The book tells the story from the perspective of a bee named Happy, following his journey of awakening and exploration within his hive, interspersed with vivid depictions of the natural world and the life cycles of bees. It aims to illuminate the intricate social structures, roles, and challenges faced by bees, while also drawing parallels to human experiences and emotions. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on his deep affinity for bees and describes the tranquil setting where he keeps them. Through the eyes of Happy, the reader witnesses the initial moments of life in the hive, including birth, exploration, and the unfolding social dynamics.
