Green Squad members Lisa, Shakira and Sigfried hikes through a dense forest wearing beekeeper hats.
[Birds chirping]

Shakira says, COME ON LISA.
THESE SPECIES
HAVE A LOT OF BUZZ.
WE'RE ON A MISSION TO HELP AN
ALMOST 9-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO NEEDS
OUR HELP.
Sigfried says, LISA, I GET IT BUT THEY'RE
SO GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
Lisa asks, CAN YOU JUST SEND ME A TEXT
ABOUT HOW IT ALL TURNS OUT?
Sigfried says, THERE'S NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF.
Sighing, Lisa says, I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO WING IT.
An animated bee flies behind the squad members.
[Upbeat music plays]
In the opening credits, the five Green Squad friends pose. They each open bags that carry different emojis.
Eric has long, black hair, and carries gardening emojis. Lisa has long, tightly braided black hair and carries food and cooking tool emojis. Blond haired Sigfried carries activism themed emojis. Shakira has long, black hair and carries craft themed emojis. Kyle, who has short black hair, carries different modes of transportation emojis.
The friends dance and pose as text appears that reads, TVO Kids Presents.
A person reads the title, GREEN SQUAD.
A girl with long black hair sits outside.
She says, MY NAME IS KYRA.
I'M 8 YEARS OLD AND
I'M TURNING 9 THIS WEEK.
Kyra rides a bike through a neighbourhood.
She says, I LOVE TO DO BIKING AROUND.
I LOVE TO PLAY WITH
MY FRIENDS OUTSIDE.
I LIKE TO EXPLORE THE NATURE.
I LOVE BIRD
WATCHING IN MY RAVINE.
Outside, Kyra points to the ravine behind her house.
She says, LOOK MOM.
THERE'S A BLUE JAY.
Her mom stands beside her holding a younger black-haired girl.
Kyra narrates, I THINK I'M VERY LUCKY TO LIVE
IN A RAVINE BECAUSE I GET TO SEE
THE BIRDS AND BIRD
WATCHING IS MY FAVOURITE HOBBY.
A video shows Kyra using a bird whistle.
[Bird whistling]
Kyra narrates, I'M A BIT SCARED OF BEES
ALTHOUGH I LIKE THEM BECAUSE
THEY'RE GOOD FOR THE EARTH.
IF BEES WEREN'T HERE, WE WOULDN'T
HAVE FRUITS OR VEGETABLES OR
FLOWERS SO I REALLY WANT TO HELP
THEM SO WE CAN LIVE OUR LIVES
THE NORMAL WAY WITHOUT
THEM GETTING EXTINCT.
Potted flowers fill Kyra’s backyard.
Kyra says, I WANT TO BE AN ECOSYSTEM
SCIENTIST ALL THE DAY BUT IN MY
FREE TIME I WANT TO BE
AN ECOSYSTEM ARTIST.
MY BIRTHDAY PARTY'S COMING
UP THIS WEEK AND I'M PRETTY
EXCITED.
I WANT A REALLY GREAT
BIRTHDAY PARTY AND I WANT IT TO
BE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY SO I
DO REALLY NEED SOME
HELP WITH THAT.
Lisa, Shakira and Sigfried walk down a path in Kyra’s neighbourhood.
Sigfried says, WE'RE HERE TODAY TO
MEET THE AMAZING KYRA.
Shakira says, THIS IS SUCH A
BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBOURHOOD.
I CAN SEE WHY KYRA'S SO
INTERESTED IN THE OUTDOORS.
Sigfried says, ABSOLUTELY, SHE IS
DEFINITELY A FRIEND TO NATURE.
Lisa says, I'M SO EXCITED TO
MEET THIS GIRL.
Shakira and Sigfried say, ME TOO!
Lisa says, THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME.
LET'S GO!
Shakira says, LET’S GO!
The three friends run across a bridge toward other houses in the neighbourhood. Kyra greets them in her backyard.
The three squad members say, HI!
Kyra says, HI!
They all wave.
Kyra says, COME ON IN.
Lisa says, THANK YOU.
Shakira says, THANKS!
Kyra leads the squad members onto her porch.
Lisa says, HI!
Kyra’s family members say, HI!
They sit on a porch swing. Kyra points to each family member.
She says, THIS IS MY GRANDMA.
THIS IS MY MOM.
THIS IS MY DAD.
AND THIS IS MY
LITTLE SISTER TIA!
The family members say, HI!
Lisa says, HI, NICE TO MEET YOU.
Sigfried says, HI!
Shakira says, HI EVERYONE.
Kyra’s mom says, MOST WELCOME!
Shakira says, OKAY, SO, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED
AND I THINK WE SHOULD GET TO
WORK.
LET’S GO.
Lisa says, LET'S GET STARTED!
[Funky music plays]
Shakira, Sigfried and Lisa make a pyramid with Kyra on their backs.
The title appears, and a person says, GREEN SQUAD.
On the family’s porch, Lisa, Shakira and Sigfried sit facing Kyra.
Shakira asks, DO YOU LOVE BEES?
Kyra says, I DON'T LOVE BEES BUT I DO LIKE
THEM BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE BIT
SCARED OF THEM.
Sigfried says, THAT'S OKAY.
Lisa says, YEAH, ME TOO.
Sigfried says, YEAH, WE'RE GONNA,
WE'RE GONNA LEARN A LOT ABOUT
THEM TODAY AND SO, LEARNING
ABOUT THE THINGS YOU'RE AFRAID
OF SORT OF HELPS YOU CONQUER
THAT FEAR.
Kyra says, OH!
Shakira says, YEAH AND LISA HERE'S A
LITTLE BIT AFRAID OF BEES TOO...
Lisa nods.
She says, A LOT AFRAID.
[Giggling]
Shakira says, TODAY, WE'RE GONNA GO ON A FUN
LITTLE JOURNEY AND I THINK BY
THE END YOU'RE GONNA LOVE BEES.
Kyra nods and says, OKAY.
Shakira adds, LIKE US.
WE LOVE BEES.
She points to herself and Sigfried.
Sigfried says, WE LOVE THEM.
Lisa says, SO, I ALSO HEARD THAT IT'S
YOUR BIRTHDAY COMING UP.
[Party horn blowing]
A banner reads Happy Birthday.
Kyra says, YES.
Lisa says, SO, SINCE, YOU KNOW WE'RE GONNA
BE LEARNING ABOUT BEES, WE CAN
HAVE A BEE THEMED BIRTHDAY!
Kyra says, OH YEAH!
Lisa says, YEAH, THAT WOULD BE SO FUN.
A REAL "BEE" - DAY!
[Lisa giggling]
The animated bee appears.
[Bee buzzing]
Shakira says, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
WE SHOULD
PROBABLY MEET SOME BEES.
I'M SO EXCITED.
Sigfried says, ME TOO.
Kyra says, ME TOO!
Shakira says, YAY!
Lisa says, LET'S DO IT!
[Laughing]
The Green Squad members walk down a trail with Kyra.
Kyra says, I'M HALF NERVOUS HALF EXCITED.
Sigfried says, YEAH, WE HAVE TO GET
INTO OUR SPECIAL BEE SUITS.
Lisa says, OH, THEY’RE COMING HERE.
Shakira says, YOO HOO!
SOMEBODY'S ROLLING UP!
A woman with blond hair and glasses parks her van in front of the group.
She gets out and says, HI!
The others say, HI!
The woman says, HI EVERYONE, I'M MADDY.
Text reads, Maddy, Urban Beekeeper.
Kyra and the squad members say, NICE TO MEET YOU.
Maddy asks, IS EVERYONE READY?
Lisa, Shakira and Kyra say, YES!
Sigfried says, SO EXCITED.
Maddy says, WHOO!
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO!
She leads everyone into a field.
Sigfried narrates, BECAUSE WE'LL BE AROUND SO MANY
BEES WE PUT ON BEE SUITS TO
PROTECT OURSELVES.
Maddy helps Kyra into a bee suit.
Maddy says, YOU LOOK LIKE AN
ASTRONAUT.
Shakira and Lisa say, YOU DO LOOK
LIKE AN ASTRONAUT.
Lisa says, COOL!
[Laughing]
Maddy helps Lisa into a bee suit.
Sigfried says, LET'S GO LISA.
Lisa says, FASHION SHOW!
[Laughing]
Maddy helps Shakira put a suit.
[Shakira speaking indiscernibly]
Lisa says, BEES ON THE RUNWAY.
The bee suits include thick gloves. Maddy helps Sigfried with a bee suit.
Shakira asks, READY?
She and Kyra high five.
Shakira says, LETS' GO!
Maddy wears a beekeeper hat.
She says, ONE THING I LIKE TO DO IS MOVE
LIKE I'M UNDER WATER WHEN I'M
AROUND THE BEES.
SO, JUST NICE AND
SLOW AND STEADY.
ALMOST LIKE IF
YOU'VE EVER DONE YOGA.
YOU JUST WANT TO BE IN A
NICE PEACEFUL MINDSET.
[Calm music plays]
Kyra and the Green Squad members put their hands together.
They all say, OHM!
Maddy prepares a smoker.
She says, IT'S NOT VERY COMMON THAT WE'LL
GET STUNG BECAUSE WE USE THE
SMOKE TO HELP CALM THEM DOWN.
CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, IT
DOESN'T MAKE THEM SLEEPY AT ALL.
IT KIND OF JUST MAKES
THEM NICE AND CALM.
VERY MUCH LIKE THE YOGA
THAT WE WERE DOING EARLIER.
[Maddy laughing]
Lisa says, YEAH.
A bee buzzes around a flower
Maddy says, OUR LITTLE BEES HERE ARE SUPER
INTERESTED IN COLLECTING POLLEN.
SO, WHAT THEY'LL DO WHEN THEY
APPROACH A FLOWER, THEY'LL SEE
THE BRIGHT COLOURED POLLEN KIND
OF BURSTING OUT OF THE TOP OF
THE FLOWER.
THEY'LL KIND OF LIKE WIGGLE
THEIR BODY ALL OVER THE FLOWER
AND THEY HAVE THESE REALLY HAIRY
BACK LEGS AND SO THE POLLEN KIND
OF STICKS TO THEM LIKE A MAGNET
AND THEN WHEN THEY FLY AROUND
FROM FLOWER TO FLOWER, LITTLE
BITS OF THAT POLLEN KIND OF
FLAKE OFF THEIR BACK LEGS.
SO, WHEN THE POLLEN GETS MOVED
FROM FLOWER TO FLOWER TO FLOWER
THAT IS, ESSENTIALLY, HOW WE
GET FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
DOES ANYONE WANT TO GUESS HOW
MANY SPECIES OF BEES THERE ARE
IN THE WORLD?
Kyra raises her hand.
She says, 20,000.
Maddie says, OH MY GOSH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
HOW DID YOU KNOW?
[Shakira clapping]
Lisa says, I WAS GONNA SAY 8, OKAY.
[Laughing]
Lisa says, ALL RIGHT I GUESS NOT.
Maddy starts to say, DOES ANYONE WANT TO
GUESS HOW MANY....
Kyra says, I READ THAT IN A BOOK.
Maddy says, OH MY GOODNESS.
Kyra adds, AND THERE ARE
1,000 IN CANADA.
Maddy says, EXACTLY!
Sigfried says, WAY TO GO.
LET’S GO KYRA.
Shakira says, SHE REALLY IS A BEE FAN.
Maddy says, YOU REALLY, REALLY ARE.
CAN YOU NAME ANY WILD BEES
OR NATIVE BEES TO CANADA?
Kyra says, UH, THE AMERICAN BEE.
Maddy says, MM-HMM.
Kyra continues, THE GOLD AND BLACK BEE.
THE TRI-COLOURED BEE AND
THE YELLOW BANDED BEE.
Maddy nods.
She says, WOW.
Lisa says, YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT BEES.
Maddy says, WHOO!
She bows to Kyra. The Green Squad members join in.
[Laughing]
Kyra starts to bow.
