Bible Bees is a sing-along children’s movie that incorporates various life lessons into the interactions of the characters. Two little curious bees, Sunny and Petal, are about to have the best time of their lives. Sharing stories is a great pastime, but sharing stories about God is greater. You know bumblebees, and you know honeybees; now get ready to meet the Bible Bees. Queen Buttercup is proud of both of them. Soon after Sunny and Petal tell Queen Buttercup about how Bailey the dog helped them find a new clover field, they realized they forgot to thank Bailey. Chomps, the field mouse, teaches the two little bees the importance of gratitude from the perspective of the Bible. Their choice to show Bailey their appreciation leads them into a brand new field they never knew about, and they realize their gratitude has led them into more than they ever could have imagined. Other stories that follow teach the little bees the importance of telling the truth, helping their friends, apologising for what they have done wrong, dealing with surprises and failures, being ignored, being bullied, walking through adversity with their friends and reminding them of the Lord in the meantime, among others. The cinematography will engage young children as the camera angles are constantly changing to follow the bees, which are continually flying from place to place.
In this era where various television channels show animated movies that can easily compromise children’s morals, Bible Bees will entertain and educate children about the Word of God. The movie is out in theatres around the world this month, and later on DVDs. It is also highly recommended for a family watch.
