When Mielours arrives at the village and settles in the house inhabited by Hulotte before, the inhabitants are consternated. Who is this intruder, this lazy one settling in the neighbor's house and spending his time napping? And neglecting the garden and the house? Mélopée, Atchoum, Friton and his three little ones look unfavorably on this weird stranger. But when there's a bee swarm invading the village, they'll need help and who else to ask for help to get rid of these dangerous insects? Mielours takes things into his paws and goes to the bookshop with Mélopée to get a beekeeper's guide. It's decided, he's going to tame them and get a hobby!
