Bella: Shares Her Sticky Plan — Dave Diggle

When Dr Peta Anteater's waiting hollow becomes awash with sick frillneck lizards, she knew she had to find the perfect medicine to fix their sore throats.

With the only known cure being a secret blend of just the right quantities of four different families of honey, Dr Peta had no choice but to ask a very special bee to help bring it all together to make this perfect, pure blend so desperately needed.

Can Bella Bee convince the four families to put the differences of the past behind them and work together to help the young ones?
