«Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom» is a series of british animation aimed at children, created by Mark Baker and Neville Astley in 2009 and produced by Astley Baker Davies, the promoters of the world famous » Peppa Pig «.

In this small kingdom Ben is one of the great tree elves and Holly is the princess and apprentice magician, although not always spells out fine.

This series really likes to the little in house, possibly for its striking color and because the stories are simple, fun and easy to understand for children. As my niece five years old says: «I like it because you can find out whether or no elves exist and there are also humans».

Ben and Holly are friends and share adventures in the series. And one of those fun experiences led them to visit a hive.

In this episode, during a picnic, we discovered that Holly’s father, King Thistle, who is very fond of honey sandwiches, but yet hates bees. Says without hesitation that bees do nothing good and that honey bees are not the one to fill honey in the jar.