Shakira says, NO, NOT YOU!
YOU’RE THE…
Maddy says, WE CAN ACTUALLY TASTE SOME
HONEY FRESH FROM THE HIVE TODAY.
She takes the lid off a beekeeper hive.
The others say, WOO!
OH WOW.
WOAH.
Sigfried says, COOL.
Shakira says, THAT'S A LOT OF BEES.
Kyra says, SO MANY.
Lisa says, YEAH.
Maddy says, ALRIGHT, SO THE BEES HAVE TO EAT
A LOT OF HONEY AND A LOT OF
NECTAR TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE
WAX.
An arrow points to the Queen bee in the hive.
Maddy says, SO, IS ANYBODY INTERESTED IN
TRYING A LITTLE BIT OF HONEY?
Lisa says, SURE, YEAH.
Kyra says, SURE, SURE.
Maddy says, SO, I'M JUST GONNA USE MY HIVE
TOOL AND KIND OF UNCAP SOME OF
THEIR HARD WORK.
She gently uncovers the honey on one of the hive’s frames with a flat tool.
One of the Green Squad members says, OOH!
She says, THEY WON'T MIND.
THEY HAVE LOTS.
Shakira quietly says, THAT'S SO COOL.
Shakira, Lisa and Sigfried remove their gloves.
She holds her beekeeper hat and swipes her finger over the honey on the frame. Sigfried and Lisa take a sample of the honey.
Maddy says, DELICIOUS, NICE AND WARM.
Shakira and Lisa try the honey. Lisa puts her hand under her beekeeper hat.
Shakira says, MM, SO SWEET.
Lisa says, OH YEAH, I LIKE HOW
ITS SO WARM.
Shakira says, MM-HMM, IT IS WARM.
Kyra takes off one of her gloves.
She says, OKAY, YEAH.
Maddy says, THEY'RE NOT GONNA BOTHER YOU
CAUSE THEY'RE BUSY DRINKING THE
HONEY THEMSELVES.
Kyra dips her finger into honey beside some of the bees.
[Gasping]
Shakira says, YAY, YOU'RE SO BRAVE!
With her beekeeper hat hanging behind her like a hood, Kyra tries the honey.
She says, MMM. YUM!
Lisa says, ISN'T IT SO GOOD?
Shakira says, IS IT GOOD?
Maddy says, I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU
KYRA.
THAT WAS A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT.
Shakira helps Kyra pulls her beekeeper hat back onto her head.
Shakira says, HER FINGER WAS RIGHT
BESIDE TWO BEES SO THAT'S PRETTY
IMPRESSIVE.
Kyra high fives Lisa. Shakira puts her own beekeeper hat back on.
Lisa says, YOU DID IT.
[Soft laughing]
Kyra asks, HOW COME BEES ARE
ENDANGERED?
Maddy says, YEAH, SO, THOSE ONES THAT LIVE
IN THE WILD ARE MORE AT RISK OF
LOSING THEIR HABITAT, AT RISK OF
BEING INJURED DUE TO THINGS LIKE
PESTICIDES AND INSECTICIDES
AS WELL AS CLIMATE CHANGE.
SO, WHAT YOU CAN DO AT
HOME IS DEFINITELY PLANT MANY
WILDFLOWERS.
THAT WOULD BE REALLY AWESOME
BECAUSE WE'RE PROVIDING A FOOD
SOURCE FOR THE BEES.
OBVIOUSLY AS WE KNOW THEY'RE
REALLY, REALLY VITAL TO OUR
SURVIVAL AS HUMANS.
TAKE A NOTE FROM KYRA HERE AND
DO LOTS OF RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN.
Shakira says, THERE YOU GO.
Maddy adds, AND SPREAD THE WORD WITH YOUR
FRIENDS.
AND NOW, KYRA, I KNOW
YOUR BIRTHDAY IS
COMING UP THIS WEEK.
Kyra says, UH-HUH.
Maddy says, MAYBE MY FRIEND JON CAN HELP
YOU OUT BY MAKING SOME SPECIAL
CANDLES FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY CAKE.
Kyra says, WOO!
Maddy says, DO YOU WANT TO GO
MEET MY FRIEND JON?
Kyra says, YEAH!
Maddy says, AWESOME.
Out of their beekeeper suits, Kyra and the Green Squad members walk with Maddy.
Maddy says, HI, JON!
Kyra and the others say, HEY, JON!
They meet Jon, who has short brown hair, glasses, and a neatly trimmed beard. He works at a table with a small pot. Text reads, Jon, Urban Beekeeper.
Jon says, HI, HOW WAS THE HIVES?
Kyra says, GOOD!
One of the squad members says, IT WAS SO GOOD.
Jon says, PERFECT.
WELL, WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO TO
TODAY IS WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT
WHAT'S INSIDE THE HIVES.
SO WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THE WAX
AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE A COUPLE OF
BEESWAX CANDLES
FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY.
SO, WE'RE GONNA TAKE A STRING
AND WHAT YOUR GONNA DO IS YOUR
GONNA DIP IT DOWN AND WE'RE
GONNA DO THAT A COUPLE OF TIMES.
Kyra and the others take turns dipping the two ends of a string into the small pot.
Sigfried narrates, BEESWAX LAYERS BUILD UP
ON THE STRING TO MAKE CANDLES.
THAT'LL BE PERFECT
FOR KRYA'S BIRTHDAY.
I'VE GOT ANOTHER IDEA
THAT I THINK SHE'LL LOVE.
Jon says, HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
ENJOY THE WAX AND WE'RE
GONNA GO CHECK OUT ON OUR HIVES.
The group hang their candles.
Kyra says, THANKS.
Kyra and the squad members say, BYE!
Maddy says, BYE!
She leaves with Jon.
Lisa adds, THANKS!
Sigfried says, SO KYRA, NOW THAT WE'VE LEARNED
MORE ABOUT THE BEES, AND SORT OF
CONQUERED OUR FEARS DO YOU FEEL
LIKE THIS IS A CAUSE THAT YOU
REALLY LIKE TO SUPPORT?
Kyra says, YEAH.
Sigfried says, AT BIRTHDAY PARTIES YOU CAN AS
YOUR FRIENDS AND ALL OF YOUR
ATTENDEES TO ALSO
DONATE TO THAT CAUSE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
Kyra says, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
Sigfried says, ITS A REALLY GREAT WAY TO DO
SOME ACTIVISM ON A SMALL SCALE.
Shakira asks, ARE YOU EXCITED FOR
YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY?
Kyra says, YEAH.
Lisa says, ITS GONNA BE
REALLY BEE-AUTIFUL.
Lisa says, ITS GONNA BE
UN-BEE-LIEVABLE.
Sigfried says, ITS GONNA BE
BEE-YOND AMAZING.
Animated bees fly around Kyra and the Green Squad members.
Lisa says, BE PREPARED FOR THE
BEST BZZZ-IRTHDAY EVER!
[Lisa giggling]
[Bee buzzing]
[Funky music plays]
The Green Squad members dance. Text reads, Green Beat.
Sigfried narrates, MY HEAD IS STILL BUZZING FROM
ALL THOSE FASCINATING FACTS
ABOUT BEES.
A banner that reads, Happy Birthday, appears over a donation box.
Sigfried narrates, I LOVE THAT KYRA IS GONNA HAVE A
DONATION BOX AT HER B-DAY PART.
WHAT A GREAT WAY TO HELP.
HERE IS ANOTHER COOL WAY.
Videos show bees pollinating flowers.
Sigfried continues, REMEMBER THOSE WILD BEE SPECIES
KYRA AND MADDY WERE TALKING
ABOUT?
WILD BEES ARE EVEN MORE
EFFICIENT POLLINATORS THAN
HONEYBEES.
THEY NEST IN SHELTERED PLACES
LIKE DEADWOOD OR EVEN THE GROUND
BUT THEY'RE LOSING THEIR HOMES
BECAUSE HUMANS ARE CHANGING THE
ENVIRONMENT.
A person mows a lawn.
[Lawnmower engine running]
An animated bee frowns.
Sigfried narrates, WE CAN HELP THEM BY
BUILDING BEE HOTELS.
THESE CAN BE MADE WITH BLOCKS
OF WOOD OR LOGS THAT HAVE SMALL
HOLES WHERE THE BEES
CAN BUILD THEIR NESTS.
OUR BEE FRIENDS DESERVE
THE 5 STAR TREATMENT.
DON'T YOU THINK?
[Funky music plays]
Kyra pushes Lisa, Sigfried and Shakira on her family’s porch swing.
A person says, GREEN SQUAD.
Kyra walks alongside the three Green Squad members.
Shakira narrates, KYRA WANTS HER PARTY TO BE
ECO-FRIENDLY WITH A BEE THEME.
I'VE GOT SOME FUN
IDEAS BACK AT HOME.
At a table with Kyra and Lisa, Shakira’s bag is in her lap.
She says, SO, I TOOK A LITTLE
TRIP TO THE THRIFT STORE.
SO, I GOT THIS WRAPPING PAPER…
She hands Kyra a roll of yellow wrapping paper.
Kyra says, NICE AND YELLOW.
Shakira adds, PIPE CLEANERS.
YELLOW STRING.
I HAVE SOME STREAMERS.
Kyra says, I'M WRAPPING THIS AROUND.
She points to rolls of white and yellow streamers.
Kyra says, BY THE WAY WHAT ARE WE MAKING?
Shakira pulls out a flat cardboard box.
She says, WE'RE GONNA MAKE A PINATA OUT OF
A CEREAL BOX I GOT FROM YOUR
RECYCLING BIN ACTUALLY.
Kyra says, OH!
Shakira says, AND WE CAN TRANSFORM THIS
INTO A REALLY COOL BEE PINATA.
Kyra says, US WORKER BEES
FOR THE QUEEN BEE!
[Kyra and Lisa laughing]
Shakira says, NO, YOU'RE THE QUEEN
BEE!
Kyra says, OKAY.
Shakira says, WE MUST SERVE THE QUEEN!
Lisa says, OKAY, THIS IS FOR YOU.
Kyra says, THANK YOU.
Lisa hands Kyra a strand of a yellow streamer and grabs a piece of tape.
Shakira says, THE THINGS PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IS
THAT BIRTHDAY PARTIES CONTRIBUTE
A LOT OF WASTE TO THE
ENVIRONMENT.
BECAUSE OF ALL THE SINGLE USE
PLASTICS AND ONE-USE OBJECTS,
RIGHT?
Kyra says, YUP.
Shakira continues, EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE USING WAS
ALREADY IN THE RECYCLING BIN AT
ONE POINT OR SECOND HAND FROM
THRIFT STORES AND I PERSONALLY
THINK THIS LOOKS BETTER THAN
JUST A NORMAL DECORATION FROM
THE STORE.
Kyra makes a bee out of the cardboard cereal box.
Lisa says, RIGHT.
Shakira says, SO, WE HAVE SOME
LOVELY HONEY CANDIES.
Kyra says, IN YOU GO.
Lisa says, IN YOU GO.
She and Kyra drop candies into the pinata.
Shakira says, AND THAT'S ALL.
LOOK HOW AMAZING THIS LOOKS GUYS!
Kyra says, YAY!
Shakira says, TODAY, WE'RE GONNA MAKE A REALLY
REALLY FUN LOOT BAG FOR YOU.
A LITTLE THING YOU COULD
PUT IN YOUR LOOT BAGS.
THEY'RE CALLED SEED-BALLS.
SEED-BALLS ARE ESSENTIALLY SOIL,
SEEDS AND A LITTLE BIT OF CLAY
MIXED TOGETHER INTO A BALL THAT
YOUR GUESTS CAN TAKE HOME WITH
THEM AND ESSENTIALLY WILDFLOWERS
ARE GONNA GROW WHERE THEY THROW
IT.
THE PROBLEM WITH LOOT BAGS IS
THAT IT'S USUALLY FILLED WITH
LITTLE TOYS, CANDY WRAPPERS AND
LIKE, CHOCOLATES THAT PRODUCE A
LOT OF WASTE.
