Synopsis
Maya is a little bee with a big heart. She dreams of an exciting life of freedom, fun and adventure – the world is simply far too interesting to stay inside a hive! Her funny attempts to fit in bring her into trouble with the Queen’s narrow-minded royal advisor, Buzzlina. With her best friend Willy, Maya buzzes out into the meadow on an exhilarating adventure of self-discovery.

While most bees believe that other insects should be feared, Maya can’t help but make friends with Flip the charismatic and eccentric grasshopper, Kurt the dung beetle and even Sting, a young hornet. But when the Queen’s royal jelly is stolen, it will take Maya and all of her bug buddies to figure out who did it and how to save the day!

My review:
SO CUTE!!  That is honestly the first words that pop into my mind after watching this with my kiddos.  Maya is a lovable character who is not only warmhearted.  She teaches the most important values and is always herself no matter what.
Maya is a great role model, because she lets us know it is okay to be different.
And it had my kiddos giggling too.  The characters are charming.  The story line is exciting for young viewers and the overall message is meaningful.
