[distant bird tweeting]

Where's Willi?

Hmm? Hang on a minute.

Maya?

Maya, are you there?

[groans] Maya?

[echoing] Maya?

- Willi? Willi! Willi!

- [team grunting]

[low growl]

Willi! Over here!

I think we found the Megabeast.

Careful, Willi, don't wake it.

What?

[low growl]

[Willi] Whoa!

[screeches]

[giggles]

It's not as scary as it looks.

- [roars]

- [all scream]

[crowd gasps]

It sounds like someone's

found the Megabeast.

[all scream]

[all scream]

[Willi groans]

Follow that Megabeast!

[Arnie and Barney panting]

I don't understand.

We should be there now.

Um, Violet, that's what I was

trying to tell you.

If we just go north then...

I have had it with this team!

All you do is slow me down!

- Uh, can you guys hear that?

- [rumbling approaching]

The only thing you should

listen to is the sound of my...

[Violet screams]

[Team Poppy panting]

[both scream]

Jump, Willi!

[screams]

Willi!

[Mantis] Team Poppy

are first to cross the line.

- We made it!

- [Team Poppy cheers]

Yeah!

Not... so... fast!

I think you'll find I beat them.

Actually, it was first team

over the line.

[Mantis] And it's Team Tropolis

in second place.

- [panting]

- No! I am Team Tropolis!

Those slug bugs

are nothing without me!

- Huh?

- Excuse me?

- Hmph!

- Chelsea, Sandra?

I'm your captain!

Daddy, wait. I... I can explain!

Save it! Excuses are for losers!

I thought my daughter

was a winner!

But I am!

I am a winner.

[Mantis] Team Poppy

and Team Tropolis

- are our grand finalists.

- [all cheering]

[Mantis]

This calls for a celebration!

[growls]

[Empress]

Team Poppy?

How could you let this happen,

Beegood?

This is absolutely...

...wonderful news!

[Crawley] Uh...

Pack your pollen, Crawley!

We're off to the Honey Games!

Hurray! [chuckles]

[jazzy music playing]

Nice spread!

Dance, dance, dance, dance

Maya, don't let her get to you.

Yeah, she'll just get you

in trouble.

[sighs]

Come on, let's enjoy the party.

- Oh yeah.

- Hey, Flip!

Hi, Maya!

- Yeah.

- [chuckles]

Mind if I cut in?

- [giggles nervously]

- Yes.

Come on, Willi.

Hey! [groans]

[both chuckling]

We're friends, right, Willi?

- We're friends?

- Of course we're friends, silly!

[both chuckling]

[Violet] And friends help

each other, yeah?

And I gave you

all that pollen...

- [grumbles]

- ...remember?

Hi, Willi. He's dancing with me.

Uh-uh. He's dancing with me.

[Conga leader]

No, he's dancing with us!

What?

Why don't you leave us alone?

Because you don't belong here.

The Honey Games

are for the best of the best.

And you loser bugs are a joke.

We'll see who's laughing

after the grand final tomorrow.

[chuckles] Puh-lease.

You mixed up meadow bugs

don't stand a chance.

Why can't you just play fair

and leave Team Poppy alone?

[scoffs]

Tell you what.

I'll leave your precious

Team Poppy alone,

if you can beat me in a race

down Slug Hill, right now.

No. It's out of bounds.

I'm really going to enjoy

eating all your summer honey.

[snickers]

[sighs]

Okay. I'll do it.

[snickers]

[Violet]

Let's make it interesting.

- Or are you a scaredy-bug?

- Hmph!

[gasps]

[wind whistling]

[gulps]

Sandra will call out

when we pass the finish line.

[exhales deeply]

Ready, set, go!

[gasps]

[grunts]

[music continues]

[blows horn]

Maya and Violet

are racing down Slug Hill!

[all gasp]

Oh no.

[both grunt]

See you at the finish line,

loser bug!

