The bold leader of the Busy Bees, Busy makes sure the rehearsal is up and contracts are flowing. She’s nice but all boss-bee.
Bumble is the coolest tech wiz. The brains of the group, she’s the voice of reason, always looking for solution rather than the problem.
Grumble is a woeful bee; sometimes considered the buzz-kill; Grumble lets the world problems and issues really affect her mood.
Wanna-Bee is the epitome of Laissez-Faire. If there’s a problem, Wanna – Bee doesn’t notice. She’s diplomatic, goes with trends and is inspired by anything that makes her little wings happy.
A spritely viejito at 80 years, Mr. Sea Turtle has been trying to get free but there is just too much plastic and pollution on his side of the ponds these days. Doubles as a Galactic Twin, and this role may be featured on video only.
