A funny, informative and visually beautiful show created by Beth Kayes and Katie Burson and performed by Mirabai Pease and Katie Burson.

But she never expects to be shrunk and brought into the hive to solve an environmental problem. Phoebe experiences the life of the hive first-hand: the diverse jobs, the hierarchy, the breeding of new queens, the processes of making honey, wax, propolis and of running the bee colony.
