Where are the Honey Bees?

Rosetta tells her Animal Fairy friends some urgent news.

 Rosetta flew as fast as she could to Pellimore's hollow. She had been everywhere in Pixie Hollow looking for her, except her house. She knocked on the door.

 "Who is it?" came Pellimore's calm voice.

 "Pelli, it's Ro," Rosetta responded hastily, "I need to tell you something."

 "Okay, come in."

 Rosetta opened the door and closed it behind her. She waited a few seconds to catch her breath.

 "I have been all over looking for you," she said.

 "What is it now?" asked Pellimore with much less stress. She was sitting at a desk in her house, writing something.

 "What's that?" Rosetta wanted to know.

 "Oh, it's just a little information packet I'm writing about Little Grey Rabbits. I've learned so much about them from Mariel. I assume, though, that's not what you came to tell me."

 "No, it's the Honey Bees! I can't find them anywhere!"

 "Oh, Rosetta, calm down. They have to be somewhere."

 "No, I've looked for and called them. They're not here." 

 "Have you talked to Fawn yet?"

 "No. I thought since you speak almost every animal language, I should talk to you first."

 "Haven't seen them. I'll go with you to Fawn's and to look for them."

 When the two arrived at Fawn's house, she was there outside it.

 "Hey, Fawn," Rosetta said, "have you seen the Honey Bees?"

 "No, haven't. It's strange, they seemed to have disappeared."

 The three went to their other friends and asked them. All replies were negative. They all volunteered to help look.

 "I'll go get Terrence," Ember told them when they told her. 

 "I'll go with you," Pellimore said.

 When they got there, Terrence looked at them as if he expected something.

 "What now?" he asked.

 "Have you seen the Honey Bees?" asked Ember in response.

 "Is this a..."

 "Joke? No, it's not," Pellimore said flatly.

 "What? Did they 'POOF' or something?"

 "We don't know," Ember replied.

 "Is there more of you?"

 "Yes. There's Pelli, myself, Silvermist, Fawn, Rosetta, Iridessa, and Tink."

 "Are you guys going to go and look for them?" 

 "That's the plan. I mean, Spring's only a week away," Pellimore said.

 So all of them went off to look. They soon found Mariel.

 "Hey, girl," Pellimore asked, "have you seen the Honey Bees?"

 Mariel did a series of squeaks.

 "What did she say?" asked Sil cluelessly.

 "They looked like they were flying away from something toward... the border of Pixie Hollow!"

 Everyone gasped.
