'Bumblebee' is a female HiveWing dragonet who was
introduced in The Hive Queen. Since her egg was only injected once with
the breath of evil, she was most likely immune to the othermind's mind
control. She currently resides in the LeafSilk Kingdom.

## Description

Bumblebee has black scales that are striped with wide, fuzzy swathes of
bright yellow and yellow-and-black-striped wings. She has patches of
black scales circling her yellow-gold eyes, making her look like a
tragic panda. She has a rather round face, as well as a very loud,
high-pitched voice. She is small, roughly the size of a large mango. She
has big, black-rimmed, woebegone eyes in a warm golden face, as well as
thin, shimmering wings.

## Personality

Bumblebee is fierce, loud, squirmy, grumpy, and her face typically bears
an outraged expression. She often turns into a shrieking hurricane of
fury when it is time for bed. After hearing Swordtail state that some
dragons can be stupid, Bumblebee avidly agreed, shouting her opinion
loudly enough that several dragons flying overheard turned to see what
the noise was. She then proceeded to shout insults at several
surrounding grasshoppers.

## Biography

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

left
The Hive Queen
Bumblebee's egg was
first found by Cricket when she crept into the Jewel Hive#Jewel Hive
Nest|Jewel Hive Nest. Her egg had been marked 'ORPHANAGE', and had only
one of Queen Wasp's poisonous stinger marks on its shell. Cricket
rescued Bumblebee from the Nest because she pitied the egg and hoped
that she, like Cricket herself, would be immune from Wasp's mind
control. After leaving the Nest, Cricket took Bumblebee's egg to one of
Sundew's hideouts, where Bumblebee hatched shortly after their arrival.
After feeding her a fish, Cricket tucked the sleeping hatchling into a
scarf sling around her chest. Bumblebee was present around Cricket's
chest as Blue, Cricket, Sundew, and Swordtail destroyed most of Queen
Wasp's breath of evil supply.

left The Poison Jungle

After Sundew and Cricket started arguing, Bumblebee cried out
to Sundew, and she realized that the dragonet was trying to say her
name. When Sundew spoke to Blue and the others about the horrors of the
Poison Jungle, she said that the loud and flappy ones always get eaten
first, implying Bumblebee.

A little later, Bumblebee suddenly piped up, jabbing Cricket in the
chin. She turned her head towards Sundew and reached hopefully towards
the LeafWing, saying something similar to 'eat now please.' As Cricket
explained what she believed Bumblebee said, the dragonet repeated
herself, attempting to wiggle out of her sling.

During the mission to find Hawthorn, Bumblebee caused them both to run
into a giant sundew plant, after getting scared by an enormous tsetse
fly in front of Sundew. They worked together to escape the plant.

Bumblebee was present when Sundew, Cricket, Willow, Mandrake, and Nettle
reached the Den of Vipers. The dragonet was asleep in her sling, but
Sundew looked at her and wondered if they should not have taken her with
them.

When Cricket, Sundew, and the others returned to the SapWing village
with the supposed antidote, Cricket left Bumblebee with Tsunami.
Bumblebee responded with lots of yelling, but Cricket insisted that
Bumblebee needed to stay safe.

When Cricket and Sundew returned to the throne room to get Bumblebee,
she ran to Sundew and bumped against her talons, reaching to be picked
up. Sundew lifted her and called her "little bug."

Bumblebee was with Cricket, Sundew, Willow, Hazel and many other
LeafWings and SilkWings when they began their journey to find the
Distant Kingdoms.

The Dangerous Gift
When Snowfall met
the Pantala|Pantalan refugees, a dragonet came and attacked her, who she
fended off with her weapons. The dragonet goes back crying to Cricket.
This dragonet is Bumblebee.

Bumblebee was later seen in Sanctuary trying to catch a butterfly while
Cricket, Qibli, Winter, and Lynx were searching for "Pumpkin"
(Daffodil). After Qibli suggested that a secret stealth team should go
to Pantala to defeat the othermind, Bumblebee wanted to be a part of the
team, jumping off a boulder and landing in the grass while shouting.
While Wren and the dragons further discussed about going to Pantala,
Bumblebee was seen playing with Daffodil as she tossed the dragonet into
the air and caught her, while Bumblebee sat on her shoulders and played
with her hair.

and friends.

A Guide to the Dragon World

Bumblebee was mentioned in Cricket's letter to Starflight about
including Pantalan students at Jade Mountain Academy. Cricket said that
she was interested in sending Bumblebee there when the dragonet was
older. Bumblebee was later mentioned in a letter from Willow to Cricket
about HiveWing abilities.

## Relationships

### Axolotl

Axolotl quickly made their way straight into Bumblebee's heart after
meeting them; Bumblebee bonked them with her head and they gave her a
carrot to gnaw on. After Bumblebee bonked them again, they laughed and
stated Bumblebee to be a "loud friend".

### Blue

Bumblebee has a positive relationship with Blue. When Bumblebee hatched,
Blue was extremely excited to raise her. He is shown carrying and
holding Bumblebee in a scarf sling tied around his chest.

### Cricket

Bumblebee adores Cricket. Cricket is also the dragon who saved her egg
from Queen Wasp's mind control by taking her from her Nest. She carried
Bumblebee all the way to Wasp Hive in a scarf sling tied around her
chest while they destroyed Queen Wasp's supply of mind-controlling
plants. Cricket acts motherly towards her, praising her when she
correctly followed Sundew's directions, calling her a "good listener",
"such a smart dragon," and talking to her like a mother would to her
child. Cricket also once stated that Bumblebee did not have to be mean
and scary, unlike the other mind-controlled HiveWings. When she sought
comfort after being chided by Snowfall, she buried her face into
Cricket's shoulder. Cricket cares about Bumblebee's upbringing, as she
reminded the little dragonet that it was right to try and use kind words
and understand one another.

### Daffodil

Bumblebee is on friendly terms with Daffodil, as she let Daffodil play
with her.

### Dusky

Bumblebee is better at bedtimes when they have sleepovers, and Dusky
loves her fierceness.

### Nettle

Bumblebee and Nettle dislike each other. Bumblebee dislikes Nettle since
she is mean and complains, while Nettle dislikes Bumblebee for being a
HiveWing,  Nettle was very mean to Bumblebee saying she was a nasty
dragon, even suggesting feeding her to the dragon-traps. In return,
Bumblebee often mocked Nettle's complaining.

### Sundew

Bumblebee has a special fondness of Sundew and looks up to her greatly,
which started as the result of Sundew giving her food. After Sundew gave
a dried mango to the newborn dragonet to keep her still, she was
mentioned to "give Sundew a worshipful look." Bumblebee calls Sundew "Snudoo." In The Poison Jungle, Sundew begins
to show affection towards Bumblebee, willingly holding her and giving
her food. When Sundew was in the SapWing village, Sundew was wondering
if anyone had fed Bumblebee. Bumblebee and Sundew worked together to
escape a giant sundew plant.

### Swordtail

Bumblebee seems to think that Swordtail is funny. When he told her to be
quiet, she fell over giggling.

### Tsunami

Bumblebee disliked Tsunami, as evidenced by her not wanting to stay with
her in The Poison Jungle.
