Synopsis

Welcome to “The Bee!” A hilarious take on the high-octane pressure of competitive spelling.

Six “tween-agers” battle it out for the glorious title of champion or a consolation juice box. Each with their own worries and pressures they seek comfort amongst the complexities of perfectly arranged letters.
