synopsis
As they head out to harvest pollen for their honey supply, a swarm of military-outfitted bees leave one of the number, Spike, behind to guard their fortress-like hive. Donald Duck hopes to swipe some honey, but the feisty, red-haired (red HAIRED?) Spike proves to be a formidable adversary. So Donald transforms himself into a giant bee with a jerry-built costume (complete with "stinger"), gaining Spike's confidence and hoodwinking him sufficiently to sneak several quarts of honey right under his nose. The rest of the swarm returns and banishes Spike for dereliction of duty--whereupon Spike cooks up a scheme to trap Donald at his own duplicitous game.
