The Buzzy Neighbors

When Jamie discovered an insect nest outside her bedroom window, she had no idea what she had seen. But her emotions became tainted by her parents' reactions. So she would go from excitement to uncertainty and then to fear.

They wanted to protect her from things that could harm her. They wanted her to learn from the world around them safely. Jamie had extraordinary curiosity. But loving parents also know a popular saying -- "Better to be safe than sorry."

But her parents did not immediately remove the nest. Instead, they helped her learn about the misunderstood insects. Still, not without the help of Dr. Angela Bee, a kind entomologist. With Dr. Bee's help, Jamie discovered the fascinating world of hornets and their important role in nature.

Jamie's story weaves 'new' words like entomology, anaphylactic, and bald-faced into the ultimate educational summer adventure. Her friendship with Dr. Bee inspired her. Her parents never fail in supporting her. They even helped her create an insect friendly garden - and a 'bug hotel'!

That summer adventure would become the first step to a lifelong passion for studying and protecting insects.
The buzz is that sometimes the things that frighten us the most can open doors to whole new worlds of discovery.