SINGLE USE PLASTIC YOU'RE
GETTING MAYBE USE ONCE OR PLAY
WITH ONCE AND THEN THROW AWAY.
Lisa says, SO THIS IS A GOOD WAY FOR US TO
GIVE BACK TO THE BEES BY GIVING
THEM WILDFLOWERS.
Shakira says, SO YEAH, NOT ONLY ARE YOU GIVING
YOUR GUESTS A FUN LITTLE TREAT
BUT YOU'RE ALSO GIVING THE BEES
A NICE LITTLE TREAT AS WELL.
Kyra says, LIKE A BEE-DAY!
Shakira says, YEAH, ITS A REAL BEE-DAY!
An animated bee buzzes around Kyra.
Shakira says, SO WE'RE GONNA START BY
DOING THREE SCOOPS OF SOIL.
Supplies for the seed balls are on the table, including a large bowl of soil. Kyra scoops a cup of soil from the bowl.
Shakira says, PERFECT.
Lisa says, THAT LOOKS GOOD.
Kyra counts, ONE.
Lisa says, INTO THE BOX.
Kyra dumps the soil into a cardboard box, then dips the cup back into the bowl.
She says, YEAH, I'M JUST
GONNA USE MY HANDS.
She fills the cup with soil using her hands.
Shakira says, YEAH, THERE YOU GO.
Kyra says, OKAY, TWO.
She pours the second cup of soil into the box, then a third.
She says, THREE.
THAT SHOULD DO IT.
Lisa cuts through a block of clay with a piece of string.
Kyra says, FLOSS!
Shakira says, YOU'RE DOING GOOD!
[Giggling]
Kyra sings, FLOSS, YOU GOTTA FLOSS!
Lisa wiggles the string through the clay. She helps Shakira and Kyra pull it apart.
Kyra says, THERE WE GO,
OK, IT’S FLEXING APART.
Shakira says, NOW, WE'RE GONNA BREAK IT A
LITTLE BIT SO THAT IT KIND OF
GOES A LITTLE BIT EASIER.
Lisa says, YEAH.
ARE YOU JUST GONNA DO...
Shakira breaks the half piece of clay into smaller pieces.
[Lisa laughing]
Kyra says, OKAY.
I'M GONNA HELP YOU.
She breaks another piece of clay into smaller pieces.
Lisa says, INTO LITTLE PIECES...
Kyra sings, IN TEENY TINY PIECES.
EENY MEENY PIECES.
Laughing, Lisa says, OKAY.
Shakira says, AND WE NEED A
LITTLE BIT OF WATER HERE.
She pours water over the pile of soil and clay.
Kyra says, THIS IS SO FUN!
YAY.
Shakira says, NOW LETS MIX WITH OUR
HANDS.
Kyra says, YAY, MIX IT.
She starts mixing the soil and clay.
She says, COME ON LISA!
Lisa reaches into the box.
Kyra says, GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY MORE!
[Laughing]
Shakira, Kyra and Lisa start forming small balls with the damp soil and clay.
Shakira says, THE CLAY HELPS KEEP THE SHAPE OF
THE ACTUAL BALL TOGETHER.
WE'RE GONNA ADD SOME SEEDS IN.
She pours seeds over her handful of clay.
Kyra says, OOH!
She pours seeds over her seed bomb.
She says, SEED BOMB.
THERE WE GO.
IT FEELS LIKE I'M
COOKING COOKIES WITH SEEDS.
[Laughing]
Shakira collects the seed bomb balls in a tray.
She says, I THINK ITS TIME FOR US TO HEAD
TO THE KITCHEN AND BAKE FOR
REAL.
Kyra and Lisa say, YEAH.
Other seed bombs are in an egg carton.
Lisa says, WE GOTTA WASH OUR HANDS FIRST.
Shakira, Kyra and Lisa wiggle their dirt and clay covered fingers.
Together they say, SEE YOU SOON.
[Funky music plays]
The Green Squad members dance. Text reads, Green Beat.
Shakira narrates, BALLOONS ARE A POPULAR PARTY
DECORATION BUT THEY'RE ALSO HARD
ON THE PLANET.
[Balloons popping]
Shakira frowns.
She narrates, DECORATIONS MADE OF PAPER AND
CARDBOARD ARE KINDER TO THE
EARTH AND FUN TO CREATE.
PINATAS ARE ALWAYS A "HIT".
A bat hits a pinata.
Lisa narrates, LOL!
GOOD ONE!
Shakira adds, BUT I BROUGHT THE
BIODEGRADABLE BALLOONS.
Shakira narrates, I DON'T WANT TO
BURST YOUR BUBBLE LISA.
[Balloon popping]
Lisa narrates, HA.
ANOTHER GOOD ONE!
Shakira narrates, BUT EVEN BIODEGRADABLE BALLOONS
CONTRIBUTE TO OUR GARBAGE
PROBLEM.
THEY'RE MADE OUT OF LATEX AND
TAKE BETWEEN 6 MONTHS AND 6
YEARS TO BREAK DOWN.
THEY CAN ALSO CAUSE MAJOR
PROBLEMS FOR ANIMALS AND MARINE
LIFE WHO THINK THEY
LOOK LIKE A TASTY SNACK.
Trash floats over coral in the ocean.
Shakira says, ANYWAY.
WHO NEEDS THEM?
DEFINITELY NOT KYRA.
Kyra works on another craft with Lisa.
Shakira narrates, 3 CHEERS FOR PAPER
PARTY DECORATIONS!
[Party horn]
Shakira and Lisa cheer, HIP-HIP HOORAY!
[Funky music plays]
Kyra, Shakira, Lisa and Sigfried water the plants in Kyra’s backyard.
A person says, GREEN SQUAD.
In the kitchen with Shakira and Kyra, Lisa wears an apron with her name on it.
She says, NOW THAT WE WASHED OUR HANDS,
NO BIRTHDAY PARTY IS COMPLETE
WITHOUT A CAKE...
[Party horn]
Kyra looks excited.
Lisa continues, AND WE'RE
GONNA USE THE BEES FAVOURITE
INGREDIENT,
WHICH IS?
Kyra says, HONEY.
Lisa says, HONEY, EXACTLY.
BUT NOT JUST ANY HONEY.
WE'RE GONNA BE USING RAW HONEY.
WHICH MEANS IT'S COMPLETELY
NATURAL, NOTHING'S HAPPENED TO
IT.
Shakira adds, AND ALSO, IT'S A BEE PARTY SO IT
CAN'T BE A BEE PARTY WITHOUT
HONEY.
RIGHT?
Lisa says, YEAH, OF COURSE.
Shakira says, I'M ACTUALLY GONNA POP OUT
BECAUSE I HAVE SOME MORE THINGS
TO DO.
THERE'S ALL THE DECORATIONS
THAT I HAVE TO FINISH UP.
She grabs a terracotta pot and some lavender flowers.
Lisa says, BYE.
Kyra says, SEE YA!
Shakira leaves. Lisa grabs a measuring cup.
She says, STARTING WITH FLOUR.
WE NEED 2 CUPS.
Text reads, 2 cups = 500ml. Kyra pours a cup of flour into a mixing bowl.
She says, GOODBYE!
[Lisa laughing]
Kyra adds another cup of flour to the bowl.
She says, GOODBYE.
Lisa says, SALT AND BAKING SODA.
Kyra adds the next ingredients to the mixing bowl. Text reads, ½ tsp each = 2.5ml.
Kyra says, YEAH!
GOODBYE!
Lisa says, SO, FOR THE HONEY WE
NEED TO MAKE 2 CUPS.
She fills a measuring cup with the thick, raw honey. Text reads, 2 cups = 500ml. Kyra scrapes the honey into the bowl.
Kyra says, AND THEN THE EGGS.
She cracks an egg into the bowl. Text reads, 3 eggs.
Lisa says, WE GOT THE BUTTER IN THE MIXER
AND NOW WE JUST NEED TO BEAT IT
UNTIL ITS A NICE SOFT TEXTURE.
Kyra says, OKAY.
Text reads, ½ cup = 125ml. Kyra turns on the mixer.
She says, THERE YOU GO.
Lisa says, YEAH, LOOKS GOOD.
Kyra holds a cake pan steady while Lisa puts the cake batter in.
Lisa says, SO, NOW IT'S TIME TO PUT IT
IN THE CAKE PAN AND THEN WITH
WHATEVER WE HAVE
LEFTOVER WELL PUT IN THE TINS.
Kyra scoops cake batter into a muffin tin.
She says, IN YOU GO.
GOOD.
Shakira asks, WHAT IS GOING IN IN
HERE?
She joins Lisa and Kyra.
Kyra says, WE'RE MAKING CAKES AND CUPCAKES.
Shakira says, OH MY.
IT LOOKS SO GOOD.
IT SMELLS REALLY GOOD TOO.
She carries pots holding different gift items.
She says, SO HERE'S THE LOOT BAGS THAT
I JUST FINISHED UP RIGHT NOW.
Shakira hands Lisa one of the pots.
She says, I'LL SHOW YOU GUYS.
Kyra says, OOH!
Shakira says, HERE WE HAVE THE SEED
BALLS THAT WE MADE.
I WRAPPED THEM UP IN THE
THRIFTED FABRIC AND THEN WE HAVE
THE HONEY THAT THE BEE FARM
GENEROUSLY GAVE TO US AND THEN
LASTLY, WE HAVE LAVENDER
FROM KYRA'S BACKYARD.
Kyra and Lisa smell the lavender.
Shakira says, SMELLS VERY GOOD.
Kyra says, MMM, SMELLS GOOD.
Shakira says, AND IT ADDS A
LITTLE NICE COLOUR.
Kyra says, IT'S NICE THAT YOU PUT IT
IN THE POT FOR THE LOOT POT.
Shakira says, YEAH BECAUSE THEN THEY COULD USE
THIS FOR SOMETHING ELSE, RIGHT?
Kyra says, YEAH.
Shakira asks, SO, WHATS NEXT?
Lisa says, NEXT WE'RE GONNA
MAKE THE FROSTING.
Kyra says, YES!
Shakira says, OKAY, I'LL DEFINITELY
BE BACK FOR THAT.
She takes the loot bag pot from Lisa.
Lisa says, SEE YOU IN A BIT.
Kyra says, SEE YOU LATER.
Shakira says, BYE!
She leaves.
Lisa says, WE'RE GONNA START BY
PUTTING THE BUTTER IN ACTUALLY.
Kyra adds butter to the mixing bowl. Text reads, ½ cup, 125ml. Lisa fills a measuring cup with raw honey. Text reads, ½ cup, 125ml.
Kyra says, IN YOU GO HONEY!
Lisa dumps the honey into the bowl.
Kyra asks, READY FOR THE VANILLA?
Lisa says, SURE, YOU CAN ADD IT RIGHT NOW.
Kyra says, IN YOU GO.
She pours vanilla into the mixing bowl. Text reads, 2 tsp = 10ml.
Lisa says, TO KEEP WITH THE BEE THEME WE
ARE GOING TO DYE THIS LOVELY
VANILLA BUTTER CREAM YELLOW.
Kyra squeezes drops of yellow food die into the bowl. Text reads, 5 drops.
Kyra counts, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
THAT SHOULD DO IT.
Lisa mixes the ingredients together.
Shakira says, LOOKS LIKE I'VE
ARRIVED AT THE RIGHT TIME.
She carries the bee pinata and another yellow box. Lisa spreads dark grey icing onto a layer of cake.
She says, OH,
HEY!
Shakira says, HI!
SO, IS YOUR
FROSTING AND CAKE READY?
Lisa says, WE ARE GETTING THE IN
BETWEEN LAYERS AND THEN, CHOMP!
Shakira says, I CAN'T WAIT TO HELP BUT
FIRST, LOOK WHAT I HAVE.
I KNOW WE DID IT BEFORE BUT I
DID SOME FINISHING TOUCHES.
