- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps.

I'm Hubba Hubba talking

to you from Hoobland

and I'm about to send

four of my favorite Hoobs

down to Earth to find

out all about you

for my great Hoopapedia.

Here they come!

- [All] Hoobs!

(birds chirping)

- Ooh, I'll have one of those!

(popping)

I'll have one of those.

(buzzing)

Hello, little buzzy bee!

Have you come to look

at our Hoobie flowers?

Sorry, didn't quite catch that.

- Oh, Hoobadoob, Tula!

I wondered where you were.

- Oh, Hoobledoob, Groove.

Wow, what are your plans

for that big roll of paper?

- Oh, well, I was thinking

of drawing something,

but I'm not sure what.

(buzzing)

Oh, hello there

little buzzy bee.

- I think he's checking

out our Hoobie flowers.

(buzzing)

(sighing)

Oh, he's gone.

Obviously, he couldn't

find what he wanted.

- Well, I think I know

what a bee looks like,

I shall draw a bee.

- Ah, wonderful!

Have either of you two

thought of a question

for HoobNews?

- Sorry, Iver, we've been

too busy looking at a bee.

- Oh well, maybe

I'll get an idea

while I eat my breakfast.

Mmm, Hooby Goop on a Hooby Bun!

I can't wait! (laughs)

(upbeat music)

- Does a bee have

two wings or one?

- Oh no, oh no!

- Iver, are you okay?

- No, I'm not okay!

I've run out of Hooby Goop!

- Oh, that's too bad.

- And there's nothing

I like better than

sweet, runny, Hooby Goop

on a Hooby Bun.

(sad trombone rift)

- Can't we get anymore?

- (sighs) Not unless

we go back to Hoobland

and ask Auntie HattieHoop

to make us some more.

- I don't think we

can do that today.

- Why did we run out of it, why?

♪ Why, why, why, why? ♪

♪ Why, why, why? ♪

- The reason you've run out is

because you've eaten it all.

(crying)

- Oh, Iver, maybe

the peeps have got

something sweet and

runny like Hooby Goop.

- Do you think they

might have, Tula?

- Let's ask Hubba Hubba.

- Yes.

- Oh, don't worry,

little furry buddy.

(electric powering up)

- Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba

- Hoobledoop Hoobs!

- Hoobledoop, Hubba Hubba!

- We were just

wondering, do you know

if peeps have anything

that's as sweet

and runny and delicious

as Hoobie Goop?

- Oh, well, I don't

know off hand,

but I'll check on Hoobnet.

Now, let me see.

Sweet, runny, delicious.

(static)

Ah, yes they do, and

it's called honey!

(zapping)

- Honey, oh just look at that!

- I'm going to

print it out, now!

- That looks just

like Hoobie Goop!

- So, who makes honey and how?

- Who makes and honey and how?

- Ah-ha, now that's

a perfect question

to answer on HoobNews!

All the information you

get will go straight

into my Hoobapedia!

Now, let me see.

Mhmm, I'll start by checking

out who makes things

on this peep planet.

(zapping)

Ah, here we are.

She's very busy

making something.

Ooh, they look very busy, too.

Now, what are they making here?

Oh, not Hoobie Goop.

Ooh, looks very heavy.

He's busy making something,

but it's still not Hoobie Goop.

Busy, busy, busy making, and

she's still making something.

You know, I haven't

seen anything

that looks like Hoobie Goop.

Wait a minute, ah-ha!

(zapping)

- Oh, that looked a

bit like Hoobie Goop!

Did you see that?

- Yeah.

- Maybe it's peeps!

I bet peeps know

how to make honey!

(zapping)

- Hubba, hubba, hubba, hubba.

- I don't know if

peeps can make honey,

but I do know that

they like to eat it.

Especially Tiddlypeeps!

- Then lets go and talk

to some Tiddlypeeps!

- Just what I was

going to suggest, Iver.

- I'll drive!

- No, no, I'll drive.

- No, no, no, it's fine!

- I like driving,

you know I like driving!

- I'm gonna carry

on drawing my bee.

(silly music)

(frustrated groaning)

- Seatbelt.

