Bedtime with Mrs.
Honeybee.
Melody B,
Harold and I are rushing out to the garage because Mr.
Honeybee has called us and he says it's urgent.
Mrs.
Honeybee,
Melody B,
Harold,
Come out here.
Come quick.
What is it Mr.
Honeybee?
Are you okay my dear?
We rush to Mr.
Honeybee who is standing at one of his work benches adjusting a sheet that has been thrown over something massive which sits just beside his workbench.
It just barely fits in the garage and it looks like it's on wheels.
Harold sniffs around the bottom of the sheet that drapes just enough for us not to tell the shape of the thing concealed under it.
Mr.
Honeybee steps a single foot in front of Harold's curious nose to prevent him from gathering too much information.
Not so fast little guy.
You'll see with the rest of them what this is.
The rest of whom my dear?
You and Melody B.
I just finished a new prototype.
Is that what you called us urgently for?
So urgently that it sounded like you were in danger?
I was in danger of not showing you this prototype as quickly as possible.
This is urgent.
My dear,
We're seeing our little honeybees today.
We have to go over the prototype later.
There are so many honeybees and so little time.
Remember last time we used those binoculars?
That helped a lot.
They sure did.
The hot air balloon was good too.
That gave us the perfect view.
We are so lucky to have so many special people in the Honeybee neighborhood.
We have to get creative about how we can see them all in one adventure.
We really do and the neighborhood just keeps growing.
We're going to need new gadgets and gizmos and forms of transportation to see them all.
Which brings us back to this urgent timely prototype.
Oh right right.
Sorry Mr.
Honeybee.
Mrs.
Honeybee,
What if we had some type of rocket that can launch us over the whole world so we could see everyone at the same time?
How would we see them though?
That's a good point.
The hot air balloon was still close enough.
The outer space?
Woof.
That's far.
Hmm.
We'll have to think about this a bit more.
Which brings me back to this urgent timely prototype which will perhaps solve that exact problem.
Oh I see I see.
Mrs.
Honeybee,
What if we have space binoculars so when we're in outer space we can still see the little honeybees?
Melody Bee.
Oh right right.
I'm so sorry Mr.
Honeybee.
Please continue.
I am proud to present the HBNBR-1.
Mr.
Honeybee pulls the sheet off a humongous metal object.
His eyes are sparkling and his proud smile beams as bright as the sunshine.
We match our reaction to his without knowing what exactly we're looking at.
How cool.
A new big metal thing.
What?
This is not just a big metal thing.
This this is the first ever Honeybee neighborhood satellite.
Mr.
Honeybee goes on to explain that this is an Earth observation satellite.
More than just having a webcam in space,
This satellite has infinite zoom capabilities and a panoramic view.
No matter where it is in orbit,
It snaps millions of images at once and puts them all together in one place.
So it travels around the Earth and lets you see everyone on Earth at the same time?
Yes a whole Earth full of little honeybees right here.
Does that mean we will launch into space inside the satellite and be able to see all of our little honeybees no matter where on Earth they are?
Precisely my dear.
Pretty cool right?
Beyond cool Mr.
Honeybee.
You've really outdone yourself my dear.
Well what are we waiting for?
Let's launch.
Come on Harold you too.
Here we go.
Always remember Mrs.
Honeybee believes in you.
You are special and you are loved.
I can't wait to see you again.
