Bumblebee

"Smeeg smog smockeefee."

— Bumblebee attempting to mimic Sundew

Template:Charbox Bumblebee is a newborn female HiveWing that made her debut in The Hive Queen. Since Bumblebee's egg was only injected once by Queen Wasp's poison, she is most likely invincible to Wasp's mind control. She is currently on the run in Pantala with Blue, Cricket, Sundew, and Swordtail.

Appearance

Bumblebee is a small dragonet with black scales that are striped with wide fuzzy swaths of bright yellow. She was also mentioned to have small sharp claws.

Biography

The Hive Queen

Bumblebee's egg was first discovered when Cricket snuck into the Nest in Jewel Hive. Her egg had been marked 'ORPHANAGE,' and had only one of Queen Wasp's poisonous marks on its shell; Cricket rescued Bumblebee because she pitied the dragonet. After leaving the Nest, Cricket took Bumblebee's egg to one of Sundew's hideouts, where Bumblebee hatched shortly afterwards. After feeding her a fish, Cricket then tucked the sleeping Bumblebee into a scarf sling around her chest. Bumblebee was there as Blue, Cricket, Sundew, and Swordtail destroyed most of Wasp's poisonous plant supply.

Relationships

Cricket

Bumblebee seems to appreciate and like Cricket. Cricket was the dragonet who saved Bumblebee's egg from the orphanage and Queen Wasp's mind-control; she also carried Bumblebee all the way to Wasp Hive in a scarf sling tied around her chest.

Sundew

Bumblebee has an apparent fondness of Sundew, although this is likely due to Sundew giving her a fish and leaving some sort of imprint on Bumblebee. On their way to Wasp Hive, Bumblebee tried to reach Sundew by wriggling out of Cricket's chest pouch. After Sundew gave a piece of dried mango to the newborn dragonet, she was mentioned to "[give] Sundew a worshipful look."
