A comedy mystery-adventure about Biscuit, a bee who simply doesn’t fit in. Literally.

“Biscuit, The Enormous Bee” is a 26 x 22-minute animated mystery-adventure series for young audiences, and their families. A post-apocalyptic Mean Girls meets Gravity Falls via I’m a Virgo.

In a human-free world, long in the future, the fields in which Biscuit lives overflow with flowers, colours, pollen. Everything a happy bee could dream of. But Biscuit… Well, she is enormous. Too big for flowers, too big for the Hive, she always gets into trouble with the Princesses of The Hive. Her friends, Eclair & Sprinkles, help Biscuit however they can but they’ll always bee too small to understand.

Biscuit loves to dance, and the only place she can dance away from the stares of the other bees is deep in faraway Caraway Forest. What Biscuit doesn’t know is that the forest contains a cult of animals who believe they hold the key to bringing humanity back. Where did the humans go? How did the mysterious cult take hold? And what’s behind the door the Queen of the Hive has sworn must never be opened?