The bee pinata has tiny cuts on the streamers that look like the fuzz on a bee.
Lisa says, IT LOOKS GREAT.
Shakira says, THANK YOU AND THEN OVER HERE I
ACTUALLY MADE THIS BOX THAT,
KYRA, FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY, YOU CAN
COLLECT DONATIONS FROM ALL YOUR
FRIENDS AND GUESTS.
A tissue donation box looks like a bee.
Kyra says, OH, THAT'S GONNA HELP ME
DONATE TO THE BEE CAUSE.
Shakira says, YEAH.
[Quick, upbeat music plays]
In a timelapse, Shakira, Lisa and Kyra decorate the bee cake.
Kyra says, IT WAS SO FUNNY THAT THE HONEY
THAT THE BEE MAKES, IT COMES
RIGHT INTO MY CAKE SO I WANT TO
SAY THANK YOU TO THE BEES FOR
GIVING ME HONEY FOR
MY BIRTHDAY CAKE.
[Funky music plays]
The Green Squad dances. Text reads, Green Beat.
Lisa narrates, I LOVE SWEETS AND THOSE
HONEY CUPCAKES WERE SO YUMMY!
Kyra decorates the honey cupcakes.
Lisa narrates, THE PLANET THINKS
THEY'RE PRETTY YUMMY TOO.
Kyra eats a cupcake.
Lisa narrates, NATURAL SWEETENERS, LIKE LOCAL
HONEY, MAPLE SYRUP OR SUGAR MADE
FROM PALM OR COCONUT TREES
REQUIRE LESS PROCESSING AND
POLLUTE LESS THAN REFINED SUGAR.
REFINED SUGAR NEEDS A LOT OF
LAND TO GROW SUGAR CANE AND THEN
REQUIRES LOTS OF PROCESSING.
MEANING POLLUTION IS
RELEASED IN OUR AIR AND WATER.
YUMMY HONEY AND A HEALTHY
PLANET GO HAND IN HAND.
I'LL GET IN ON THAT TOO.
[Bees buzzing]
[Upbeat music plays]
In Kyra’s backyard, Shakira, Sigfried, Lisa and Kyra make a human pyramid.
A person says, GREEN SQUAD.
In the kitchen, Lisa turns Kyra’s finished cake around.
She says, I THINK IT'S ALL DONE.
The cake reads, Happy Bee Day!
Kyra calls out, MAMMA, DADDA, NANNI, NANNU!
Subtitles read, Mom! Dad! Grandma, Grandpa! Come here!
Kyra’s family gathers in the kitchen.
They say, WOAH!
Kyra’s mom says, THIS IS...
Her dad says, THIS LOOKS AMAZING.
Her mom says, THIS IS AMAZING.
Kyra speaks in a foreign language.
Her dad asks, WILL THIS CAKE FLY?
[Laughing]
Lisa says, IT MIGHT, WE MAY HAVE
TO LIKE, SECURE IT DOWN.
[Kyra’s dad making buzzing sounds]
[Laughing]
Kyra’s mom says, GREAT JOB!
Lisa says, THESE ARE SOME LOVELY
CUPCAKES THAT KYRA DECORATED.
SO, WE'RE GONNA TASTE THEM TO
GET AN IMPRESSION OF WHAT THE
CAKE TASTES LIKE.
Everyone raises a cupcake and says, TO THE HONEYBEES!
Kyra says, MY FAVOURITE NEW INSECT!
[Laughing]
Shakira says, YES!
Kyra’s dad starts to bite into his cupcake.
Kyra’s mom says, BIG ONE!
BIG ONE!
Lisa says, WHOLE CUPCAKE, WHOLE CUPCAKE,
WHOLE CUPCAKE!
Kyra’s dad takes a bite of his cupcake.
He says, OH YUM.
[Kyra’s mom giggling]
Lisa says, WE JUST WANT TO WISH YOU
THE HAPPIEST OF "BEE"DAYS!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
SHARING YOUR BIRTHDAY WITH US.
WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE A GREAT TIME TOMORROW
I'M SURE.
Kyra says, I'M REALLY GONNA MISS YOU GUYS.
Lisa and Shakira say, AW, WE'RE GONNA
MISS YOU TOO!
They hug Kyra.
Shakira says, WE CANT WAIT TO SEE
HOW YOUR BIG DAY GOES.
Lisa says, FOR SURE.
WE'LL BE CHECKING IN TO SEE
WHAT THE BUZZ IS ABOUT FOR YOUR
BIRTHDAY.
[Laughing]
Kyra says, YEAH!
[Cheerful music plays]
Text reads, Squad Tip. The Green Squad makes a human pyramid. Shakira stands behind a table with a decorative gift box.
She says, YOU CAN START REUSING
AND RECYCLING AT ANY AGE.
WHEN I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD I
WANTED TO GET MY MOM A SPECIAL
GIFT SO, TO WRAP IT, I DID
SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT GREEN.
I USED A BOX THAT WOULD HAVE
GOT THROWN IN THE GARBAGE, THEN I
USED TISSUE PAPER.
BY CUTTING UP OLD TISSUE PAPER
FROM MY OLD GIFTS THAT I HAD
RECEIVED.
I USED A RIBBON THAT I HAD AND I
ALSO USED SOME FAKE FLOWERS AND
BUTTERFLIES THAT
I HAD IN MY ROOM.
Lisa points to different parts of the gift box.
She says, IN THE END IT TURNED OUT GREAT
AND MY MOM STILL USES IT TODAY.
GIFT WRAPPING CREATES
MOUNTAINS OF PAPER WASTE.
IT'S NOT SO PLANET FRIENDLY
AND IT RESULTS IN A LOT OF TREES
GETTING CUT DOWN TO MAKE THE
PAPER BUT DON'T WORRY THERE ARE
LOTS OF ALTERNATIVES.
FOR STARTERS, NEWSPAPERS.
IF YOUR FAMILY STILL HAS SOME
LYING AROUND USE THEM TO WRAP
YOUR GIFTS.
Shakira holds up a box wrapped in newspaper.
She says, YOU CAN ALSO USE CLOTHING
ITEMS LIKE BANDANAS OR SCARVES.
Shakira lays a square scarf out on the table.
She says, I GRAB MY GIFT THEN YOU FLIP,
FLIP, FLIP, FLIP, THEN YOU FOLD
THIS LAST FLAP IN, GRAB THE
TWO SIDES, MAKE A LITTLE BOW AND
THERE YOU HAVE IT.
She wraps a box in the scarf.
She says, A GIFT WRAPPED IN A SCARF.
PRETTY COOL, HUH?
[Upbeat music plays]
The Green Squad pose together. Text reads, Check-In. The Squad sits together in front of a tablet.
Lisa says, LET'S SEE HOW KYRA'S
BIRTHDAY TURNED OUT.
She plays a video of Kyra on the tablet.
Kyra says, I FEEL VERY EXCITED ON MY
BIRTHDAY BECAUSE I USUALLY FEEL
EXCITED, BUT I'M VERY EXCITED
THIS TIME BECAUSE I'M LOOKING
FORWARD TO PLAYING WITH MY
FRIENDS AND I WANT TO SEE HOW
MUCH DONATIONS WE
GET FOR THE BEE FARMS.
Lisa comments, THE DECORATIONS LOOK GREAT.
At Kyra’s house, her mom answers the door.
People cheer, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYRA!
Kyra runs to the door and says, THANKS!
She plays with her friends.
Kyra narrates, THE PARTY WENT AMAZING.
I HAD A TON OF FUN.
THE PINATA WAS AWESOME.
THAT WAS THE FIRST THING WE DID.
Outside, Kyra swings a bat at the bee pinata hanging from the porch swing.
Lisa says, AW.
One of Kyra’s friends hits the pinata. Kyra its it and the candies fall out.
Shakira says, SHE GOT IT, THAT'S GREAT!
Kyra narrates, SO, I WAS THE ONE WHO
CRACKED THE PINATA.
She and her friends collect the fallen candy.
She later says, THANKS SHAKIRA.
THE PINATA WAS
PERFECT.
Sigfried says, AW, THAT WAS FANTASTIC!
Shakira says, IT SEEMS SO FUN!
Sigfried says, IT WAS SO ON THEME.
LIKE IT WAS REALLY...
Shakira says, YEAH.
Lisa says, YEAH, I WAS GONNA SAY THE BEE
THEME REALLY CAME THROUGH.
IT LOOKS AMAZING.
In the video, Kyra says, THANK YOU SIGFRIED, FOR
REMOVING MY FEAR OF BEES.
Sigfried smiles and nods.
Kyra adds, I WAS ACTUALLY SCARED
BEFORE BUT NOW I'M NOT.
I'M LIKE CALM WITH BEES.
COMING AROUND.
FLYING AROUND MY HEAD.
I JUST LOOK UP.
Eric says, I LOVE HER ATTITUDE.
Sigfried says, WHEN WE WENT TO THE BEEHIVE, SHE
WAS SUPER POSITIVE EVEN THOUGH
SHE WAS A LITTLE BIT SCARED.
IT WAS REALLY COOL.
In the video, Kyra asks her friends, HOW MANY BEE SPECIES
ARE THERE IN THE WORLD?
Sigfried says, SHE'S QUIZZING THEM!
One of Kyra’s friends asks, TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY?
Eric says, SHE'S CREATING A BEEHIVE OF
KNOWLEDGE.
[Laughing]
Lisa says, YEAH.
KYRA THE QUEEN BEE!
Eric says, KYRA THE QUEEN BEE!
THERE YOU GO!
In the video, the party goers gather around a table.
Kyra’s dad starts singing, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU…
The Green Squad joins in, singing, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
In the video, Kyra says, THANK YOU LISA FOR
HELPING ME BAKE THE CAKE.
IT WAS AWESOME.
For a picture, the party goers say, BEE!
Kyra takes a bite of her cake.
She narrates, BECAUSE IT WAS MY FIRST TIME
MAKING ICING AND HONEY CAKE SO I
LOVED IT AND ALL
MY FRIENDS DID TOO.
THANKS LISA!
MY FRIENDS ALSO LOVED THE
LOOT BAGS AND THEY WERE AMAZING.
Kyra explains to her friends, SO YOU JUST WANT TO THROW THESE
IN YOUR BACKYARDS OR PLANT THEM
IN THESE POTS.
OKAY?
One of her friends says, YEAH.
Kyra continues, AND THEN AFTER A TIME THEY'LL
GROW INTO WILDFLOWERS.
Lisa says, I LOVE HOW SHE'S JUST SHARING
THE KNOWLEDGE OF EVERYTHING SHE
LEARNED.
Kyra says, THEN WE GOT THE TERRACOTTA POT.
She hands one to a friend.
She says, AND THANK YOU MYRA FOR COMING.
Eric says, OFTEN YOU JUST GET STUFF IN LOOT
BAGS…
He and Sigfried both say, …AND THEN YOU JUST THROW IT
AWAY.
Eric continues, YOU DON'T USE IT BUT
EVERYTHING THERE IS USABLE.
THE CANDLES, THE SEED
BOMBS AND EVERYTHING.
Lisa says, YEAH, EVEN THE BAG ITSELF,
THE TERRACOTTA POT.
Eric says, THE TERRACOTTA POT, WHAT A
CREATIVE WAY.
Lisa says, YEAH.
In the video, Kyra says, SO WE WANT TO KEEP THE BEES
HEALTHY AND PLANT MORE
WILDFLOWERS.
SO, LET'S GO.
She and her friends add donations to the donation box. They wave with her family members.
They cheer, WOO!
Shakira says, I'M JUST SO PROUD OF KYRA.
SHE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT
CONSERVATION AND RAISING
AWARENESS AND SHE'S APPLYING
THAT TO HER FRIEND GROUP WHICH
IS SO COOL.
Kyle and Sigfried nod.
Lisa says, YEAH.
SHE REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE
WITH THIS GREAT BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Shakira says, KYRA, WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU.
