Bee Shaffer

[thenewnio]

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.
