Along With The Bees

Young Niko Bradley lives with her older sister Daniela and her widowed mother Hallie in a town by the sea. One summer day, while gathering sea glass on the beach, Niko accidentally disturbs a shell which is actually a summer home for Piccolo, a crab who has learned magic from his deceased owner. When Niko later returns to retrieve the shell, Piccolo, appearing before her in human form, transforms her into a honeybee as punishment. After failing to get Daniela’s attention, Niko is caught by the Bradleys’ beekeeping neighbor, Mr. Shaffer, who places her with the other bees in his hive. There, Niko meets other bees, Kava, Bleta, Phung and the drone bee Diden, who learn of her true nature as a human and tell her of Piccolo’s origins. She also learns of the Witch of the Wood, who lives deep in the forest. The queen bee Mesilane gives the bees permission to consult Piccolo, but he is not powerful enough to change Niko back; They thus resort to seeking out the Witch of the Wood. Along the way, two venomous spiders, the dreaded seven-legged Mr. Cavatica and his new mate Mrs. Weaver, try to devour Niko, but she is accidentally saved by a rookie dragonfly whom she names Flash. Having heard stories of the Witch from some ants as a nymph, Flash agrees to lead the bees to the nearby anthill. Once there, they are mistaken for a threat and Niko is dragged into the anthill to meet Queen Ari. Upon learning of Niko’s predicament, Ari’s daughter, Princess Foumi, asks for permission to lead the group to the Witch, which Ari grants. After evading the Witch’s familiar, Aponi the parrot, the insects meet the Witch herself, Chandra, but she informs them that the curse can only be broken by an act of love and courage. Crestfallen, Niko returns to her house, only to encounter the timid cockroach Scrap, who leads her to overhear Mrs. Weaver and Mr. Cavatica's plot to kill her family to take over the house for their offspring. After Mrs. Weaver leaves, Mr. Cavatica becomes aware of Niko’s presence and attacks her, only to be killed by her stinger. After Niko destroys the spider eggs and reunites with the other insects, they resolve to save Niko’s family from Mrs. Weaver, and rally the rest of Shaffer’s bees to help. That night, a grieving Mrs. Weaver attempts to bite and kill a sleeping Daniela. However, she is distracted by Flash and Niko, who lure her outside, where the other bees lay in wait. They corner Mrs. Weaver, but rain suddenly begins to fall. In the ensuing chaos, Mrs. Weaver targets Niko, who lures the spider to a bird's nest. There, Mrs. Weaver manages to bite off the tip of Niko’s stinger, but is torn apart by the birds, while Niko is washed away by the rain. As a result of her heroic actions, she is restored to human form just as the bugs, joined by Chandra, Aponi and Piccolo, find her the next morning. With the threat of the spiders defeated, Niko feels sorry for having to leave her new friends, so Chandra allows them to be resurrected as humans at the end of their natural lifespans. Niko then returns home and reunites with her family. Later in the year, her insect friends, now human, reunite with her individually, now living with Chandra.

Chapter 4

The police came to the Bradley house upon getting the call that Niko had disappeared.

Hallie and Daniela explained everything that has happened last night to the cops: How the youngest daughter had seemingly vanished into thin air, how they went up and down the trail leading to the beach searching for her, and how, after all their efforts were in vain, they had resorted to calling the authorities.

“We’ll find her, ma’am,” the sergeant promised. “Don’t you worry.”

Mr. Shaffer was crestfallen when he heard the news. “I wish I could help,” he told the Bradleys. All he could do was offer his condolences.

Little did he know that the missing girl was observing all this from the bees’ entrance to his hive. Wait for me, Niko thought. I’ll be back home as soon as I can.

“Are you sure you wanna come with us, Phung?” Bleta asked. “You’ve already damaged your eye protecting the honey. Remember that marauder bee?”

“Hey, if being half-blind hasn’t stopped me from foraging, it sure as heck won’t keep me from helping Niko!” Phung reassured.

“Alright.” Kava turned to the others. “We ready to do this?”

“I’m ready!” Diden crowed.

“No, you ain’t!” Phung shot back.

“Who said you’re coming with us?” Kava questioned.

“C’mon, let the guy come along!” Niko appealed to them. “If he wants to go, let him go.”

After a moment’s consideration, Kava relented. “Fine,” she sighed, before adding under her breath “Every swarm needs comic relief, I suppose.”

Thus, the five bees (four of whom were of Clan Shaffer) set out to find Piccolo. Along the way, Bleta fretted “I hope things work out. I don’t want my big sister to get any more hurt --- or worse.”

“I told you, I’ll be fine!” Phung told her. “You don’t have to worry.”

After flying for some time, they arrived at the beach where Niko was transformed. The shell that was Piccolo’s Summer house was back where she had first found it.

“Well, here goes...” Niko prepared herself, then called out “HEY PICCOLO! GET OUT HERE!”

“Niko...!” Kava began, half-panicking.

A crab scuttered out of the shell. Regarding the bees with familiar dark eyes, he spoke. “Well, if it isn’t the girl who upset my vacation spot.”

That was the voice of the stranger she had met for sure. “Listen,” Niko professed. “I had no idea that this was your place. In my defense, that shell’s pretty enough to be a souvenir. The point is... I’m sorry for messing it all up.”

The crab wizard paused, before saying “I suppose I can forgive you for that.”

“So, can you turn me back now?” Niko pleaded. “My family already called the police and-”

To her dismay, Piccolo only responded “I’m afraid not. As of late, my talent lies in casting spells, not breaking them.”

“Wh- Are you kidding me?!” Niko protested. “You didn’t study that far enough?!”

“I was studying when you shook me out of my spot,” Piccolo argued. “If you hadn’t done that, you wouldn’t be in this situation. Now, if you don’t leave and figure out the curse yourself right now, I’ll have no other choice but to insert my larger claw into you.”

“That’s gotta hurt.” Phung winced.

“But what about-”

“Bye.” Piccolo cut Niko off before disappearing back into his Summer home. She sighed.

“So...” Diden suggested. “How about that Plan Bee?”

In celebration of their milestone, Rihanna and Rocky took an excursion through their home town of Harlem together to reveal her bump. Their relationship was born in 2012, when they appeared as love interest in Rocky's music clip for "Fashion Killa."
