a History of Messenger Bees
Season 1 · Episode 7
mardi 11 juin 2024 • Duration 19:09
There were once magical bees that told the weather and who was coming to visit; like all good things, people had to ruin it. This is the tale of Messenger Bee: glowing bumblebees with strange, precognitive abilities. Once friendly helpers, they became associated with evil spells and witchcraft, and so, as most magical things were in centuries past, they couldn't be allowed to exist.
