Added: 2026-05-14

[00:00:00]La la la la la la la Luna.

[00:00:03]Luna.

[00:00:06]La la la la la la la Luna.

[00:00:08]The questions and adventures never end.

[00:00:11]How do you light turn on? Where have dinosaurs gone? Can the wind sing a song? Are there really black swans? Why do people yawn? Where are the stars at dawn? The questions and adventures never end.

[00:00:23]La la la la la la la Luna.

[00:00:26]On the space station.

[00:00:30]Buzz, buzz, flower and fuzz.

[00:00:37]Ah.

[00:00:40]Aha. Oh, a papaya. No, look. It's your turn, Luna. Okay.

[00:00:49]Pineapple.

[00:00:50]Ah. An apple.

[00:00:53]I've already seen that card.

[00:00:57]Here's the apple and here the other one.

[00:01:02]Yay, I DID IT.

[00:01:04]>> WOOHOO.

[00:01:04]>> [cheering] >> WELL DONE, JUPITER. You got it. That makes me want an apple. Well then, let's get you one, Jupiter. Come on.

[00:01:13]Good morning.

[00:01:15]Hi. Can I have one apple, please?

[00:01:18]One moment.

[00:01:22]Oh, I'm sorry. We seem to be out of apples. Oh, no. Now what? I know. Let's go to the orchard. Yeah.

[00:01:35]Hi, kids. Hi, Mahara. What are you wearing?

[00:01:39]>> Are you an orchid astronaut?

[00:01:42]>> [laughter] >> No. These clothes protect me from bees.

[00:01:46]There's bees here?

[00:01:50]There are. Why are there bees on the space station?

[00:01:54]>> The bees help the plants. They have a very important job. Want to see? Yeah.

[00:02:00]Bees on the space station?

[00:02:03]Important job?

[00:02:05]And how do bees help plants anyways?

[00:02:08]What's happening here? I've just got to know.

[00:02:16]What's happening here? What can it mean?

[00:02:21]This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. What's happening here? Let's figure it out. I just got to know what this is all about. I've got to go now.

[00:02:38]You're safe, but please be careful. See you later. Bye. Bye, Mahara.

[00:02:45]Scientist Jupiter, scientist Clyde, do you see any bees?

[00:02:50]>> Um.

[00:02:51]Huh?

[00:02:53]There aren't any bees here, Luna.

[00:02:57]Do you think they're sleeping RIGHT NOW?

[00:02:59]OVER THERE, a bee.

[00:03:03]Luna, I think she works on that other row. Let's go over there. Let's follow her.

[00:03:10]Do you see where she went? No.

[00:03:15]Luna, look at that pretty flower.

[00:03:19]How pretty.

[00:03:21]Maybe the bee is inside there.

[00:03:24]No, the bee isn't in the flower. Oops, a bee.

[00:03:30]That's a big bee.

[00:03:34]I recorded it. Let's watch it again.

[00:03:37]Luna, do you think she was cleaning the flower?

[00:03:42]I'm not sure yet, but where did she go now?

[00:03:49]>> [laughter] >> I don't think she's cleaning the flower.

[00:03:53]So she's just making a big old mess?

[00:03:58]There's only one way to find out.

[00:04:02]How?

[00:04:03]By making believe that we're bees.

[00:04:11]We're bees.

[00:04:14]>> [laughter] >> And we're fast.

[00:04:20]What a pretty flower.

[00:04:22]>> Where?

[00:04:23]Over there.

[00:04:29]What a soft flower.

[00:04:32]You're right, and these things stick to us.

[00:04:36]Excuse me.

[00:04:39]Are you eating the flower?

[00:04:43]Not exactly. I'm actually taking the nectar from this flower back to the hive.

[00:04:49]>> Really? Wow.

[00:04:51]>> Yeah, you should try it. It's really good.

[00:04:56]It's so sweet.

[00:04:58]Is that how you guys make honey?

[00:05:02]Exactly. Each bee takes a bit of nectar back to the hive, and that's where we make the honey.

[00:05:11]It tastes like like honey.

[00:05:15]It's delicious.

[00:05:18]I think so, too. Sometimes I just fly around from flower to flower the whole day.

[00:05:25]I want to fly to a thousand flowers.

[00:05:28]Ooh, I want more than that.

[00:05:32]That's a lot for just one day.

[00:05:37]Too little time. Oh, yeah? How many flowers can you fly to in one day? My record was 100 flowers. In just one day.

[00:05:47]Wow.

[00:05:50]Oh my, your feet are all dirty.

[00:05:53]It's not dirt, it's pollen. Pollen?

[00:05:58]Yeah, pollen from my friend, Flora.

[00:06:01]Flora.

[00:06:03]Hi, Zoya. Morning. Lots of people today, huh? Hi, Flora. I thought that bees help the plants. But now I'm starting to think it's the plants that help the bees. What do you say, Flora? Should we tell them?

[00:06:19]>> Sure.

[00:06:29]For all these flowers to grow [music] everywhere you see, it's thanks to the pollen carried by the little bee.

[00:06:37]Flowers don't have wings and bees don't have nectar, but if they help each other, it all comes together.

