Synopsis

Teddy is excited about his birthday from the early morning. He’s been waiting the whole year for it! But Daddy has some other activities in store for today. He takes his son to the apiary to teach him how the bears get their honey. Teddy feels upset that Daddy seems to have forgotten about his birthday. Daddy’s methods are rather unorthodox and he gets stung by the bees. At the end of the day, when the sun sets, he gives Teddy a jar of honey and ensures him that he hasn’t forgotten about his birthday. Teddy is overjoyed and spontaneously hugs his dad, who really seems to be in pain because of his injuries.
