cbeebies shows anytime anywhere you like on the bbc iplayer app once there was a bear called norman
who loved honey he really really really loved it and he was always sad when it ran out
but getting hold of more honey was always a bit tricky if only i could be a bee he sighed
i could have as much honey as i liked and then norman had a quite amazing and brilliant idea
it was an ordinary morning at bee school hello bees said the queen who was in charge
we have a new bee at bee school today
oooh
said the little bees everyone say hello to norman hello said norman
ooooooooh
said the little bees aren't you a bit big asked amelia who was a rather clever little bee um
i'm a special bee said norman i come from a land far far away called giant bee land
hmm said amelia but then it was time for lessons to start they began the day with some painting
then norman joined in with the buzzing practice before everyone settled down for a nap
the bees showed him all sorts of games during playtime and norman was brilliant
at waggly dancing and then it was time to go home bee school is amazing thought norman
he couldn't wait to come back the next day and the next morning was even better
norman was very good at finding smelly flowers
the bees really liked him he was so funny and friendly and he always tried his best
even during flying lessons after lunch the bees learned how to chase away anyone who came after
their honey like spiders mice toads or bears
amelia still felt there was something a bit odd about norman she tried to work out what it was
amelia told the other bees what she had found out but they didn't believe her of
course norman's a bee they said just look at him he is not a bee and i shall prove it said amelia
she took norman to the bee's secret honey store well when he saw all that honey
norman just couldn't help himself after all he really really really loved
honey see norman isn't a bee he's a bear said amelia what the jiggins gassed all the little bees
said norman he was asked to leave bee school at once but with norman gone
things were very quiet at bee school norman was such a funny bee sighed the bees norman was such
a busy bee sighed amelia norman was a naughty bear said the queen and bee school is no place for bears
but later that night the bees heard a loud crash and a diabolical waaaa
oh no they cried it's a bear and this bear was big and nasty and trampled all over bee school
it grabbed the hive and started to shake it the bees tumbled out
in a panic they tried to chase the bear away but it was just too big and too bad
but then a fearsome buzzing beast burst through the trees
buzz
eek squealed the bear it's a giant bee and it ran away as fast as it could
the bees were saved and norman was a hero they gave him a big
pot of honey and the queen presented him with a special award you definitely aren't a bee
said the queen but you are no ordinary bear you are i think a bumblebear
and bumblebears were definitely allowed to go back to bee school
so by being brave norman became the bumblebear and was welcomed back to bee school and the bees
accepted him despite him being different so remember be who you want to be i'll be back
soon for another bedtime story but for now i hope you have the sweetest of dreams good night
