**Honey Bee Hijack** is the 1st episode of Series 3 and the 104th episode of Go Jetters.

## Synopsis

*Glitch creates a sticky situation when he borrows every honeybee in the world to help win the Yummy Honey Contest. Can the Go Jetters save them all with the help of a Go Jet Cadet?*

*The Go Jet Academy holds a honey contest, and while Xuli and Kyan collect honey from around the globe, Tala hopes to win despite only having a single jar. But when Glitch hatches a plan to kidnap all of the world's bees, the Go Jetters must travel across the world to stop him.*

## Plot

The episode starts with Xuli recording herself on World Bee Day in Burkina Faso, Africa, trying out the honey they have. Kyan, who is also there with Xuli, is playing around with the children, pretending to be bees. The recording then jumps over to Lars at the Academy, where there is the construction of the honeycomb dome happening, in honour on their teamwork to create their nests. The recording then jumps over to a new cadet named Tala, who is at the Academy's flower meadow as home for the bees, while not getting close to the bees home.

Just then, Foz arrives in the meadow, with an academy hover-bike, to tell Tala that Ubercorn is looking for a bee expert, in which he came to find the one. Confused Tala takes a while to realise that she's the one Foz was suggesting, and hops onto the hover-cycle, heading to the academy. They get there and meet Lars and Ubercorn, as Ubercorn says some 'buzzing' funky facts, even asking if anyone else has one to share. Tala mentions waggle dance, a dance that bees do to tell each other where to find food, water, or a new home, while demonstrating one in the process. The four then call Xuli and Kyan to see what they're up to, and find them riding the vroomster with honey from all over the world, and Kyan tasting it. The honey they have is for the Go Jet Academy Honey Contest, a contest where the person with the most yummy honey will be given the Yummy Honey Trophy. As Tala mentions how little honey she has, Glitch overhears and commands his grimbots to make sure the prize goes to the right person.

When Lars, Foz and Tala get to the Academy meadow, they spot Glitch in his grimbler (with a bee costume) sucking the nectar into a giant honey jar, causing the honey bees to leave the meadow. So Lars and Foz jump onto the truckster and spring into action, while Tala calls out asking to help. The two arrive at the meadow, with Foz directing Glitch to bring back the bees as he is on the truckster's ladder. Glitch ignoring his wishes forces Foz to grab onto the giant jar from behind grimbler, but with a sneeze, he start falling to the ground. Tala then catches Foz with a hover-bike, but Foz questions why she's here. The Truckster then gets blocked by a wooden canopy, which brings Foz into requesting for click-ons. Ubercorn gives Lars and Foz G.O Board and G.O Mag, as Foz orders Tala to wait. Once the two get close to the grimbler, they use G.O Mag to stop it from continuing. But Tala arrives, driving in front of the G.O Mag's force and crashes into Lars and Foz, freeing the grimbler and letting Glitch continue his work, but in a flower themed Grim HQ!

Glitch starts stealing bees from all around the world, creating a bee hive underneath Grim HQ. While Xuli and Kyan are at Utah, they notice the bees following Grim HQ and jump onto the Vroomster to stop it. Xuli directs Glitch to stop, but he of course doesn't listen and Xuli can't get close due to potentially hurting the bees with the Vroomster, so she just results into following it, watching Grim HQ steal bees from all over the world as its nest gets bigger.

Meanwhile, Ubercorn finds Tala is sulking in the meadow, since her offer to help got in the way. But Ubercorn says she can still help considering she knows a lot about bees, and maybe why Glitch wants the trophy so much. The two get onto Jetpad, where it follows Grim HQ and finds that it's heading to Antarctica. Xuli reports that Grim HQ is moving like it's shivering, which is from the bees. Ubercorn gives out some urgent funky facts, one of them mentioning how the bees huddle together and shiver. So Grim HQ is put off balance due to that and crashes into a ravine.

Xuli tries to hoist Grim HQ up with the Vroomster's grappling hook, while Ubercorn gives the other Go Jetters click-ons: G.O Suit, G.O Shield and G.O Giant, so they can look for the bees. They find three parts of the nest, where the bees are kept, and try to bring it to Jetpad, but Foz gets lost in the cold wind. Luckily, Ubercorn and Tala rush in to put the bees into warm G.O Ball bubbles. But Xuli is struggling to hoist Grim HQ up, until she grabs the strong part of it and flies it to safety. When a dizzy Glitch exits out of Grim HQ, the Go Jetters scold him for what he did and why he did it. Glitch then admits that he did it for Tala because... Tala is his niece. Surprising! Even for the Go Jetters! Tala suggests that Glitch can help by using Grim HQ for the bees nest, as Tala talks to the bees through waggle dance, and Glitch joins in as well.

The Go Jetters, Tala and Glitch then go all over the world, doing waggle dances to send the bees home. Once done, Foz congratulates Tala for her help, and Kyan cant stop doing the waggle dance. At the Go jet Academy Honey Contest, Ubercorn claims Tala's honey as the yummiest and rewards her with the Yummy Honey Trophy. Glitch couldn't 'bee' more proud! And Xuli takes a waggle dance selfie for this wonderful moment.

## Funky Facts

* Honey Bees are attracted to flowers by it's bright colours, and a sweet smelling drink inside called nectar.
* Bees love nectar! They use their long tongues to collect a few drops, and then take it back to their nest, or beehives. That's where they turn it into honey.
* As bees collect nectar, they also pick up a sticky dust called pollen and carry it from flower to flower. This is called pollination, and it helps to make new plants grow. Which means honey bees are really important plant life.

### Urgent Funky Facts

* Antarctica is the only continent that has no honey bees.
* That's because there are no flowers, and it's too cold for them to survive.
* To keep themselves warm, they all huddle and shake into one shivery swarm.
