Production notes

Ten-year-old Bessie Higgenbottom is the world's most ambitious Honeybee Scout. A proud member of Honeybee Troop #828, Bessie swears by the motto, "Sisterhood, sisterhood, the most important thing, we got the honey and the sting!" Bessie has earned more Bee Badges than any other Honeybee in history, but she's still got 4,584 left to go before she can turn into "The Mighty B," the bravest (and buffest) superhero of them all! With her combination of determination and her overactive imagination, the sky's the limit for The Mighty B!
