Based on the well-known books written by Waldemar Bonsels, Maya is a story of a little bee that 'goes her own way'. Her fellow bees are content with the regimented life of the hive and happily do whatever their teacher Miss Cassandra asks of them. But not Maya! Her adventures sometimes lead her into trouble, but luckily she has Flip, a grasshopper and Willy, her best friend, to help her out.