The entire Green Squad says, GO KYRA!

[Birds chirping]
Lisa says, GUYS, I'M NERVOUS.
Shakira says, COME ON LISA.
THESE SPECIES
HAVE A LOT OF BUZZ.
WE'RE ON A MISSION TO HELP AN
ALMOST 9-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO NEEDS
OUR HELP.
Sigfried says, LISA, I GET IT BUT THEY'RE
SO GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
Lisa asks, CAN YOU JUST SEND ME A TEXT
ABOUT HOW IT ALL TURNS OUT?
Sigfried says, THERE'S NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF.
Sighing, Lisa says, I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO WING IT.
An animated bee flies behind the squad members.
[Upbeat music plays]
In the opening credits, the five Green Squad friends pose. They each open bags that carry different emojis.
Eric has long, black hair, and carries gardening emojis. Lisa has long, tightly braided black hair and carries food and cooking tool emojis. Blond haired Sigfried carries activism themed emojis. Shakira has long, black hair and carries craft themed emojis. Kyle, who has short black hair, carries different modes of transportation emojis.

A girl with long black hair sits outside.
She says, MY NAME IS KYRA.
I'M 8 YEARS OLD AND
I'M TURNING 9 THIS WEEK.
Kyra rides a bike through a neighbourhood.
She says, I LOVE TO DO BIKING AROUND.
I LOVE TO PLAY WITH
MY FRIENDS OUTSIDE.
I LIKE TO EXPLORE THE NATURE.
I LOVE BIRD
WATCHING IN MY RAVINE.
Outside, Kyra points to the ravine behind her house.
She says, LOOK MOM.
THERE'S A BLUE JAY.
Her mom stands beside her holding a younger black-haired girl.
Kyra narrates, I THINK I'M VERY LUCKY TO LIVE
IN A RAVINE BECAUSE I GET TO SEE
THE BIRDS AND BIRD
WATCHING IS MY FAVOURITE HOBBY.
A video shows Kyra using a bird whistle.
[Bird whistling]
Kyra narrates, I'M A BIT SCARED OF BEES
ALTHOUGH I LIKE THEM BECAUSE
THEY'RE GOOD FOR THE EARTH.
IF BEES WEREN'T HERE, WE WOULDN'T
HAVE FRUITS OR VEGETABLES OR
FLOWERS SO I REALLY WANT TO HELP
THEM SO WE CAN LIVE OUR LIVES
THE NORMAL WAY WITHOUT
THEM GETTING EXTINCT.
Potted flowers fill Kyra’s backyard.
Kyra says, I WANT TO BE AN ECOSYSTEM
SCIENTIST ALL THE DAY BUT IN MY
FREE TIME I WANT TO BE
AN ECOSYSTEM ARTIST.
MY BIRTHDAY PARTY'S COMING
UP THIS WEEK AND I'M PRETTY
EXCITED.
I WANT A REALLY GREAT
BIRTHDAY PARTY AND I WANT IT TO
BE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY SO I
DO REALLY NEED SOME
HELP WITH THAT.
Lisa, Shakira and Sigfried walk down a path in Kyra’s neighbourhood.
Sigfried says, WE'RE HERE TODAY TO
MEET THE AMAZING KYRA.
Shakira says, THIS IS SUCH A
BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBOURHOOD.
I CAN SEE WHY KYRA'S SO
INTERESTED IN THE OUTDOORS.
Sigfried says, ABSOLUTELY, SHE IS
DEFINITELY A FRIEND TO NATURE.
Lisa says, I'M SO EXCITED TO
MEET THIS GIRL.
Shakira and Sigfried say, ME TOO!
Lisa says, THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME.
LET'S GO!
Shakira says, LET’S GO!
The three friends run across a bridge toward other houses in the neighbourhood. Kyra greets them in her backyard.
The three squad members say, HI!
Kyra says, HI!
They all wave.
Kyra says, COME ON IN.
Lisa says, THANK YOU.
Shakira says, THANKS!
Kyra leads the squad members onto her porch.
Lisa says, HI!
Kyra’s family members say, HI!
They sit on a porch swing. Kyra points to each family member.
She says, THIS IS MY GRANDMA.
THIS IS MY MOM.
THIS IS MY DAD.
AND THIS IS MY
LITTLE SISTER TIA!
The family members say, HI!
Lisa says, HI, NICE TO MEET YOU.
Sigfried says, HI!
Shakira says, HI EVERYONE.
Kyra’s mom says, MOST WELCOME!
Shakira says, OKAY, SO, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED
AND I THINK WE SHOULD GET TO
WORK.
LET’S GO.
Lisa says, LET'S GET STARTED!
[Funky music plays]
Shakira, Sigfried and Lisa make a pyramid with Kyra on their backs.
The title appears, and a person says, GREEN SQUAD.
On the family’s porch, Lisa, Shakira and Sigfried sit facing Kyra.
Shakira asks, DO YOU LOVE BEES?
Kyra says, I DON'T LOVE BEES BUT I DO LIKE
THEM BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE BIT
SCARED OF THEM.
Sigfried says, THAT'S OKAY.
Lisa says, YEAH, ME TOO.
Sigfried says, YEAH, WE'RE GONNA,
WE'RE GONNA LEARN A LOT ABOUT
THEM TODAY AND SO, LEARNING
ABOUT THE THINGS YOU'RE AFRAID
OF SORT OF HELPS YOU CONQUER
THAT FEAR.
Kyra says, OH!
Shakira says, YEAH AND LISA HERE'S A
LITTLE BIT AFRAID OF BEES TOO...
Lisa nods.
She says, A LOT AFRAID.
[Giggling]
Shakira says, TODAY, WE'RE GONNA GO ON A FUN
LITTLE JOURNEY AND I THINK BY
THE END YOU'RE GONNA LOVE BEES.
Kyra nods and says, OKAY.
Shakira adds, LIKE US.
WE LOVE BEES.
She points to herself and Sigfried.
Sigfried says, WE LOVE THEM.
Lisa says, SO, I ALSO HEARD THAT IT'S
YOUR BIRTHDAY COMING UP.
[Party horn blowing]
A banner reads Happy Birthday.
Kyra says, YES.
Lisa says, SO, SINCE, YOU KNOW WE'RE GONNA
BE LEARNING ABOUT BEES, WE CAN
HAVE A BEE THEMED BIRTHDAY!
Kyra says, OH YEAH!
Lisa says, YEAH, THAT WOULD BE SO FUN.
A REAL "BEE" - DAY!
[Lisa giggling]
The animated bee appears.
[Bee buzzing]
Shakira says, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
WE SHOULD
PROBABLY MEET SOME BEES.
I'M SO EXCITED.
Sigfried says, ME TOO.
Kyra says, ME TOO!
Shakira says, YAY!
Lisa says, LET'S DO IT!
[Laughing]
The Green Squad members walk down a trail with Kyra.
Kyra says, I'M HALF NERVOUS HALF EXCITED.
Sigfried says, YEAH, WE HAVE TO GET
INTO OUR SPECIAL BEE SUITS.
Lisa says, OH, THEY’RE COMING HERE.
Shakira says, YOO HOO!
SOMEBODY'S ROLLING UP!
A woman with blond hair and glasses parks her van in front of the group.
She gets out and says, HI!
The others say, HI!
The woman says, HI EVERYONE, I'M MADDY.
Text reads, Maddy, Urban Beekeeper.
Kyra and the squad members say, NICE TO MEET YOU.
Maddy asks, IS EVERYONE READY?
Lisa, Shakira and Kyra say, YES!
Sigfried says, SO EXCITED.
Maddy says, WHOO!
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO!
She leads everyone into a field.
Sigfried narrates, BECAUSE WE'LL BE AROUND SO MANY
BEES WE PUT ON BEE SUITS TO
PROTECT OURSELVES.
Maddy helps Kyra into a bee suit.
Maddy says, YOU LOOK LIKE AN
ASTRONAUT.
Shakira and Lisa say, YOU DO LOOK
LIKE AN ASTRONAUT.
Lisa says, COOL!
[Laughing]
Maddy helps Lisa into a bee suit.
Sigfried says, LET'S GO LISA.
Lisa says, FASHION SHOW!
[Laughing]
Maddy helps Shakira put a suit.
[Shakira speaking indiscernibly]
Lisa says, BEES ON THE RUNWAY.
The bee suits include thick gloves. Maddy helps Sigfried with a bee suit.
Shakira asks, READY?
She and Kyra high five.
Shakira says, LETS' GO!
Maddy wears a beekeeper hat.
She says, ONE THING I LIKE TO DO IS MOVE
LIKE I'M UNDER WATER WHEN I'M
AROUND THE BEES.
SO, JUST NICE AND
SLOW AND STEADY.
ALMOST LIKE IF
YOU'VE EVER DONE YOGA.
YOU JUST WANT TO BE IN A
NICE PEACEFUL MINDSET.
[Calm music plays]
Kyra and the Green Squad members put their hands together.
They all say, OHM!
Maddy prepares a smoker.
She says, IT'S NOT VERY COMMON THAT WE'LL
GET STUNG BECAUSE WE USE THE
SMOKE TO HELP CALM THEM DOWN.
CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, IT
DOESN'T MAKE THEM SLEEPY AT ALL.
IT KIND OF JUST MAKES
THEM NICE AND CALM.
VERY MUCH LIKE THE YOGA
THAT WE WERE DOING EARLIER.
[Maddy laughing]
Lisa says, YEAH.
A bee buzzes around a flower
Maddy says, OUR LITTLE BEES HERE ARE SUPER
INTERESTED IN COLLECTING POLLEN.
SO, WHAT THEY'LL DO WHEN THEY
APPROACH A FLOWER, THEY'LL SEE
THE BRIGHT COLOURED POLLEN KIND
OF BURSTING OUT OF THE TOP OF
THE FLOWER.
THEY'LL KIND OF LIKE WIGGLE
THEIR BODY ALL OVER THE FLOWER
AND THEY HAVE THESE REALLY HAIRY
BACK LEGS AND SO THE POLLEN KIND
OF STICKS TO THEM LIKE A MAGNET
AND THEN WHEN THEY FLY AROUND
FROM FLOWER TO FLOWER, LITTLE
BITS OF THAT POLLEN KIND OF
FLAKE OFF THEIR BACK LEGS.
SO, WHEN THE POLLEN GETS MOVED
FROM FLOWER TO FLOWER TO FLOWER
THAT IS, ESSENTIALLY, HOW WE
GET FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
DOES ANYONE WANT TO GUESS HOW
MANY SPECIES OF BEES THERE ARE
IN THE WORLD?
Kyra raises her hand.
She says, 20,000.
Maddie says, OH MY GOSH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
HOW DID YOU KNOW?
[Shakira clapping]
Lisa says, I WAS GONNA SAY 8, OKAY.
[Laughing]
Lisa says, ALL RIGHT I GUESS NOT.
Maddy starts to say, DOES ANYONE WANT TO
GUESS HOW MANY....
Kyra says, I READ THAT IN A BOOK.
Maddy says, OH MY GOODNESS.
Kyra adds, AND THERE ARE
1,000 IN CANADA.
Maddy says, EXACTLY!
Sigfried says, WAY TO GO.
LET’S GO KYRA.
Shakira says, SHE REALLY IS A BEE FAN.
Maddy says, YOU REALLY, REALLY ARE.
CAN YOU NAME ANY WILD BEES
OR NATIVE BEES TO CANADA?
Kyra says, UH, THE AMERICAN BEE.
Maddy says, MM-HMM.
Kyra continues, THE GOLD AND BLACK BEE.
THE TRI-COLOURED BEE AND
THE YELLOW BANDED BEE.
Maddy nods.
She says, WOW.
Lisa says, YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT BEES.
Maddy says, WHOO!
She bows to Kyra. The Green Squad members join in.
[Laughing]
Kyra starts to bow.
Shakira says, NO, NOT YOU!
