183
Hi, Maya.
184
Hello, Max.
185
Max, this is Momo.
186
It's big.
187
I get lost down here.
188
And there's nothing to eat.
189
It's better in a fruit.
190
In a fruit?
191
I know just where to go.
192
But we have to hurry.
193
Ben is waiting for us.
194
There!
195
You can make as many holes and eat as much as you like.
196
It's magnificent, isn't it?
197
Hmm, it's not bad, but I don't like pears.
198
They make me ill.
199
And besides, it's very small for a house.
200
Have you got any other ideas?
201
Oh, let's go.
202
A little worm that's hard to please means the bees are not at ease.
203
Well, don't forget that we did destroy his house.
204
Wait, I think I know where to take him.
205
Anybody there?
206
No one.
207
If my lord would like.
208

210
Mission accomplished!

213
Yes, it's not bad, but.. hmm...
214
What's that noise?
215
What noise? That noise!
216
There!
217
There's too much noise here and too much traffic.
218
I could never get to sleep.
219
Unbelievable.
220
Philibert, this apple's great, juicy,
221
and what's more, it's vacant.
222
It's exactly what you're looking for.
223
Okay, I understand.
224
If you don't want to help me, just say so.
225
What?
226
We've suggested lots of places.
227
Obi, you had destroyed my house.
228
What am I going to do now?
229
Moan, moan, moan!
230
He's never happy.
231
It's always too much this or too much that.
232
Right.
233
I'm gonna find Ben.
234
Don't forget that he's expecting us to help him get the party ready.
235
Stay a bit longer, Willy.
236
Please?
237
Okay.
238
But he goes too far all the same.
239
You know, Philibert, we can continue to search,
240
but it's gonna take some time.
241
I'm really tired.
242
I need to take a rest.
243
Put me back on the ground, please.
244
Just who does he think he is?
245
The Queen Bee?
246
Faster!
247
Faster, my friend!
248
Aww, I'm starving too!
249
If you're dancing you want,
250
we can show you a dance.
251
Watch!
252
That's funny,
253
and you guys are even less gifted than me.
254
So you see, you've got nothing to worry about.
255
But the dance of the bees isn't just for fun.
256
It's a very serious dance,
257
and it's very important for bees.
258
Why don't you do it for us?
259
Then we might be able to give you some advice.
260
Okay.
261
So, first of all, you run forward and then, um...
262
Oh no, no, no, you have to buzz and wiggle.
263
And then, uh, I turn left.
264
No, no, no, right.
265
And, and yes, and then I go back in the other direction.
266
You see, it's a disaster.
267
No, it's not.
268
We just have to add a few final touches.
269
You'll see.
270
First piece of advice, smile.
271
Dancing's a joyful thing.
272
It shouldn't be a chore.
273
Come on, try.
274
Like this?
275
But that's the wiggling dance.
276
How did you know that?
277
Don't you remember?
278
You showed us how to do it.
279
It works.
280
It works.
281
Look, I can dance.
282
Woo-hoo!
283
I feel just like a bee, too.
284
Well, I never.
285
Bravo!
286
Bravo, Maya!
287
It's incredible!
288
How did you get so good so fast?
289
Flip showed me that having fun is a very good way to learn the bee dance.
290
That was the secret!
291
The dance of the bees is great!
292
We still don't understand what it does,
293
but we're really enjoying it!
294
It shows you where the flowers are.
295
Oh, Maya, you have to come with me!
296
We have to find some pollen.
297
All the bees have been requisitioned to save today's harvest.
298
And thank you for your advice, Flip!
299
Don't mention it, Maya.
300
Good luck with the harvest!
301
Make sure you keep an eye on him.
302
I will soon have to go on a reconnaissance mission,
303
and I do not want him to use the opportunity to escape again!
304
Everybody's ready.
305
You'll have to pack your bags now, Willy.
306
Oh, I'm so sorry.
307
This time it's all over.
308
Oh, what am I gonna do without you?
309
Willie have you seen Miss Cassandra?
310
I'm making a going-away present for Zoe,
311
and I wanted to ask her if she'd help.
312
Oh, I think she's in the nursery.
313
Zoe and I have been friends since we were little.
314
If only I could leave with her.
315
Rotten new hive.
316
Hey, that's the solution.
317
Huh?
318
You're suggesting that Lizby moves to the new hive instead of Willie that way Everybody would be happy,
319
but the judge would never accept it
320
Unless we make him realize that Lizby would be much more useful to him than Willie Willie.
321
You'll have to be absolutely unbearable,
322
okay Captain Willie at your service your majesty.
323
Sorry Stop that right now!
324
Not now!
325
I meant when we're with Judge Beeswax.
326
Oh, uh...
327
We'll make him believe that you do everything wrong.
328
Mm-hmm.
329
So that he changes his mind.
330
Hmm, I think I know how I can help you.
331
Hey, Flip!
332
Wake up!
333
Ben!
334
Flip!
335
Maya!
336
What's happening?
337
I've got something to ask you.
338
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
339
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
340
During my absence, I'm counting on you to finish the preparations for the removal.
341
Judge Beeswax, wait!
342
Here's your escort for your reconnaissance mission.
343
Lisby has a very good sense of direction.
344
She'll certainly be very useful.
345
Good, good, yes, let her come.
346
But these two...
347
Her Majesty thinks it would do them the utmost good to learn to respect authority in your company Yes,
348
yes after all it's true that they really do need to take me as an example Oh father,
349
I've got the hiccups I must have drunk my nectar too quickly this morning.
350
But I know something to make it go away.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud β like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1β2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency β making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
