Every bug has a talent.
When a tribute announcement demanding half the hive’s honey threatens the very survival of the hive, Maya and her sidekick, Willy, defy the queen’s orders and go to Buzztropolis to confront the Empress.
The Empress invites them to participate in the Honey Games, but explains that, if they win, all is forgiven, but if they lose, she will take all of the summer honey.
Maya and Willy’s teammates are neither enthusiastic nor athletic, but Maya remains positive and exclaims that “every bug has a talent!”
While securing her hive’s future and gaining new friends, Maya learns about teamwork, accountability, and overcoming preconceived notions. – Nu Metro
