Though Ayşe prefers her city life and is terrified of bees, she agrees to stay on for a while. As she overcomes her fears and gradually learns the craft under the guidance of the family beekeeper Ahmet, she finds herself head to head with several forces threatening the colony’s wellbeing, including a marauding bear. Will she save the remaining hives?
