Comments

From Ryan : This short is similar to "Honey Harvester" because Donald steals honey from the bees. This bee, however, is different since he is rather chubbier bee than that we are used to. This is a pretty good short that I enjoy watching frequently.

I have seen "Bee On Guard" and would like to
