in a big neighborhood called a hive, 77 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: and they seem to like flowers for nectar. Hmmm. Oh, 78 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: I have an idea hummingbirds. Hummingbirds can fly and they 79 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: love nectar. And oh no, they don't live in a hive. 80 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: You're right, I don't think this story is about two hummingbirds. Hmm, 81 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to keep thinking. Oh wait, what did 82 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: you say? You think Buzzy and her sister Sally are honeybees? 83 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: Could that be true? Let's see honey bees they do 84 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: live in a hive, yes, and they do love nectar 85 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: and and flowers. You're right, I think, Buzzy, what's going 86 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: out to get nectar for the hive so that they 87 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: can make honey. Yes, Buzzy and Sally are both honeybees. 88 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: They're amazing critters with some really important jobs, not only 89 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: making honey for themselves to eat, but also pollinating flowers. 90 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: That's an important part of the plant life cycle. If 91 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: the flowers don't get pollinated, then they don't make any seeds, 92 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: and without seeds, then no more flowers, no more bees 93 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: are very important and oh holy smokes. Yes, Buzzy and 94 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: Sally just met up with their parents, and their parents 95 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: look very worried. Buzzy, Sally, where have you been? We've 96 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: been so worried, said their mother. I'm sorry, mom, it's 97 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: it's all my fault. I was bored. I wanted to 98 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: go to Flower Valley, and I didn't want to wait 99 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: for the rain to stop. And Sally told me not to, 100 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: but I didn't have any patience. I'm sorry. Oh my wow, 101 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: how do you think Buzzy feels right now? She just 102 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: disobeyed one of her parents' very important rules. And oh, 103 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: she probably feels really guilty. Have you ever felt that before? Yeah, 104 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: that can be a really big feeling. Oh, Buzzy, I 105 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: know that you don't like to sit in the hive 106 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: on rainy days, but it's for your protection. When our 107 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: wings get wet, we can't fly anymore. And if we 108 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: can't fly, we get stranded somewhere very dangerous, said their mother. 109 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: I know that's exactly what happened to me. I got 110 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: stranded in a tree, and Sally she found me. She 111 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: saved me. I don't want either of you to leave 112 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: the hive and the rain again. I just could never 113 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: live with anything bad happening to you. Okay. They were 114 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: both very sorry for leaving the hive in the rain. 115 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: They had made a big mistake. But don't worry, girls, 116 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: the weather looks like it's starting to get better. When 117 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: the sun comes out, we will all go to Flower 118 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: Valley with the rest of the colony. Everyone else would 119 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: like to get some nectar two. Buzzy and Sally smiled. 120 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: Going to Flower Valley together with the hives sounded much 121 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: better than going out alone in the rain. They had 122 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: learned a very important lesson that day that they would 123 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: never forget. We'll be right back after a brief word 124 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: from our sponsor. Great job, you listened all the way 125 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: to the end. Wow, did you solve the mystery about 126 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: who they were? Yes, honey bees are amazing gritters. Here's 127 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: a crazy fact. There's one color in the rainbow that 128 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: bees can not see. Do you know what color that is? No, 129 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: it's not blue, it's not green or yellow. It's red. 130 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: Bees cannot see the color red like you and I can. Wow. 131 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: That's pretty wild. Well, friends, I hope you all have 132 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: a super duper DA and I'm gonna keep my eyes 133 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: out for some busy bees today buzzing around hoping to 134 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: avoid the rain.