[00:06:47]Honeybees make honey, flowers make fruit. Yes, that's pollination.

[00:06:53]>> [singing] >> Honeybees make honey, flowers make fruit.

[00:07:00]It's good for everyone.

[00:07:03]>> [singing] >> Pollen, [music] pollen, honeybees and flowers, it's quite the sensation.

[00:07:10]Working hard [singing] without hesitation.

[00:07:14]>> [music] >> Pollination.

[00:07:17]Pollen, pollen, pollen, pollination.

[00:07:24]So that means that bees help fruit to grow, and the flowers give nectar that turns into honey. That's right. Who wants to see the hive?

[00:07:35]Come on.

[00:07:37]>> [laughter] >> It's this way.

[00:07:42]Little bee, the hive is back over there.

[00:07:46]No, no. My hive is that way. Which one is yours? Hi, Zoana. Come see our hive.

[00:07:52]Wow, you guys are really different. Oh, yeah. There's lots of types of bees.

[00:07:58]>> Just here on Antares, there's more than 100 different bees. And back on Earth, there are even more types. Wow, that's amazing.

[00:08:08]>> Wow. And we can't eat all of their honey? Actually, not all bees make honey, but let's just start with my hive.

[00:08:22]Wow.

[00:08:25]Wow, this place is amazing.

[00:08:29]>> And smells It smells like honey. Come on.

[00:08:37]This is the best experience ever.

[00:08:41]Bee Jupiter, have you found any flowers?

[00:08:45]No, not yet, Luna.

[00:08:49]Ah, this flower smells so sweet.

[00:08:52]>> smell it?

[00:08:54]You're right, Luna. Hey, what are you guys doing?

[00:08:58]>> We're playing pollination. Pollination?

[00:09:02]Hi, kids.

[00:09:03]Well, did you like the orchard? Uh-huh.

[00:09:07]And the bees, too.

[00:09:08]>> Bees? Yeah, the bees that help the plants.

[00:09:11]>> plants that help the bees. Mhm. How?

[00:09:15]>> Oh, you're going to have to see our show to find out.

[00:09:19]>> Yeah.

[00:09:31]For all these flowers [music] to grow everywhere you see, it's thanks to the pollen carried by the little bee.

[00:09:40]Flowers don't have wings and bees don't have nectar, but if they help each other, it all comes together.

[00:09:49]Honeybees make honey, flowers make fruit.

[00:09:53]Yes, that's pollination.

[00:09:57]Honeybees make honey, flowers make food.

[00:10:02]It's good for everyone.

[00:10:07]>> [music] >> Honey bees and flowers, it's quite the sensation.

[00:10:12]Working hard without [singing] sensation.

[00:10:17]Honey bees [music] and flowers it's quite the sensation.

[00:10:24]Woohoo! Yay! Well done, kids. And now, who's ready for some fruit? Me!

[00:10:30]Me, too!

[00:10:33]This apple is really sweet.

[00:10:36]This pineapple is a little sour.

[00:10:39]>> [laughter] >> How about some honey?

[00:10:42]Mhm, now it's nice and sweet. Mhm, is sour the opposite of sweet?

[00:10:49]Does everything sweet have sugar? How do you make sugar? Oh, so many questions.

[00:11:01]On the space station.

[00:11:36]>> [music] >> The waggle dance.

[00:11:53]>> [music] >> Bye.

[00:12:12]Boys, I'm home.

[00:12:16]>> [music] >> Hello. Hi. Look what I made.

[00:12:23]Hi, Clyde.

[00:12:26]Hi, Cutie. Oh, I know. I missed you today, too. I just have to show you guys something. It's really, really, really fantastic. You're going to love it.

[00:12:43]Did you understand what happened? Huh?

[00:12:47]I told you a story by dancing. I would have understood better if you told me by talking. No, Jupiter. In ballets, stories are told by dancing, just like Swan Lake and The Nutcracker.

[00:13:06]Ugh.

[00:13:07]That's sour.

[00:13:11]Hey, where's the honey? Mom always keeps it right here.

[00:13:16]I think I saw it somewhere, but I forgot. Well, let's look for it.

[00:13:31]It's not here, either.

[00:13:34]Um.

[00:13:37]Orange cake, that's my favorite.

[00:13:41]I know. Let's go look in the garden. But I didn't take the honey out there. But there are honey bees out there.

[00:13:49]And where there are honey bees, there's honey.

[00:13:52]Huh?

[00:13:53]Because they're the ones that make the honey, Jupiter. The honey bees. Come on, I'll show you.

[00:14:00]Let's find the honey bees.

[00:14:02]>> [snorts] >> Hey, where's Jupiter?

[00:14:08]Come on, Jupiter.

[00:14:12]Let's ask the bees for some honey.

[00:14:14]>> Let's ask them from here. They can't come in here and sting us, can they?

[00:14:19]Honey bees are wild insects.

[00:14:22]They don't sting to be mean. Come on.

[00:14:25]I'll make sure you're safe. We won't even get that close to them. I promise.

[00:14:42]A honeybee?