Not if I see you first!

[snickers]

Am I at the finish line yet?

[gasps and screams]

- [crash]

- Oh, dear!

Oh, Maya!

[Maya groans]

Who... is.... responsible...

for this?

[coughing]

You!

But I wasn't! I mean... I'm...

I didn't!

[snickers]

Violet tricked me, again!

Silence!

You broke the Honey Cup!

I warned you, little bee.

You are hereby expelled

from the Honey Games!

No, please.

Out!

Oh no.

[sobs quietly]

Maya?

What happened?

Violet happened!

She got me kicked out

of the Games.

What? She wouldn't.

[sighs] Can't you see

what she's doing?

I'm sure it's just

a misunderstanding.

No, Willi.

It's up to you now.

You have to stay here

and save our honey.

Maya, wait!

[sobbing]

[wind whistling]

Ugh.

[gasps]

- [violin music playing]

- [gasps]

[Flip hums along to music]

Flip.

Hello there, little miss.

I thought I'd find you out here,

gazing at the stars.

They...

- kicked me out.

- Mm, so I heard.

Come on, sit down,

tell old Flip about it.

Flip, I broke the Honey Cup.

But... but the race

down Slug Hill

wasn't even my idea.

[sighs] You went out of bounds.

That's against the rules, Maya.

[sniffs] Violet breaks the rules

all the time.

Yes, but you're not Violet.

I just wanted to make

things right. [sobs]

I know, you wanna fix

all the problems in the meadow.

But you can't do it

all on your own, little buzzer.

You need to slow down

and listen to other bugs.

Okay.

I'm listening, Flip.

Maya, you gotta remember.

Good little bees don't blame

others for their mistakes.

So, let's think back.

Where did all

your troubles begin?

[sighs]

I didn't listen to the Queen...

and I messed everything up

when I went to see the Empress.

Well, a bug that wants

to make things right

would take responsibility

for the part they've played.

Don't you think?

Hmm. They would.

Thanks, Flip.

Good luck, Maya.

[Mantis]

Ladybugs and gentlebees!

Welcome

to the Honey Games Grand Final!

[crowd cheering]

May I proudly present

Her Majesty,

the Empress of Buzztropolis!

- [crowd cheering]

- [scoffs]

In our final event,

the remaining two teams

must navigate

the Dragonfly Rush,

and the Mudsucker Muddle

and then climb the summit

of Mount Stumpy!

[clap of thunder]

The competitors must then

retrieve the ruby pollen

from the Nani Nani Orchid!

The first team to cross the line

with the ruby pollen,

will win the Honey Cup!

[all cheering]

The losing team will receive

these novelty mugs! [chuckles]

[mug clatters]

And now, introducing

our first grand finalists...

- the favorites...

- Mm-hm.

...Team Tropolis!

[crowd cheering]

Team Poppy are gonna wish

they stayed in their swamp.

And this year's

surprising wild card...

Team Poppy!

[crowd cheering]

Go, Poppy Meadow!

- Oh, great! No one turned up.

- Oh, Arnie?

Yes, sir?

[gasps]

Oh, they turned up.

Everybody's here.

Where's Maya?

[snickers]

She's been disqualified.

[gasps] Disqualified?

On what grounds?

Oh, Beatrice, once again,

you and your hive

have proven to be a disgrace.

- But...

- [Maya] Miss Empress?

[crowd gasps]

Oh. [chuckles]

Little meadow bug.

You just don't give up, do you?

Please, hear me out.

It's not the Queen's fault.

Oh. [chuckles]

Really?

Then who's fault is it?

Mine.

I'm the one

who came to Buzztropolis

and made a mess of everything.

I didn't listen to you,

Your Majesty.

And in the Games...

I didn't listen to my team.

They trusted me and...

and I let them down.

I'm so sorry.

And I'm so sorry to you,

Miss Empress,

for not showing you respect.
