BeeBop, a young orphan bee, wants to make a name for himself in the hive that adopted him. But prejudice and an oversized bully bee stand in his way. The hive desperately needs a major nectar find before winter and BeeBop makes the biggest discovery in the history of the hive. He races to the hive to announce the discovery, but nobee beeleaves him, except his one loyal friend. Together, they convince the hive to take a chance and travel a great distance to retrieve the nectar. But, when they arrive, the flowers are gone. Rejected and shamed by the hive, BeeBop must overcome despair, doubt, a bully and even a bear to solve the mystery of the missing flowers and regain the respect of his best friend. Will BeeBop overcome impossible obstacles to save the hive, or will all be lost? This is a story of loyalty, bravery, determination and forgiveness you will want to share with readers of all ages.

"Trust me, you won’t want to miss the epic journey of BeeBop and his hive—it’s a wild ride of emotions that’ll stick with you long after you’ve turned the last page!"
Norm Goldman
Bookpleasures Review/Goodreads Review"Award-winning novelist and Mississippi native Judge Bell weaves together a magical, meaningful, moving and marvelous story…Resplendent with charm, wit, and an engaging, educational storyline, BeeBop: The Honeybee Wannabee Hero includes a Parent and Teacher’s Guide."
The Oxford Eagle
"The story also carries a strong message about the importance of believing in yourself and holding on to hope no matter what, making it a wonderful starting point for shared discussion with young readers. The sketchy black-and-white line drawings help readers see the world from a bee's-eye perspective, and the text is just long and complex enough to challenge readers transitioning from picture-book to chapter-book reading. BeeBop: The Honeybee Wannabee Hero is a sweet and instructive story, perfect for teaching about bullying, family, and belonging."
