What happens

The Adventures of Hutch the Honeybee (昆虫物語 みなしごハッチ, Konchū Monogatari: Minashigo Hatchi; lit. A Bug's Tale: Hutch the Orphan) is an anime television series produced by Yomiko Advertising and Tatsunoko Production that serves as a remake of the studio's 1970 television series of the same name. The series originally aired on NTV from July 21, 1989, to August 31, 1990. The show follows the original series' main storyline, and tells the adventure of a young bee who searches for his missing queen bee mother. Like the 1970 show, this remake is notable for its sad and cruel scripts, often featuring the deaths of the protagonist's friends. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
