In Busy Izzy and the Honey Bee Mystery, the fourth book in the Busy Izzy and Friends series, children meet a new friend: Bluebelle the honey bee. She’s tiny, but her mission is enormous—helping to protect her hive, pollinate plants, and is just like Izzy, who always knew exactly what to do and teaches her friends about teamwork, resilience, and the importance of caring for nature.
Honey bees like Bluebelle aren’t just busy—they’re essential. One out of every three bites of food we eat depends on pollination, and bees are the best pollinators in the world. They help apples, blueberries, pumpkins, cucumbers, and even almonds grow.
When children read about Bluebelle, they discover how these amazing little insects keep our gardens, farms, and food supply thriving. It’s a fun story with a powerful environmental message.
In Busy Izzy and the Honey Bee Mystery, Bluebelle isn’t just another character—she’s a guide and teacher. She shows that even small creatures can make a big difference. Through her adventures, children learn about:
Teamwork – bees work together in harmony to care for the hive.
Problem-solving – facing challenges like pests and predators.
Kindness and care – looking after one another and the environment.
These lessons are woven into an exciting adventure that keeps children engaged while sparking their curiosity about the natural world.
Bluebelle’s world is buzzing with amazing science! Did you know?
A honey bee can visit up to 5,000 flowers in one day.
Worker bees like Bluebelle live for around six busy weeks in summer.
Honey bees communicate by dancing—their famous “waggle dance” shows other bees where to find nectar.
Bees have five eyes and can see ultraviolet light, which helps them spot flowers.
These fascinating facts make honey bees even more magical to children who meet Bluebelle in the story.
Teachers, parents, and carers can use Busy Izzy and the Honey Bee Mystery as a gentle way to talk about environmental care. By meeting Bluebelle, children learn that pollinators are vital to life on Earth—and that even the smallest among us can create a big impact.
Books like this help children develop empathy, environmental awareness, and problem-solving skills—all while enjoying a colourful, heart warming story.
Just like Bluebelle, every child has something important to offer the world. Through kindness, curiosity, and teamwork, they can achieve amazing things. That’s the heart of Busy Izzy and Friends—stories that inspire children to believe in themselves and to care for the world around them.
✨ Bluebelle the honey bee is proof that even the tiniest heroes can make the biggest difference.
Just like Izzy, Bluebelle knows what to do,
She’s clever and quick, and dependable too.
For nectar and pollen, she’s up at sunrise,
from flower to flower to flower she flies.
Bluebelle and her sisters work while we play.
Busy little worker bees working all day.
With pollen-packed legs and smiles so wide,
They take the food to their hive with pride.
Bluebelle the honeybee zips through the day,
Dancing through flowers in her waggly way.
She communicates through her waggly dance
A little high achiever taking a chance.
Her brood depends on her work so precise,
This tiny researcher makes the world so nice!
She dances and hums, and off she will go,
A busy little scientist, making things grow.
She measures the distance from flower to hive
And keeps the colony healthy and alive.
From flying through petals to studying the sky
She’s a brilliant little engineer, watch her fly.
Then home to her hive with a magical mix
Of honey and pollen and jelly she picks.
With care in her heart and hardly a rest,
Bluebelle is a hero, she is the best.
