We, students IV B- Primary School Borgo Pineta-Avezzano, present our brief history:

Clean air in the company of bees and mice …

enjoy the reading !!!

Our collaboration was necessary to help the beekeeper, who looked like a girl, even a mouse female, very interesting. He was wearing a suit, looked like a delicious banana, pistachio-green eyes stood out from the protective net, at a certain point he removed his mask and his long hair came out like Rapunzel’s, he introduced himself: “My name is Little Flower, I am very slim because I always have to run like a gazelle.

I would have also added very beautiful, it looked like a topmodel.

– I do an important, exciting, interesting activity. I also introduced myself, trying to show my best sides: -My name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton, I am the chief rodent eeehh I say, the editor of the newspaper The echo of the rodent and they are my grandchildren, Ben and Trappy who exclaimed in chorus: -Little Flower why do you have this treble? You are as pale as a mozzarella.

-I still can’t understand why my bees behave in such a confusing way, they form figures in flight, it seems that they are sending messages- Little Flower answered agitated.

My grandson Ben, curious and intelligent, realized that the bees were writing a message: Warning Pollution Danger, Help Protect Insects “.

He was right, they were requests for help. The bees began to fly faster, the buzzing became more intense. In the sky the shape of a raised thumb appeared and the acrostic Now You Can Intervene. Little Flower with her authoritative voice squeaked: “Now the first thing is to think about what to do because the situation is really precarious.

Trappy immediately volunteered, even Ben came forward, I, despite my frightened feline, I certainly could not make any move. Little Flower, owner of many beehives, climbed on my tandem and squeaked: “Shoulder to shoulder, cheeses in hand all together we pedal.

Arrived at the biotope of bees, that is in the area where they live, we were amazed, we could not believe in our eyes to see the perfection of the city of gold, now sub-populated, a set of cells, yellow cheese, perfect, other than the holes of gruyere! Little Flower bent: – They are the bees that, with the wax, build the cells in the shape of a hexagon, which unlike the other plane figures fits on six sides and to save space and waxes. The cells have different functions:

some serve to contain the eggs that lays the queen bee,

others serve to preserve the provisions,

others to put the nectar inside.

Trappy asked, “But how are these little insects organized like cheese crumbs?”

Little Flower continued:

–Each bee has a role,

there is the mother,

the queen bee, which is recognized because it is the largest and does up to twenty eggs per second,

there are the drones, the males that do not even plug the holes,

the nurses who raise the larvae,

the ceraioles that build the combs,

the warehousemen who deposit the pollen,

the sweepers they clean,

the guardians who protect the hive from the enemies

and the foragers who go looking for flowers, as soon as they find them , communicate the position to the other bees, and suck the nectar they carry the pollen.

So if plants are born thanks to bees and bees live thanks to flowers, the life of all living beings depends on the bees! Ben thought aloud

– For a thousand cheeses! We have to do something to save these so small, but so great beings, I immediately took the phone to call my sister Tea, who is always very well informed, but unfortunately she didn’t answer.

-Look, look, look! Screamed Trappy, the bees near cell phones move in a strange way, but why have they lost orientation? To find out, my friend Genius Squitt could help us because he is a scientist really in his paw.

 -Where is your laboratory located? Squacked Little Flower - Do not worry we know well the topography, that is the graphic representation of the island of Topaz.

Since we knew the specific names of all the places on the island, namely the toponymy, we took a secondary road, we immediately found the local secrets of Genius that were under a sewer, to enter you had to press an X and say the code: "one, two, three pistachios all to me ".

-But what happened to you? Has a cat appeared suddenly? Genius squeaked curiously.

We were in a hurry to explain the problem to the scientist and all together we squeaked Bees, pollution, phone, help, cell phone, dance.

 - What are you saying? This sentence is too confusing, explain to you a mouse better- Genius said, Little Flower, a little mouse calmed down and explained the situation: -We saw bees bewildered while we were using mobile phones.

