She was initially referenced in The Birds, the Bees, and the Berenstain Bears, but she was first introduced in The Berenstain Bears and Baby Makes Five (published months earlier). That novel was about Mama Bear's pregnancy. Sibling Bear is first envious of her, but with time, Sister grows to adore her baby sister. When Baby Girl is born premature, Mama has to stay at the hospital because there are no beds available at home. While she's away, Brother finds a way to get into the nursery to see the baby. Honey Bear means "help me" in Spanish. She's one of the main characters in the series who lives in the neighborhood near the Berenstains' house. Her family consists of her parents and two brothers. She has two sisters named Lucy and Bear Cub (who was killed by a car). Honey has many friends, but the most popular person among them is Lucy. They both enjoy drawing and creating art together. Honey also gets along well with her brother Stan, although at first they didn't get along very well. He used to tease her about being a girl and not wanting to play with trucks like his other siblings. But later on, they became good friends and now he respects her for being smart and helping out around their house. Honey's family isn't rich, but they live comfortably enough. Her father works as an engineer at a nuclear power plant while her mother takes care of the house and raises the children.
