Scene 1:
**Buzz:** *(frantically flying)* Ollie! Disaster has struck! My honey is gone—vanished into thin air!
**Ollie:** *Hoo-hoo!* A mystery indeed. Where did you last see it?
**Buzz:** Yesterday—right before I decided to *hide* it in a *super-secret* location so no one else could find it!
**Ollie:** *Hoo-hoo!* And now even *you* can’t find it?
**Buzz:** *Exactly!* Maybe… *just maybe*… I should tell my hive that the ants stole it!

Lesson: Virtue and Honesty
**Ollie:** Buzz! That would be *dishonest*. What does the Bible say?
📖 *Proverbs 10:9 – "He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known."*
**Buzz:** *So if I lie, the truth will come out anyway?*
**Ollie:** *Hoo-hoo!* Exactly. A virtuous bee *tells the truth*, even when it’s hard.

Plot Twist: Buzz’s Realization
Buzz sighs, then suddenly **remembers** where he hid the honey… **behind a rock near the meadow!**
**Buzz:** *Wait!* I DIDN’T lose the honey! I hid it TOO well!
**Ollie:** *Hoo-hoo!* A classic case of forgetting your own tricks!

Ending ( Lesson)
**Buzz:** *So I guess lying would’ve made me look silly when the truth came out!*
**Ollie:** *Hoo-hoo!* Exactly. **Virtue means choosing honesty, even when it’s tempting to take the easy way out.*
*(Buzz gives Ollie a honey jar in gratitude. Ollie nods approvingly while taking a wise sip.)*
---
Conclusion:
📖 **Moral of the story:** *Honesty is always the best choice! Virtue means doing the right thing—even when it’s hard!*