- [Both] We're off to

see the Tiddlypeeps!

- There's a Hoobiecam

in my lunch box, hello!

- [All] Hello!

- Hi!

- Hi everyone!

- [All] It's Iver!

- Want to do a Hoobie Hello?

- Yes!

- [All] Hoobledoop,

hoobledoop, whoo, whoo, whoo!

- Hey, what's all this

stuff you're eating?

- It's our lunch!

- Look, I've run

out of Hoobie Goop

and I think I need to put

something on my Hoobie bun.

Now, what's it

called, honey, yes.

Can I taste your

sandwiches to see

if any of them taste

like Hoobie Goop?

- Of course, here, try this.

- Oh, thank you!

(chewing)

Mmm, what's in here?

- Peanut butter!

- Oh, it's delicious!

But it doesn't taste

anything like Hoobie Goop.

Oh, what about this one?

- It's cheese spread!

- Ahh, Groove, Groove, Groove!

Did you hear that?

I'm about to try cheese spread!

(chewing)

Mmm, mmm, fantabbyhoobie!

But not as fantabyhoobie

as Hoobie Goop, mmm.

Oh, may I try yours?

May I, may I?

(muffled yes)

Oh, thank you.

(chewing)

Mmm, this is the stuff!

Oh it's so like Hoobie Goop!

Is it honey?

- Yeah.

- Yes, it is called honey, Tula!

Hubba Hubba was right!

Who makes it, so that

I can go and get some?

- [Both] Bees!

- Oh, right, bees, bees?

(Tula sighing)

Those tiny, little

buzzy things make this?

Did you get that, Groove?

Are you sure?

- Yes.

- Yes!

- Well, thanks very

much, Tiddlypeeps,

you've been very helpful,

but I must be getting back

to the Hoobmobile.

Hoobletoodledoo!

- Hoobletoodledoo!

(Iver sighing)

(upbeat piano music)

- Can you believe that?

I mean, the Tiddlypeeps,

they usually know everything,

but this time, I think

they've gone Hoobiedoolally.

You see, how could

a little teeny bee

make a great big jar of honey?

- Well, I don't

know, but Tiddlypeeps

are nearly always right, so,

just have to wait and see.

How many wings did

you say a bee had?

- Two!

Look, I asked Hubba

Hubba for some pictures

of bees on Hoobnet.

- Oh, Tula, how

Hoobirgroovy is that?

Now, if I could just get

my paper to lie flat,

I could draw one, ah!

- Nothing about this bees

says "I can make honey" to me.

What about you?

- How could it even hold a

jar, it doesn't have any paws?

- Hmm, there must be somewhere

we can look for more

information, but where?

♪ Where, where, where? ♪

♪ Where? ♪

(zapping)

- I know where you

can look, Hoobs.

Here, I found a story.

There might just be some

clues for you in this.

(zapping)

(upbeat music)

- [Narrator] There was once

a big, bossy cauliflower.

He lived very happily

with lots of other things

inside a lovely, clean fridge.

On his shelf, there

was a lettuce,

a beetroot, a huge

box full of cheeses,

and a little bowl of peas.

One day, an enormous,

stinky cheese moved in

next to them all.

He was so big and so stinky

that all the vegetables

held their noses.

"Poo-wee, please, would you

go and live in the cheese box

"with all the other cheeses?"

"No, I like it here!"

said the cheese.

The cauliflower decided

that, if the cheese

wasn't going to

move by themself,

then the rest of them might

give him a little push.

First, the cauliflower tried.

(groaning)

But the cheese just didn't move.

Then the beetroot tried.

(groaning)

But still the

cheese didn't move.

Then the lettuce had a turn.

(groaning)

But the cheese just

would not budge.

Then, from the

back of the shelf,

came some small voices.

"We'll move it!"

It was the peas.

"You can't move a great,

big, stinky cheese!"

said the cauliflower.

"We may be small, but

there's lots of us!"

squeaked the peas.

And so, pea by pea,

they all rolled up

beside the cheese.

They rolled underneath

him, rolled him

to the back of the

shelf, and lifted him

into the cheese box.

"You know something!" said

the big, bossy cauliflower.

