Ziggy and his new family are on another adventure. They travel to Japan for a special mission to try and find out what is causing the bees of Tokyo to disappear. While investigating, Ziggy comes across new friends, a colony of honey bees with a very different way of protecting their hive; and a new terrifying enemy the huge hornet, Torgo.
