“Farmer Trotter is waiting for you, bees. You will like living on his farm.”
― Thomas talking to the bees

Buzzy Bees is the nineteenth episode of the thirteenth series.

Plot

One morning, Thomas arrives at Brendam Docks; he is to take beehives to Farmer Trotter, and Hiro is to pick up flowers from Farmer McColl. Hiro is very stern and tells Thomas to take the bees slowly and smoothly through the woods so that the bees can rest (which Thomas agrees with), while also stating that he will come and see the bees. However, Thomas takes the route along a large meadow instead as he thinks the bees will like it.

While Thomas is puffing through the meadow, he hears a buzzing sound; the bees escape and will not come back to the hives, as they are too busy with the flowers in the meadow. Thomas decides to borrow Hiro's flower truck that is waiting at Farmer McColl's to lure the bees back. Thomas leaves his truck of beehives in the meadow and takes the flower truck, only for the bees to start swarming around Thomas. He gets rid of them when he leaves behind the flower truck, only to meet Hiro at a junction and he tells Thomas that his truck of flowers had gone missing. Thomas tells Hiro the whole story and vows to put the trouble right.

Thomas collects the flower truck and couples it up to the hive truck. Then he takes the loads and the bees, who are still buzzing around him, through the cold and dark forest. The bees return to their hives as a result of this, and Thomas delivers them to Farmer Trotter. He then returns the flowers to Farmer McColl, apologises to Hiro and promises to take his advice from now on in the future.