YOU’RE THE…
Maddy says, WE CAN ACTUALLY TASTE SOME
HONEY FRESH FROM THE HIVE TODAY.
She takes the lid off a beekeeper hive.
The others say, WOO!
OH WOW.
WOAH.
Sigfried says, COOL.
Shakira says, THAT'S A LOT OF BEES.
Kyra says, SO MANY.
Lisa says, YEAH.
Maddy says, ALRIGHT, SO THE BEES HAVE TO EAT
A LOT OF HONEY AND A LOT OF
NECTAR TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE
WAX.
An arrow points to the Queen bee in the hive.
Maddy says, SO, IS ANYBODY INTERESTED IN
TRYING A LITTLE BIT OF HONEY?
Lisa says, SURE, YEAH.
Kyra says, SURE, SURE.
Maddy says, SO, I'M JUST GONNA USE MY HIVE
TOOL AND KIND OF UNCAP SOME OF
THEIR HARD WORK.
She gently uncovers the honey on one of the hive’s frames with a flat tool.
One of the Green Squad members says, OOH!
She says, THEY WON'T MIND.
THEY HAVE LOTS.
Shakira quietly says, THAT'S SO COOL.
Shakira, Lisa and Sigfried remove their gloves.
She holds her beekeeper hat and swipes her finger over the honey on the frame. Sigfried and Lisa take a sample of the honey.
Maddy says, DELICIOUS, NICE AND WARM.
Shakira and Lisa try the honey. Lisa puts her hand under her beekeeper hat.
Shakira says, MM, SO SWEET.
Lisa says, OH YEAH, I LIKE HOW
ITS SO WARM.
Shakira says, MM-HMM, IT IS WARM.
Kyra takes off one of her gloves.
She says, OKAY, YEAH.
Maddy says, THEY'RE NOT GONNA BOTHER YOU
CAUSE THEY'RE BUSY DRINKING THE
HONEY THEMSELVES.
Kyra dips her finger into honey beside some of the bees.
[Gasping]
Shakira says, YAY, YOU'RE SO BRAVE!
With her beekeeper hat hanging behind her like a hood, Kyra tries the honey.
She says, MMM. YUM!
Lisa says, ISN'T IT SO GOOD?
Shakira says, IS IT GOOD?
Maddy says, I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU
KYRA.
THAT WAS A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT.
Shakira helps Kyra pulls her beekeeper hat back onto her head.
Shakira says, HER FINGER WAS RIGHT
BESIDE TWO BEES SO THAT'S PRETTY
IMPRESSIVE.
Kyra high fives Lisa. Shakira puts her own beekeeper hat back on.
Lisa says, YOU DID IT.
[Soft laughing]
Kyra asks, HOW COME BEES ARE
ENDANGERED?
Maddy says, YEAH, SO, THOSE ONES THAT LIVE
IN THE WILD ARE MORE AT RISK OF
LOSING THEIR HABITAT, AT RISK OF
BEING INJURED DUE TO THINGS LIKE
PESTICIDES AND INSECTICIDES
AS WELL AS CLIMATE CHANGE.
SO, WHAT YOU CAN DO AT
HOME IS DEFINITELY PLANT MANY
WILDFLOWERS.
THAT WOULD BE REALLY AWESOME
BECAUSE WE'RE PROVIDING A FOOD
SOURCE FOR THE BEES.
OBVIOUSLY AS WE KNOW THEY'RE
REALLY, REALLY VITAL TO OUR
SURVIVAL AS HUMANS.
TAKE A NOTE FROM KYRA HERE AND
DO LOTS OF RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN.
Shakira says, THERE YOU GO.
Maddy adds, AND SPREAD THE WORD WITH YOUR
FRIENDS.
AND NOW, KYRA, I KNOW
YOUR BIRTHDAY IS
COMING UP THIS WEEK.
Kyra says, UH-HUH.
Maddy says, MAYBE MY FRIEND JON CAN HELP
YOU OUT BY MAKING SOME SPECIAL
CANDLES FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY CAKE.
Kyra says, WOO!
Maddy says, DO YOU WANT TO GO
MEET MY FRIEND JON?
Kyra says, YEAH!
Maddy says, AWESOME.
Out of their beekeeper suits, Kyra and the Green Squad members walk with Maddy.
Maddy says, HI, JON!
Kyra and the others say, HEY, JON!
They meet Jon, who has short brown hair, glasses, and a neatly trimmed beard. He works at a table with a small pot. Text reads, Jon, Urban Beekeeper.
Jon says, HI, HOW WAS THE HIVES?
Kyra says, GOOD!
One of the squad members says, IT WAS SO GOOD.
Jon says, PERFECT.
WELL, WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO TO
TODAY IS WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT
WHAT'S INSIDE THE HIVES.
SO WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THE WAX
AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE A COUPLE OF
BEESWAX CANDLES
FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY.
SO, WE'RE GONNA TAKE A STRING
AND WHAT YOUR GONNA DO IS YOUR
GONNA DIP IT DOWN AND WE'RE
GONNA DO THAT A COUPLE OF TIMES.
Kyra and the others take turns dipping the two ends of a string into the small pot.
Sigfried narrates, BEESWAX LAYERS BUILD UP
ON THE STRING TO MAKE CANDLES.
THAT'LL BE PERFECT
FOR KRYA'S BIRTHDAY.
I'VE GOT ANOTHER IDEA
THAT I THINK SHE'LL LOVE.
Jon says, HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
ENJOY THE WAX AND WE'RE
GONNA GO CHECK OUT ON OUR HIVES.
The group hang their candles.
Kyra says, THANKS.
Kyra and the squad members say, BYE!
Maddy says, BYE!
She leaves with Jon.
Lisa adds, THANKS!
Sigfried says, SO KYRA, NOW THAT WE'VE LEARNED
MORE ABOUT THE BEES, AND SORT OF
CONQUERED OUR FEARS DO YOU FEEL
LIKE THIS IS A CAUSE THAT YOU
REALLY LIKE TO SUPPORT?
Kyra says, YEAH.
Sigfried says, AT BIRTHDAY PARTIES YOU CAN AS
YOUR FRIENDS AND ALL OF YOUR
ATTENDEES TO ALSO
DONATE TO THAT CAUSE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
Kyra says, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
Sigfried says, ITS A REALLY GREAT WAY TO DO
SOME ACTIVISM ON A SMALL SCALE.
Shakira asks, ARE YOU EXCITED FOR
YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY?
Kyra says, YEAH.
Lisa says, ITS GONNA BE
REALLY BEE-AUTIFUL.
Lisa says, ITS GONNA BE
UN-BEE-LIEVABLE.
Sigfried says, ITS GONNA BE
BEE-YOND AMAZING.
Animated bees fly around Kyra and the Green Squad members.
Lisa says, BE PREPARED FOR THE
BEST BZZZ-IRTHDAY EVER!
[Lisa giggling]
[Bee buzzing]
[Funky music plays]
The Green Squad members dance. Text reads, Green Beat.
Sigfried narrates, MY HEAD IS STILL BUZZING FROM
ALL THOSE FASCINATING FACTS
ABOUT BEES.
A banner that reads, Happy Birthday, appears over a donation box.
Sigfried narrates, I LOVE THAT KYRA IS GONNA HAVE A
DONATION BOX AT HER B-DAY PART.
WHAT A GREAT WAY TO HELP.
HERE IS ANOTHER COOL WAY.
Videos show bees pollinating flowers.
Sigfried continues, REMEMBER THOSE WILD BEE SPECIES
KYRA AND MADDY WERE TALKING
ABOUT?
WILD BEES ARE EVEN MORE
EFFICIENT POLLINATORS THAN
HONEYBEES.
THEY NEST IN SHELTERED PLACES
LIKE DEADWOOD OR EVEN THE GROUND
BUT THEY'RE LOSING THEIR HOMES
BECAUSE HUMANS ARE CHANGING THE
ENVIRONMENT.
A person mows a lawn.
[Lawnmower engine running]
An animated bee frowns.
Sigfried narrates, WE CAN HELP THEM BY
BUILDING BEE HOTELS.
THESE CAN BE MADE WITH BLOCKS
OF WOOD OR LOGS THAT HAVE SMALL
HOLES WHERE THE BEES
CAN BUILD THEIR NESTS.
OUR BEE FRIENDS DESERVE
THE 5 STAR TREATMENT.
DON'T YOU THINK?
[Funky music plays]
Kyra pushes Lisa, Sigfried and Shakira on her family’s porch swing.
A person says, GREEN SQUAD.
Kyra walks alongside the three Green Squad members.
Shakira narrates, KYRA WANTS HER PARTY TO BE
ECO-FRIENDLY WITH A BEE THEME.
I'VE GOT SOME FUN
IDEAS BACK AT HOME.
At a table with Kyra and Lisa, Shakira’s bag is in her lap.
She says, SO, I TOOK A LITTLE
TRIP TO THE THRIFT STORE.
SO, I GOT THIS WRAPPING PAPER…
She hands Kyra a roll of yellow wrapping paper.
Kyra says, NICE AND YELLOW.
Shakira adds, PIPE CLEANERS.
YELLOW STRING.
I HAVE SOME STREAMERS.
Kyra says, I'M WRAPPING THIS AROUND.
She points to rolls of white and yellow streamers.
Kyra says, BY THE WAY WHAT ARE WE MAKING?
Shakira pulls out a flat cardboard box.
She says, WE'RE GONNA MAKE A PINATA OUT OF
A CEREAL BOX I GOT FROM YOUR
RECYCLING BIN ACTUALLY.
Kyra says, OH!
Shakira says, AND WE CAN TRANSFORM THIS
INTO A REALLY COOL BEE PINATA.
Kyra says, US WORKER BEES
FOR THE QUEEN BEE!
[Kyra and Lisa laughing]
Shakira says, NO, YOU'RE THE QUEEN
BEE!
Kyra says, OKAY.
Shakira says, WE MUST SERVE THE QUEEN!
Lisa says, OKAY, THIS IS FOR YOU.
Kyra says, THANK YOU.
Lisa hands Kyra a strand of a yellow streamer and grabs a piece of tape.
Shakira says, THE THINGS PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IS
THAT BIRTHDAY PARTIES CONTRIBUTE
A LOT OF WASTE TO THE
ENVIRONMENT.
BECAUSE OF ALL THE SINGLE USE
PLASTICS AND ONE-USE OBJECTS,
RIGHT?
Kyra says, YUP.
Shakira continues, EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE USING WAS
ALREADY IN THE RECYCLING BIN AT
ONE POINT OR SECOND HAND FROM
THRIFT STORES AND I PERSONALLY
THINK THIS LOOKS BETTER THAN
JUST A NORMAL DECORATION FROM
THE STORE.
Kyra makes a bee out of the cardboard cereal box.
Lisa says, RIGHT.
Shakira says, SO, WE HAVE SOME
LOVELY HONEY CANDIES.
Kyra says, IN YOU GO.
Lisa says, IN YOU GO.
She and Kyra drop candies into the pinata.
Shakira says, AND THAT'S ALL.
LOOK HOW AMAZING THIS LOOKS GUYS!
Kyra says, YAY!
Shakira says, TODAY, WE'RE GONNA MAKE A REALLY
REALLY FUN LOOT BAG FOR YOU.
A LITTLE THING YOU COULD
PUT IN YOUR LOOT BAGS.
THEY'RE CALLED SEED-BALLS.
SEED-BALLS ARE ESSENTIALLY SOIL,
SEEDS AND A LITTLE BIT OF CLAY
MIXED TOGETHER INTO A BALL THAT
YOUR GUESTS CAN TAKE HOME WITH
THEM AND ESSENTIALLY WILDFLOWERS
ARE GONNA GROW WHERE THEY THROW
IT.
THE PROBLEM WITH LOOT BAGS IS
THAT IT'S USUALLY FILLED WITH
LITTLE TOYS, CANDY WRAPPERS AND
LIKE, CHOCOLATES THAT PRODUCE A
LOT OF WASTE.
