The Bee’s Secret Circumstances

Because of his massive build, Blaine is often mistaken for a wasp and feared by everyone. But in truth, he’s a honeybee—more diligent than anyone else. Today, too, he dons his work uniform, stretched to its limits, and flutters tirelessly through the flower fields on his palm-sized wings, collecting nectar.

“Is anyone there? Please help me!”

On his way back from faithfully carrying out his duties as a worker bee, Blaine hears a delicate voice calling for help. Moved by the sound, he rushes to save the beautiful creature in need. But that lovely being turns out to be a ruthless predator—a spider. And all of it… was a trap, meticulously laid to devour him.

Wings trembling, Blaine flails in panic, desperate to escape the snare. As a last resort, he uses his only means of defense—his stinger. But during the struggle, the stinger—precious as a bee’s very life—snaps off with a clean pop.

To make matters worse, the empty-headed spider insists on “treating” him and yanks the broken stinger out.

He can’t die like this. Determined to survive, Blaine sets off on a journey to find a sage known for healing wounded creatures.

But trailing him now is the spider— intent on “devouring” the honeybee again… this time, in a completely different way.
