Friendship is meant to ‘bee’ in this un-bee-lievably funny insect caper.

When Bee’s cheerful demeanour lands the pair in a sticky situation, will The Slightly Peckish Caterpillar come to the rescue and free them from the Enormous Hairy Spider who is keen to turn them into a puny bug flavoured juice box…