"You may be small, but you peas

"did a really good job together.

"It just goes to show that we

should give peas a chance."

(zapping)

- Now I have to say, the

stories Hubba Hubba finds

usually help us, but

what that had to do

with bees or honey...

- A bunch of peas worked

together to move a cheese.

- [Groove] Excuse me,

sorry, could you help me?

- Groove, Groove, we're

trying to work this out

or we won't have an

answer to our question.

- Ah, wait a

minute, I've got it!

Peas are little, right?

- Right.

- And bees are little, right?

- Right.

- [Groove] Sorry, could

someone just give me a hand?

- (sighs) Just a minute, Groove!

So, what the story

was saying was

that even if you're

little, as long

as there are lots of you...

- You can do anything!

- Even make honey!

Which means that a bee

doesn't make honey on its own.

He must get all his

little bee friends, to--

- [Groove] To help!

- This is right, Groove, help!

Oh, Groove, he got

rolled up in his paper.

- (grunting) Thank you, Tula.

Where's Iver?

- Oh!

(all laughing)

- Oh, Iver, this

paper is so roll-y.

- Help me, help me,

help me, Groove!

- All right, go on,

wriggle, wriggle, wriggle.

(popping)

- Now, the bees all work

together to make the honey.

But we still don't

know how they do it.

- [Phone] Hubba,

Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.

- I must say, Hoobs,

this is proving

to be a very interesting

question, isn't it?

Now, if you're still

having problems

working out how those

clever little bees

make honey together, why not pay

another visit to

the Tiddlypeeps?

They are always doing

things together.

- Hubba Hubba, you are a genius!

- Oh, thank you, Iver!

- Let's go, I'll drive!

- Are we sure, Tula?

- Oh yes!

- I don't mind, Tula.

- No, no, no,

don't mind driving.

- I don't mind driving

- And I'll finish my

picture of me bee.

This looks interesting!

- Thank you!

- Whatever are all

those Tiddlypeeps up to?

Only one way to find out.

- Thank you.

(popping)

- Oh, Hoobledoop, Iver!

- Hoobledoop, what

are you doing?

- We're tidying up our toys!

- Oh, looks very complicated.

Why doesn't just one

Tiddlypeep do it?

- It's too hard for one person.

- Is it really?

Can you explain how you do it?

- Yes!

- We make a Tiddlypeep

chain and pass the toys

down the line.

- Oh I see, and that makes

it quicker and easier?

- Yes, it's called

working in a team.

- (gasps) Are you getting

this, Tula, Groove?

The Tiddlypeeps are

working together as a team!

(Groove and Tula sighing)

Oh that sounds

like a Hoobacious way

of getting the job done.

Oh, I say, do you

have any honey?

- [All] No!

- Oh, oh well, nevermind.

Thank you so much, I must dash.

Hoobeltoodledoo!

- Hoobletoodledoo!

(upbeat piano music)

(Groove groaning)

- So it's a team thing.

- But what does it mean?

I mean, do some

bees hold the jar

while others stir the honey?

Oh, I don't get it.

- Somebody help me, please.

- Groove, you have just given

me a really Hoobiegroovy idea

about how to test out

this teamwork thing!

- Oh good.

- Iver, you take one

end of the paper.

Groove, you be ready

- Thanks guys, all right.

(Groove laughing)

- That is a Hoobacious

drawing, Groove.

Or should I say, Hoob-beecious?

(all laughing)

- Hoob-beecious,

that's very funny.

- Excuse me,

- Good joke, I like that.

- Excuse me.

(clearing throat)

So now we know how

peas and Tiddlypeeps

and Hoobs work as a team,

but what about bees?

How do they do it?

- [Phone] Roma,

Roma, Roma, Roma.

(zapping)

- Roma might know.

- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!

I'm here in the

country and the reason

I'm dressed as a bee is

because I'm working undercover!

(both laughing)

I want the bees to think

that I'm one of them.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.

That was me talking bee!

(all laughing)

Tucked away under those

branches over there

is a thing called a beehive.

It's where the bees work and

live and make their honey!

How they actually do

this is top secret stuff.

Hence the disguise.

But, I can tell you this much.

