    A bee flies close. Most people tense up. Even grown-ups.

    But what if you knew what it was actually doing?

    Tonight, we follow a bee smaller than your fingertip, covered in soft fuzzy hairs, almost always on her way somewhere.

    Inside the hive, bees build perfect hexagons and use a “waggle dance” to tell each other, in complete darkness, exactly where the flowers are.

    By the end, a bee flying near you won’t feel dangerous.

    Just busy. Just trying to get home.

    Like you, tonight.