SINGLE USE PLASTIC YOU'RE
GETTING MAYBE USE ONCE OR PLAY
WITH ONCE AND THEN THROW AWAY.
Lisa says, SO THIS IS A GOOD WAY FOR US TO
GIVE BACK TO THE BEES BY GIVING
THEM WILDFLOWERS.
Shakira says, SO YEAH, NOT ONLY ARE YOU GIVING
YOUR GUESTS A FUN LITTLE TREAT
BUT YOU'RE ALSO GIVING THE BEES
A NICE LITTLE TREAT AS WELL.
Kyra says, LIKE A BEE-DAY!
Shakira says, YEAH, ITS A REAL BEE-DAY!
An animated bee buzzes around Kyra.
Shakira says, SO WE'RE GONNA START BY
DOING THREE SCOOPS OF SOIL.
Supplies for the seed balls are on the table, including a large bowl of soil. Kyra scoops a cup of soil from the bowl.
Shakira says, PERFECT.
Lisa says, THAT LOOKS GOOD.
Kyra counts, ONE.
Lisa says, INTO THE BOX.
Kyra dumps the soil into a cardboard box, then dips the cup back into the bowl.
She says, YEAH, I'M JUST
GONNA USE MY HANDS.
She fills the cup with soil using her hands.
Shakira says, YEAH, THERE YOU GO.
Kyra says, OKAY, TWO.
She pours the second cup of soil into the box, then a third.
She says, THREE.
THAT SHOULD DO IT.
Lisa cuts through a block of clay with a piece of string.
Kyra says, FLOSS!
Shakira says, YOU'RE DOING GOOD!
[Giggling]
Kyra sings, FLOSS, YOU GOTTA FLOSS!
Lisa wiggles the string through the clay. She helps Shakira and Kyra pull it apart.
Kyra says, THERE WE GO,
OK, IT’S FLEXING APART.
Shakira says, NOW, WE'RE GONNA BREAK IT A
LITTLE BIT SO THAT IT KIND OF
GOES A LITTLE BIT EASIER.
Lisa says, YEAH.
ARE YOU JUST GONNA DO...
Shakira breaks the half piece of clay into smaller pieces.
[Lisa laughing]
Kyra says, OKAY.
I'M GONNA HELP YOU.
She breaks another piece of clay into smaller pieces.
Lisa says, INTO LITTLE PIECES...
Kyra sings, IN TEENY TINY PIECES.
EENY MEENY PIECES.
Laughing, Lisa says, OKAY.
Shakira says, AND WE NEED A
LITTLE BIT OF WATER HERE.
She pours water over the pile of soil and clay.
Kyra says, THIS IS SO FUN!
YAY.
Shakira says, NOW LETS MIX WITH OUR
HANDS.
Kyra says, YAY, MIX IT.
She starts mixing the soil and clay.
She says, COME ON LISA!
Lisa reaches into the box.
Kyra says, GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY MORE!
[Laughing]
Shakira, Kyra and Lisa start forming small balls with the damp soil and clay.
Shakira says, THE CLAY HELPS KEEP THE SHAPE OF
THE ACTUAL BALL TOGETHER.
WE'RE GONNA ADD SOME SEEDS IN.
She pours seeds over her handful of clay.
Kyra says, OOH!
She pours seeds over her seed bomb.
She says, SEED BOMB.
THERE WE GO.
IT FEELS LIKE I'M
COOKING COOKIES WITH SEEDS.
[Laughing]
Shakira collects the seed bomb balls in a tray.
She says, I THINK ITS TIME FOR US TO HEAD
TO THE KITCHEN AND BAKE FOR
REAL.
Kyra and Lisa say, YEAH.
Other seed bombs are in an egg carton.
Lisa says, WE GOTTA WASH OUR HANDS FIRST.
Shakira, Kyra and Lisa wiggle their dirt and clay covered fingers.
Together they say, SEE YOU SOON.
[Funky music plays]
The Green Squad members dance. Text reads, Green Beat.
Shakira narrates, BALLOONS ARE A POPULAR PARTY
DECORATION BUT THEY'RE ALSO HARD
ON THE PLANET.
[Balloons popping]
Shakira frowns.
She narrates, DECORATIONS MADE OF PAPER AND
CARDBOARD ARE KINDER TO THE
EARTH AND FUN TO CREATE.
PINATAS ARE ALWAYS A "HIT".
A bat hits a pinata.
Lisa narrates, LOL!
GOOD ONE!
Shakira adds, BUT I BROUGHT THE
BIODEGRADABLE BALLOONS.
Shakira narrates, I DON'T WANT TO
BURST YOUR BUBBLE LISA.
[Balloon popping]
Lisa narrates, HA.
ANOTHER GOOD ONE!
Shakira narrates, BUT EVEN BIODEGRADABLE BALLOONS
CONTRIBUTE TO OUR GARBAGE
PROBLEM.
THEY'RE MADE OUT OF LATEX AND
TAKE BETWEEN 6 MONTHS AND 6
YEARS TO BREAK DOWN.
THEY CAN ALSO CAUSE MAJOR
PROBLEMS FOR ANIMALS AND MARINE
LIFE WHO THINK THEY
LOOK LIKE A TASTY SNACK.
Trash floats over coral in the ocean.
Shakira says, ANYWAY.
WHO NEEDS THEM?
DEFINITELY NOT KYRA.
Kyra works on another craft with Lisa.
Shakira narrates, 3 CHEERS FOR PAPER
PARTY DECORATIONS!
[Party horn]
Shakira and Lisa cheer, HIP-HIP HOORAY!
[Funky music plays]
Kyra, Shakira, Lisa and Sigfried water the plants in Kyra’s backyard.
A person says, GREEN SQUAD.
In the kitchen with Shakira and Kyra, Lisa wears an apron with her name on it.
She says, NOW THAT WE WASHED OUR HANDS,
NO BIRTHDAY PARTY IS COMPLETE
WITHOUT A CAKE...
[Party horn]
Kyra looks excited.
Lisa continues, AND WE'RE
GONNA USE THE BEES FAVOURITE
INGREDIENT,
WHICH IS?
Kyra says, HONEY.
Lisa says, HONEY, EXACTLY.
BUT NOT JUST ANY HONEY.
WE'RE GONNA BE USING RAW HONEY.
WHICH MEANS IT'S COMPLETELY
NATURAL, NOTHING'S HAPPENED TO
IT.
Shakira adds, AND ALSO, IT'S A BEE PARTY SO IT
CAN'T BE A BEE PARTY WITHOUT
HONEY.
RIGHT?
Lisa says, YEAH, OF COURSE.
Shakira says, I'M ACTUALLY GONNA POP OUT
BECAUSE I HAVE SOME MORE THINGS
TO DO.
THERE'S ALL THE DECORATIONS
THAT I HAVE TO FINISH UP.
She grabs a terracotta pot and some lavender flowers.
Lisa says, BYE.
Kyra says, SEE YA!
Shakira leaves. Lisa grabs a measuring cup.
She says, STARTING WITH FLOUR.
WE NEED 2 CUPS.
Text reads, 2 cups = 500ml. Kyra pours a cup of flour into a mixing bowl.
She says, GOODBYE!
[Lisa laughing]
Kyra adds another cup of flour to the bowl.
She says, GOODBYE.
Lisa says, SALT AND BAKING SODA.
Kyra adds the next ingredients to the mixing bowl. Text reads, ½ tsp each = 2.5ml.
Kyra says, YEAH!
GOODBYE!
Lisa says, SO, FOR THE HONEY WE
NEED TO MAKE 2 CUPS.
She fills a measuring cup with the thick, raw honey. Text reads, 2 cups = 500ml. Kyra scrapes the honey into the bowl.
Kyra says, AND THEN THE EGGS.
She cracks an egg into the bowl. Text reads, 3 eggs.
Lisa says, WE GOT THE BUTTER IN THE MIXER
AND NOW WE JUST NEED TO BEAT IT
UNTIL ITS A NICE SOFT TEXTURE.
Kyra says, OKAY.
Text reads, ½ cup = 125ml. Kyra turns on the mixer.
She says, THERE YOU GO.
Lisa says, YEAH, LOOKS GOOD.
Kyra holds a cake pan steady while Lisa puts the cake batter in.
Lisa says, SO, NOW IT'S TIME TO PUT IT
IN THE CAKE PAN AND THEN WITH
WHATEVER WE HAVE
LEFTOVER WELL PUT IN THE TINS.
Kyra scoops cake batter into a muffin tin.
She says, IN YOU GO.
GOOD.
Shakira asks, WHAT IS GOING IN IN
HERE?
She joins Lisa and Kyra.
Kyra says, WE'RE MAKING CAKES AND CUPCAKES.
Shakira says, OH MY.
IT LOOKS SO GOOD.
IT SMELLS REALLY GOOD TOO.
She carries pots holding different gift items.
She says, SO HERE'S THE LOOT BAGS THAT
I JUST FINISHED UP RIGHT NOW.
Shakira hands Lisa one of the pots.
She says, I'LL SHOW YOU GUYS.
Kyra says, OOH!
Shakira says, HERE WE HAVE THE SEED
BALLS THAT WE MADE.
I WRAPPED THEM UP IN THE
THRIFTED FABRIC AND THEN WE HAVE
THE HONEY THAT THE BEE FARM
GENEROUSLY GAVE TO US AND THEN
LASTLY, WE HAVE LAVENDER
FROM KYRA'S BACKYARD.
Kyra and Lisa smell the lavender.
Shakira says, SMELLS VERY GOOD.
Kyra says, MMM, SMELLS GOOD.
Shakira says, AND IT ADDS A
LITTLE NICE COLOUR.
Kyra says, IT'S NICE THAT YOU PUT IT
IN THE POT FOR THE LOOT POT.
Shakira says, YEAH BECAUSE THEN THEY COULD USE
THIS FOR SOMETHING ELSE, RIGHT?
Kyra says, YEAH.
Shakira asks, SO, WHATS NEXT?
Lisa says, NEXT WE'RE GONNA
MAKE THE FROSTING.
Kyra says, YES!
Shakira says, OKAY, I'LL DEFINITELY
BE BACK FOR THAT.
She takes the loot bag pot from Lisa.
Lisa says, SEE YOU IN A BIT.
Kyra says, SEE YOU LATER.
Shakira says, BYE!
She leaves.
Lisa says, WE'RE GONNA START BY
PUTTING THE BUTTER IN ACTUALLY.
Kyra adds butter to the mixing bowl. Text reads, ½ cup, 125ml. Lisa fills a measuring cup with raw honey. Text reads, ½ cup, 125ml.
Kyra says, IN YOU GO HONEY!
Lisa dumps the honey into the bowl.
Kyra asks, READY FOR THE VANILLA?
Lisa says, SURE, YOU CAN ADD IT RIGHT NOW.
Kyra says, IN YOU GO.
She pours vanilla into the mixing bowl. Text reads, 2 tsp = 10ml.
Lisa says, TO KEEP WITH THE BEE THEME WE
ARE GOING TO DYE THIS LOVELY
VANILLA BUTTER CREAM YELLOW.
Kyra squeezes drops of yellow food die into the bowl. Text reads, 5 drops.
Kyra counts, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
THAT SHOULD DO IT.
Lisa mixes the ingredients together.
Shakira says, LOOKS LIKE I'VE
ARRIVED AT THE RIGHT TIME.
She carries the bee pinata and another yellow box. Lisa spreads dark grey icing onto a layer of cake.
She says, OH,
HEY!
Shakira says, HI!
SO, IS YOUR
FROSTING AND CAKE READY?
Lisa says, WE ARE GETTING THE IN
BETWEEN LAYERS AND THEN, CHOMP!
Shakira says, I CAN'T WAIT TO HELP BUT
FIRST, LOOK WHAT I HAVE.
I KNOW WE DID IT BEFORE BUT I
DID SOME FINISHING TOUCHES.
The bee pinata has tiny cuts on the streamers that look like the fuzz on a bee.