Hundreds of bees fly out

from the hives every day

and buzz around,

collecting sweet nectar

from the peep flowers.

They then bring the

nectar back to the hive,

which is like a big factory.

They then store the nectar

in these honeycombs.

And then more bees turn

it into a yummy honey.

I've sent you a jar, Iver.

- Oh, Hoobiegallooby!

- Have you seen the

bees making it, Roma?

- No, there are no

windows in the hive.

And every time I get

close, they chase me away.

Well, I'm going to

try one more time.

Well now, little busy

bees, buzz, buzz.

Buzz, buzz.

No, no, they're not

going to speak to me.

Well, this is Roma Hoob,

reporting for Hoob News

and buzzing off, buzz, buzz,

buzz, buzz, Hoobletoodledoo!

(zapping)

(Groove laughing)

- So now we know

that honey is made from

something called nectar,

which comes from peep flowers!

(both laughing)

- Oh, little buzzy bee,

you are so Hoobacious.

- Hey, maybe that's

another reason

why that little bee

we saw didn't hang

around our Hoobie flowers.

Maybe they don't have

that sweet nectar.

- Groove, Tula!

It's arrived, the

honey jar from Roma!

Oh, I can't wait to try

some on a Hoobie Bun!

- Later, Iver, it's

time for HoobNews!

- Just try a little.

- Iver!

- Are you ready with

your news, Hoobs?

Ready to give me what you've got

on who makes honey and

how for the Hoobapedia?

- We're ready!

Hoobledoop whoop to all

you Hoobs out there.

Welcome to HoobNews, the news

show for Hoobs everywhere.

I'm Iver.

- I'm Tula.

- And I'm Groove.

- And today we're

asking the question.

- Who makes honey and how?

It all started when Iver

ran out of Hoobie Goop

and realized that he

couldn't get anymore.

- Can't we get anymore?

- Not unless we go

back to Hoobland

and ask Auntie HattieHoob

to make us some more.

- [Groove] So we asked

Hubba Hubba if peeps

had anything like it.

- [Tula] He told us that they

had something called honey,

but we had no idea

who made it or how.

So Iver went to see

the Tiddlypeeps,

and they told him

that bees make honey.

- Bees?

Those tiny little

buzzy things make this?

Did you get that, Groove?

Are you sure?

- Yes!

- Yes?

- [Iver] We couldn't

believe that something

so small could be so clever

and make something so big.

- Nothing about this bee says

"I can make honey" to me.

What about you?

- How could it even hold a jar,

it doesn't even have paws!

- [Groove] Then we heard

a story about some peas

who moved a stinky cheese.

And we realized the

story was saying

that, even if you're small,

if there are enough of you,

you can do anything.

- [Tula] Then Iver went to

see the Tiddlypeeps again

to see how they work

together as a team.

- [Groove] Meanwhile, I

was having a little bit

of trouble drawing a bee

on my big piece of paper.

- [Iver] So we tried

working in a team

and helped Groove

with his drawing.

♪ I really think

that this'll work ♪

♪ We're acting like a team. ♪

♪ Yes, doing this

job together means ♪

♪ it's turning out a dream ♪

♪ Now we should have

done this long before ♪

♪ I work so well with you ♪

♪ I'm over the moon,

we're so in tune ♪

♪ It's just the thing to do ♪

♪ Now pull that

sheet out smoothly ♪

♪ So it's nice and flat for me ♪

♪ Then I'll dash

off a masterpiece ♪

♪ A portrait of a bee ♪

(buzzing)

- [Tula] But we

still needed to know

how the bees made the honey.

- [Groove] Roma told us

that they gather nectar

from flowers, which they

take back to their hives

and make the lovely,

sweet, runny honey.

- So now we know who

makes honey and how.

- [All] It's bees!

- So it's thanks once again to

Iver, Tula, Groove, and Roma

for giving Hoobs

everywhere a little peep

into the world of peeps.

And, remember, have a

Hoobledoobledoopa day

and hoobletoodledoo!

- [All] Hoobletoodledoo!

(upbeat rock music)

- (sighing) Pass

me a Hoobie Bun!

It's breakfast time!
