Bee Kind

We will be happy if we are kind to other boys and girls and this will make Jesus very happy too!

Memory Verse:

Ephesians 4:32, "Be kind to everyone."

Age Group:

Preschool to Grade 2.

One day in spring there was trouble in the hive.  There was no honey to feed the baby bees!  Everyone flew around anxiously, but there were no flowers as there had been no rain.  BusyBee was a little worker bee who had looked everywhere, but couldn't find a single flower.

Then one sunny morning he flew over a farmer’s lands and what did he see, a whole bed full of flowers that the farmer’s wife had carefully watered!  "Yippy!" he cried and dived into the nearest flower.  BusyBee drank and drank until his tummy was full of nectar.  At last he flew back to the hive as happy as a bee can be.  When he got there, thought to himself, "I won't tell anyone so that I can have all the flowers to myself!

BusyBee flew to where the queen-bee was laying eggs and chose a honeycomb cell where a white egg lay and filled it with the honey he had made.  When he finished, he flew to the hive entrance where his friends were waiting.  When he saw how worried they were about the lack of food, he felt bad inside.  The hive needed food and he was being unkind.  He knew that we must share what we have with others, don’t we boys and girls?  We need to be kind to our friends and let them play with our toys, even our best ones.

BusyBee quickly told all other bees to follow him and flew back to the garden.  What a surprise they had - there were flowers and flowers.  There were red ones, yellow ones and every colour you could think of.  The bees joyfully got to work gathering nectar.  Soon the hive was buzzing with happy bees and there was plenty of food for all the baby bees.  BusyBee was happy as he watched and was glad that he had been kind and shared his flowers with his friends.

And children, you will be happy if you are kind to other boys and girls and this will make Jesus very happy too!

God bless!
