Milkshake! Story Den

Kemi narrates the tale of Ben, a grouchy child who refuses to share his toys. When Beelinda the honeybee reduces him to the size of a bee, he sees how all her buzzing companions work together in their hive, for the benefit of all.

Bee Kind is a programme presented in an episodic format. It forms part of a series that uses short, self‑contained stories to convey simple lessons to a young audience. The episode in question is narrated by Kemi, who guides viewers through the events as they unfold. The central narrative follows a child called Ben, who is characterised as rather grumpy because he refuses to share his toys with anyone. One day, Beelinda—a friendly honeybee—decides to intervene. She uses her magical abilities to shrink Ben down to the size of a bee, giving him a new perspective on the world. While he’s tiny, Beelinda introduces him to her bustling community of fellow bees, showing how each of them works together in harmony. Through this encounter, Ben gets a firsthand look at the cooperative spirit of Beelinda’s “buzzy buddies.” The episode highlights the contrast between Ben’s solitary, selfish behaviour and the collective effort of the bee colony. By observing the insects’ teamwork, Ben is presented with an alternative way of interacting with others. In the closing moments, the story circles back to the original lesson: sharing and cooperation can make playtime more enjoyable for everyone. Kemi’s narration ties the experience together, reinforcing the idea that even a small change in perspective can lead to kinder behaviour.