Lisa says, IT LOOKS GREAT.
Shakira says, THANK YOU AND THEN OVER HERE I
ACTUALLY MADE THIS BOX THAT,
KYRA, FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY, YOU CAN
COLLECT DONATIONS FROM ALL YOUR
FRIENDS AND GUESTS.
A tissue donation box looks like a bee.
Kyra says, OH, THAT'S GONNA HELP ME
DONATE TO THE BEE CAUSE.
Shakira says, YEAH.
[Quick, upbeat music plays]
In a timelapse, Shakira, Lisa and Kyra decorate the bee cake.
Kyra says, IT WAS SO FUNNY THAT THE HONEY
THAT THE BEE MAKES, IT COMES
RIGHT INTO MY CAKE SO I WANT TO
SAY THANK YOU TO THE BEES FOR
GIVING ME HONEY FOR
MY BIRTHDAY CAKE.
[Funky music plays]
The Green Squad dances. Text reads, Green Beat.
Lisa narrates, I LOVE SWEETS AND THOSE
HONEY CUPCAKES WERE SO YUMMY!
Kyra decorates the honey cupcakes.
Lisa narrates, THE PLANET THINKS
THEY'RE PRETTY YUMMY TOO.
Kyra eats a cupcake.
Lisa narrates, NATURAL SWEETENERS, LIKE LOCAL
HONEY, MAPLE SYRUP OR SUGAR MADE
FROM PALM OR COCONUT TREES
REQUIRE LESS PROCESSING AND
POLLUTE LESS THAN REFINED SUGAR.
REFINED SUGAR NEEDS A LOT OF
LAND TO GROW SUGAR CANE AND THEN
REQUIRES LOTS OF PROCESSING.
MEANING POLLUTION IS
RELEASED IN OUR AIR AND WATER.
YUMMY HONEY AND A HEALTHY
PLANET GO HAND IN HAND.
I'LL GET IN ON THAT TOO.
[Bees buzzing]
[Upbeat music plays]
In Kyra’s backyard, Shakira, Sigfried, Lisa and Kyra make a human pyramid.
A person says, GREEN SQUAD.
In the kitchen, Lisa turns Kyra’s finished cake around.
She says, I THINK IT'S ALL DONE.
The cake reads, Happy Bee Day!
Kyra calls out, MAMMA, DADDA, NANNI, NANNU!
Subtitles read, Mom! Dad! Grandma, Grandpa! Come here!
Kyra’s family gathers in the kitchen.
They say, WOAH!
Kyra’s mom says, THIS IS...
Her dad says, THIS LOOKS AMAZING.
Her mom says, THIS IS AMAZING.
Kyra speaks in a foreign language.
Her dad asks, WILL THIS CAKE FLY?
[Laughing]
Lisa says, IT MIGHT, WE MAY HAVE
TO LIKE, SECURE IT DOWN.
[Kyra’s dad making buzzing sounds]
[Laughing]
Kyra’s mom says, GREAT JOB!
Lisa says, THESE ARE SOME LOVELY
CUPCAKES THAT KYRA DECORATED.
SO, WE'RE GONNA TASTE THEM TO
GET AN IMPRESSION OF WHAT THE
CAKE TASTES LIKE.
Everyone raises a cupcake and says, TO THE HONEYBEES!
Kyra says, MY FAVOURITE NEW INSECT!
[Laughing]
Shakira says, YES!
Kyra’s dad starts to bite into his cupcake.
Kyra’s mom says, BIG ONE!
BIG ONE!
Lisa says, WHOLE CUPCAKE, WHOLE CUPCAKE,
WHOLE CUPCAKE!
Kyra’s dad takes a bite of his cupcake.
He says, OH YUM.
[Kyra’s mom giggling]
Lisa says, WE JUST WANT TO WISH YOU
THE HAPPIEST OF "BEE"DAYS!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
SHARING YOUR BIRTHDAY WITH US.
WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE A GREAT TIME TOMORROW
I'M SURE.
Kyra says, I'M REALLY GONNA MISS YOU GUYS.
Lisa and Shakira say, AW, WE'RE GONNA
MISS YOU TOO!
They hug Kyra.
Shakira says, WE CANT WAIT TO SEE
HOW YOUR BIG DAY GOES.
Lisa says, FOR SURE.
WE'LL BE CHECKING IN TO SEE
WHAT THE BUZZ IS ABOUT FOR YOUR
BIRTHDAY.
[Laughing]
Kyra says, YEAH!
[Cheerful music plays]
Text reads, Squad Tip. The Green Squad makes a human pyramid. Shakira stands behind a table with a decorative gift box.
She says, YOU CAN START REUSING
AND RECYCLING AT ANY AGE.
WHEN I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD I
WANTED TO GET MY MOM A SPECIAL
GIFT SO, TO WRAP IT, I DID
SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT GREEN.
I USED A BOX THAT WOULD HAVE
GOT THROWN IN THE GARBAGE, THEN I
USED TISSUE PAPER.
BY CUTTING UP OLD TISSUE PAPER
FROM MY OLD GIFTS THAT I HAD
RECEIVED.
I USED A RIBBON THAT I HAD AND I
ALSO USED SOME FAKE FLOWERS AND
BUTTERFLIES THAT
I HAD IN MY ROOM.
Lisa points to different parts of the gift box.
She says, IN THE END IT TURNED OUT GREAT
AND MY MOM STILL USES IT TODAY.
GIFT WRAPPING CREATES
MOUNTAINS OF PAPER WASTE.
IT'S NOT SO PLANET FRIENDLY
AND IT RESULTS IN A LOT OF TREES
GETTING CUT DOWN TO MAKE THE
PAPER BUT DON'T WORRY THERE ARE
LOTS OF ALTERNATIVES.
FOR STARTERS, NEWSPAPERS.
IF YOUR FAMILY STILL HAS SOME
LYING AROUND USE THEM TO WRAP
YOUR GIFTS.
Shakira holds up a box wrapped in newspaper.
She says, YOU CAN ALSO USE CLOTHING
ITEMS LIKE BANDANAS OR SCARVES.
Shakira lays a square scarf out on the table.
She says, I GRAB MY GIFT THEN YOU FLIP,
FLIP, FLIP, FLIP, THEN YOU FOLD
THIS LAST FLAP IN, GRAB THE
TWO SIDES, MAKE A LITTLE BOW AND
THERE YOU HAVE IT.
She wraps a box in the scarf.
She says, A GIFT WRAPPED IN A SCARF.
PRETTY COOL, HUH?
[Upbeat music plays]
The Green Squad pose together. Text reads, Check-In. The Squad sits together in front of a tablet.
Lisa says, LET'S SEE HOW KYRA'S
BIRTHDAY TURNED OUT.
She plays a video of Kyra on the tablet.
Kyra says, I FEEL VERY EXCITED ON MY
BIRTHDAY BECAUSE I USUALLY FEEL
EXCITED, BUT I'M VERY EXCITED
THIS TIME BECAUSE I'M LOOKING
FORWARD TO PLAYING WITH MY
FRIENDS AND I WANT TO SEE HOW
MUCH DONATIONS WE
GET FOR THE BEE FARMS.
Lisa comments, THE DECORATIONS LOOK GREAT.
At Kyra’s house, her mom answers the door.
People cheer, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYRA!
Kyra runs to the door and says, THANKS!
She plays with her friends.
Kyra narrates, THE PARTY WENT AMAZING.
I HAD A TON OF FUN.
THE PINATA WAS AWESOME.
THAT WAS THE FIRST THING WE DID.
Outside, Kyra swings a bat at the bee pinata hanging from the porch swing.
Lisa says, AW.
One of Kyra’s friends hits the pinata. Kyra its it and the candies fall out.
Shakira says, SHE GOT IT, THAT'S GREAT!
Kyra narrates, SO, I WAS THE ONE WHO
CRACKED THE PINATA.
She and her friends collect the fallen candy.
She later says, THANKS SHAKIRA.
THE PINATA WAS
PERFECT.
Sigfried says, AW, THAT WAS FANTASTIC!
Shakira says, IT SEEMS SO FUN!
Sigfried says, IT WAS SO ON THEME.
LIKE IT WAS REALLY...
Shakira says, YEAH.
Lisa says, YEAH, I WAS GONNA SAY THE BEE
THEME REALLY CAME THROUGH.
IT LOOKS AMAZING.
In the video, Kyra says, THANK YOU SIGFRIED, FOR
REMOVING MY FEAR OF BEES.
Sigfried smiles and nods.
Kyra adds, I WAS ACTUALLY SCARED
BEFORE BUT NOW I'M NOT.
I'M LIKE CALM WITH BEES.
COMING AROUND.
FLYING AROUND MY HEAD.
I JUST LOOK UP.
Eric says, I LOVE HER ATTITUDE.
Sigfried says, WHEN WE WENT TO THE BEEHIVE, SHE
WAS SUPER POSITIVE EVEN THOUGH
SHE WAS A LITTLE BIT SCARED.
IT WAS REALLY COOL.
In the video, Kyra asks her friends, HOW MANY BEE SPECIES
ARE THERE IN THE WORLD?
Sigfried says, SHE'S QUIZZING THEM!
One of Kyra’s friends asks, TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY?
Eric says, SHE'S CREATING A BEEHIVE OF
KNOWLEDGE.
[Laughing]
Lisa says, YEAH.
KYRA THE QUEEN BEE!
Eric says, KYRA THE QUEEN BEE!
THERE YOU GO!
In the video, the party goers gather around a table.
Kyra’s dad starts singing, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU…
The Green Squad joins in, singing, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
In the video, Kyra says, THANK YOU LISA FOR
HELPING ME BAKE THE CAKE.
IT WAS AWESOME.
For a picture, the party goers say, BEE!
Kyra takes a bite of her cake.
She narrates, BECAUSE IT WAS MY FIRST TIME
MAKING ICING AND HONEY CAKE SO I
LOVED IT AND ALL
MY FRIENDS DID TOO.
THANKS LISA!
MY FRIENDS ALSO LOVED THE
LOOT BAGS AND THEY WERE AMAZING.
Kyra explains to her friends, SO YOU JUST WANT TO THROW THESE
IN YOUR BACKYARDS OR PLANT THEM
IN THESE POTS.
OKAY?
One of her friends says, YEAH.
Kyra continues, AND THEN AFTER A TIME THEY'LL
GROW INTO WILDFLOWERS.
Lisa says, I LOVE HOW SHE'S JUST SHARING
THE KNOWLEDGE OF EVERYTHING SHE
LEARNED.
Kyra says, THEN WE GOT THE TERRACOTTA POT.
She hands one to a friend.
She says, AND THANK YOU MYRA FOR COMING.
Eric says, OFTEN YOU JUST GET STUFF IN LOOT
BAGS…
He and Sigfried both say, …AND THEN YOU JUST THROW IT
AWAY.
Eric continues, YOU DON'T USE IT BUT
EVERYTHING THERE IS USABLE.
THE CANDLES, THE SEED
BOMBS AND EVERYTHING.
Lisa says, YEAH, EVEN THE BAG ITSELF,
THE TERRACOTTA POT.
Eric says, THE TERRACOTTA POT, WHAT A
CREATIVE WAY.
Lisa says, YEAH.
In the video, Kyra says, SO WE WANT TO KEEP THE BEES
HEALTHY AND PLANT MORE
WILDFLOWERS.
SO, LET'S GO.
She and her friends add donations to the donation box. They wave with her family members.
They cheer, WOO!
Shakira says, I'M JUST SO PROUD OF KYRA.
SHE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT
CONSERVATION AND RAISING
AWARENESS AND SHE'S APPLYING
THAT TO HER FRIEND GROUP WHICH
IS SO COOL.
Kyle and Sigfried nod.
Lisa says, YEAH.
SHE REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE
WITH THIS GREAT BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Shakira says, KYRA, WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU.
The entire Green Squad says, GO KYRA!
[Upbeat music plays]
A person says, WHEE!