[00:14:43]Are you trying to tell me there's a honeybee out there?

[00:14:47]Where is it?

[00:14:49]We've got to ask her for some honey. Let me see the honeybee.

[00:15:00]Gotcha.

[00:15:01]I can't believe it.

[00:15:03]It's a little honeybee, and it's eating my cake.

[00:15:07]Hurry, go ask them for some honey.

[00:15:11]Uh, too late. It flew away. I don't think it liked our cake. Let's get the cake and investigate. Do you think she left any marks? But what if there's a bee out there?

[00:15:25]Not a single honeybee in the garden.

[00:15:33]I think I just saw another honeybee.

[00:15:36]Hang on. That's not the same honeybee.

[00:15:39]It's different.

[00:15:41]This one has less stripes.

[00:15:44]Maybe it just changed its clothes.

[00:15:47]Negative, Jupiter. It's a different bee.

[00:15:50]I'm sure.

[00:15:51]More honeybees?

[00:15:53]What?

[00:15:53]>> Yes, we've got to see.

[00:15:57]Phew.

[00:16:07]Wow, it looks like they're dancing ballet. So pretty. But how did all of those honeybees end up here? I wonder if one of them told the other ones about my cake. Let's find out. I just got to know what's happening here.

[00:16:28]What's happening here? What can it mean?

[00:16:33]This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

[00:16:38]What's happening here? Let's figure it out. I just got to know what this is all about.

[00:16:53]We've just got [music] to figure out how all these honeybees ended up on my cake.

[00:17:01]I've got it. Telepathy.

[00:17:04]Telly what?

[00:17:06]Telepathy.

[00:17:07]That's how aliens communicate.

[00:17:10]Huh? Aliens.

[00:17:13]They talk without talking. They talk by thinking. Alien honeybees need all. And you know how we're going to find out if they can talk telepathically?

[00:17:25]Follow me.

[00:17:36]Our experiment will work like this. If this little honeybee can really talk telepathically, it'll send a message to the other honeybees telling them it's trapped. Then some of its honeybee friends will come here and help it.

[00:17:52]Thank you, Clyde. Now, all we have to do is wait.

[00:18:02]It's taking so long. Yeah, I guess you're right. Let's let the honeybee go.

[00:18:13]But if honeybees don't talk to each other telepathically, how do they talk if we can't hear them talking? Oh.

[00:18:22]I know.

[00:18:23]What if this flight of the honeybees really was a dance? They could be telling each other a story, like in ballet. There's just one way for us to find out. Let's make believe that we're honeybees and fly to the beehive.

[00:18:38]>> Yay!

[00:18:49]Yay! Woohoo!

[00:18:55]Yeehaw!

[00:18:58]>> [music] >> Wow! This place is amazing.

[00:19:05]>> [music] >> And it smells so good.

[00:19:08]It smells like >> honey.

[00:19:10]>> [crying] >> Hey, where did the honey come out?

[00:19:15]It looks like a dance floor.

[00:19:18]Amazing!

[00:19:18]>> Maybe they're going to have a birthday party. Oh, but we didn't bring a present.

[00:19:25]It's waggle time. It's waggle time!

[00:19:28]Did someone say waggle time?

[00:19:31]I can waggle, too. Watch.

[00:19:33]Now you, Clyde.

[00:19:36]A sugary treat.

[00:19:38]A piece of orange cake.

[00:19:40]>> This is amazing! This is the best experience ever!

[00:19:47]I brought [music] some cake for you to taste, an orange cake that you just can't beat.

[00:19:58]>> Do you see that? They're talking about my cake.

[00:20:01]>> They're not talking. They're dancing.

[00:20:04]We're going to wiggle dance too.

[00:20:08]>> [music] >> She's saying that the cake is nearby.

[00:20:23]She told them the exact location where my cake is by dancing. That is amazing, incredible, spectacular.

[00:20:39]I'm going to get some cake. I know exactly where it is now. Me too.

[00:20:56]So it seems like the honeybees learned about my cake through a dance. A dance.

[00:21:02]How amazing is that?

[00:21:05]I think they're going to go and eat your cake. Wow, let's fly back home with them.

[00:21:20]I'm bee boy. And I'm the flying honeybee scientist.

[00:21:27]Let's all try talking by dancing.

[00:21:30]Need all.

[00:21:34]Jupiter, you have to figure out what Clyde and I are trying to tell you.

[00:21:40]Yay.

[00:21:49]Yay.

[00:22:01]I know. I know. You want to know where the honey is. I'm going to dance my answer for you. Vroom vroom honk honk vroom vroom honk honk A truck? The honey's in your little toy truck.

[00:22:26]I wonder if the honey is yellow because honeybees are yellow or is it because of the pollen from the flowers? I wonder what kind of flowers bees like the most.

[00:22:35]Big ones? Little ones? Do all honeybees make honey?

[00:22:39]So many questions.

[00:22:54]The questions and adventures never end.

[00:22:57]How do lights turn [music] on? Where have dinosaurs gone? Can the wind sing a song? Are there really black swans? Why do people yawn? Where are the stars at dawn? The questions [music] and adventures never end.