- (What squeaks of bees?) Even I, not even doing it intentionally, am dealing with these wonderful insects, in fact I have just finished a course in entomology, that is the study of bees. Think through the bees the level of air pollution is measured, in fact, from the comparison on the mouseweb with my fellow scientists Daria, Ilaria and Mariano, the waves produced by the mobile phone and wi-fi emerged, propagating in the air , bees confused, but we realized that they were not the only cause.

- My cousin Nosy Squitt, who is a private investigator, has investigated other factors that pollute the air, ah here he is coming! What news do you bring us?

- For a thousand bananas! - the investigator exclaimed - Come with me.

Quick as a rat we reached the industrial area of ​​Topaz, famous for its cheese factories. Suddenly we saw a swarm of a few bees that could not go to the botanical garden and the happy hills because there was so much smoke rising in the sky that you could not see a leg from the muzzle. "I needed my sister's help Tea which, having a paratrooper license, could help us to observe from above to monitor um, monitor the area, I understood very well that it is necessary to use the mobile phone less, so I contacted her with our walky-talky, she immediately answered me and there has reached with the bike. As soon as we arrived, however, we realized that there was something strange in the air, Tea's voice was different, it almost seemed that she had taken the helium of a balloon and the tone was less delightful than usual, however we explained the situation that was more dramatic than we thought.

Tea convinced us and to get on her balloon, we immediately felt a feline shiver, because she drove like a beginner, it smelled like gorgonzola cheese, because my sister was very, very expert, Ben squeaked in my ear: Cat cats us!

However we continued to fly over the whole island of mice the sky was mouse gray because of the factories, of Madame No, which were the only ones not having the filters to reduce the emission of polluting gases, but Tea insisted that it was so because there was haze. Perhaps we were becoming daltycians color blind ums, we began to confuse the colors, to us it seemed that even the cars emitted too many polluting gases that could annoy the bees, instead Tea claimed that the bees, with their buzz, annoyed the drivers of the cars. Genius shouted: "Look at a dump of aluminum cans!" It's dangerous! Contaminate bee pupae! A highly polluting metal for air!

-No! - squeaked Tea, - It is very useful, we must produce in large quantities!

It was late and I said trembling for that stressful trip: "It's getting dark and with this smog we risk not finding the way, we land near the airport!"

We passed near a wake left by a plane and a bee passing nearby remained stunned and fell on the head of Tea, who, frightened, more than me, screamed: -Nooo !!!

Shaking her wig and mask fell, -Madame No !!! - we shouted in chorus, that's why she always said No.

But where is Tea ????? I asked her worried.

-I kidnapped her because I have an agreement with Sally Rasmaussen, the director of the "newspaper of the mouse ", so as not to let you do the scoop on my factories that pollute the air that damages the bees, now my plan has gone into a thousand crusts.

- Where is Aunt Tea squeaked crying Trappy.

-She is on the Stracchina fortress- answered Madame No.

We immediately called the mousepolice to free my sister. And arrest our eternal rival.

We pedaled on very high wheels to get to the editing of my newspaper, we immediately prepared an extraordinary edition to spread the solutions to reduce air pollution, save bees and everyone's life.

On the front page, the topten of the councils stood out:

1-Walk on foot or by bike, tell family and friends too.

2-Use your mobile only if necessary, you will see that the scenario changes.

3-Recycle jars and cans so there will be less toxins.

4-Don't always keep the wi-fi turned on, so much trouble will decrease.

5-Eat and consume natural products, they are better than industrial ones.

6-Leave the car, the motorbike or moped take public transport as a good citizen.

7-Treat plants and flowers to make gardens and vegetable gardens better.

8-Discard the waste in the container, be careful with the different color.

9-Adjust heating and temperature, always look for the right size.

The scoop spread across the whole of the mice and on the mouseweb had a world-wide prominence, after a few weeks some changes were seen in Topaz, the balconies were full of flowers, the mice munched on natural snacks, they saw less cars and more bicycles, many strolled in the streets, could see some electric cars, the forest of the four cheeses was thicker and more colorful, there were no longer any mice with their snouts attached to their mobile phones. The bees were so many now and they wrote Now we breathe together cheerfully because you have reduced pollution carefully. Clean air to bees saves the life of Stilton’s word; Geronimo Stilton.

Now we breathe together happily because you have carefully reduced pollution
