James tried everything to get them off, but nothing worked. Finally, they went back to the orchard, and they buzzed in to there new hive. Back at Tidmouth sheds, the Vicar thought that if it was Christmas, they should call James the red nosed engine.

Review

I thought this episode was very funny, but I didn't like the CGI cartoon bee that stung James at the station. it was also funny when Duck said Buzz, Buzz, Buzz. This episode is like the new Sharon Miller episode, Buzzy Bees, where Hero tells Thomas to take bees through the quiet woods, and not the flower garden.

Over all I give this episode a 9/10
