Birdie the honeybee wants to make friends, but no one will play with her. She can't figure out why, until another bee points out-she doesn't have stripes! Realizing she's different, Birdie does everything to fit in-even using sunflowers to paint yellow stripes on herself.

Nothing works, until one day the honeybees are attacked by a mockingbird-threatening their hive. Birdie come up with a clever plan to scare him away-leaving hundreds of bees in awe of her courage and realizing what it truly means to be different.
