1
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Wow, the city is busy today, so many cars and

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: tall buildings.

3
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: Yes, Philly, it's very different from being out in the

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 2: suburbs away from downtown. It was a great idea to

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: do some sight seeing in the city today.

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: Yes, do you hear that buzzing sound? What is it? Oh, Joe,

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: it's a bee.

8
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: Ah wait, don't panic everyone. Welcome to Storytime by Lingo Kids,

9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 2: where we discover fascinating facts about the world around us

10
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: and the fun of play learning. Join us on our

11
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: trip to the city and find out why bees are

12
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 2: our friends.

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: The bee is coming after us. It wants this thing.

14
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: It's okay, everyone calmed down. The bee doesn't want to

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: hurt you. It's just passing by.

16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: How do you know?

17
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: Well, bees aren't violent, cawie.

18
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: But sometimes they sting.

19
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: That's true, elliot. But they only sting if they feel attacked.

20
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: They do it to protect themselves or their homes. The

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: best thing to do is avoid fast movement and don't

22
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: try to hit the bee. If it doesn't feel threatened,

23
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: it shouldn't sting you.

24
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Huh okay, foo fess good. So where do bees live?

25
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: Well, usually they live in bee hives. Bees are very

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: hard workers and they're amazing builders. They build their own

27
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: beehives by working together. That's a lot of work for

28
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: mister B. Actually, Lisa, this is miss or missus B.

29
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: Most bees are female, including the world bees and the

30
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: Queen of course, So if you see a busy working bee,

31
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: it's a female.

32
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: This missus B must be a very busy bee.

33
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: Yes, elliot. In fact, that's why we call people busy

34
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: bees whenever they're busy and working hard, just like bees.

35
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: Where do busy bees build their hives.

36
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: Well, they'll usually build them in trees and areas that

37
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: are near flowers.

38
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: Why why do bees like flowers so much?

39
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: Well, flowers have a liquid called nectar. It's kind of

40
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: like a sweet syrup or sugary water, and bees love

41
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: to eat it. In fact, it's one of the most

42
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: important parts of a bee's diet.

43
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: Oh watch out, cawie, the bee landed on your shoulder.

44
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 2: Help me Stay calm everyone, Remember, don't make any sudden movements.

45
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: The best thing you can do is stay calm so

46
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: that the bee doesn't feel attacked. After all, the bee

47
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 2: is our friend.

48
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: But why did it land on my shoulder?

49
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: Well, Cowie, it's probably because your shirt is a bright color.

50
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: You see. Bees are attracted to bright colors like purples

51
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: and blues because flowers are those colors too. It's probably

52
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: looking for a flower to land on.

53
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm not a flower, missus bab. I don't see any

54
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: flowers around here.

55
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: It's tough being a city bee because there aren't as

56
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: many flowers and trees as there are in the suburbs

57
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: or in the countryside. Maybe we can help it find

58
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: some flowers.

59
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: Why should we help it? It scared me.

60
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure it didn't mean to Cowie. Bees are our friends.

61
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 2: They're actually very important and they do so much for us.

62
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: Cause they make honey.

63
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: Well, yes, elliot, that's important, but they do a lot more.

64
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: Have you heard of pollen?

65
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: Yes, I've heard the zat it too. It makes me sneeze.

66
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: Pollen is a special yellow powder that you can find

67
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: on flowers, plants, and trees if you like. It's a

68
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: plant's super powder that helps them grow loud. But here's

69
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 2: the challenge. Trees and plants need to pass their pollen

70
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: to other trees and plants, but they can't move from

71
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: one place to another, So how can they get pollen

72
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: from their flowers to another tree's flowers.

73
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: Bees. That's right.

74
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: Bees travel from flower to flower, looking for nectar to

75
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 2: eat and collecting the super powder for trees and plants that.

76
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: Is called old pollen.

77
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: That's right. And when they land on another plant, that

78
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: pollen falls onto it.

79
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: Amazing. They really are busy bees.

80
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: Yes, bees really are amazing. This process of spreading pollen

81
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: is called pollination, and the animals who help with pollination

82
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: are called pollinators.

83
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: That makes sense. So bees are polygoned.

84
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 2: Almost but yes, elliot, bees are pollinators. Without them, we

85
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: would lose so many of our foods like nuts, vegetables, fruits,

86
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: and other things that come from trees that we depend on.

87
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: Bees really are our friends. Let's help this bee find

88
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: a flower. Follow us.

89
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: It's hard to find flowers in the city, pie. Yes. Unfortunately,

90
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: as cities grow and natural green areas are destroyed, bees,

91
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: along with other animals, lose their homes.

92
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: Yes, Billy, I see it.

93
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: There's a part over there with lots of the beautiful flowers.

94
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: Let's go, missus B.

95
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: Well done, everyone, We've helped our friend find the flowers.

96
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: Thank you for all you do for us, Missus B.

97
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: And bye bye now bye bye, missus B. We've all

98
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: been busy bees today. I hope the next time you

99
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 2: hear the you will know what to do. Let us

100
