OUR REVIEW:
A worldbuilding episode that surrounds the bee people of Eternia (including the believed to be extinct Tycons), this story is strangely entertaining as it is awkward... especially when Orko's inability to read a recipe is what turns the tide. (5/10)

Tomorrow’s Episode is: “The Secret of Grayskull”
I like this episode, but definitely feel like it could have been better. I love that we get three season 2 characters in Buzz-Off, Webstor, and Kobra Khan, but none of them really get to do much. Particularly frustrating is Buzz-Off as this feels like an episode that should be centered around him, but he’s mostly just a background character, most notably blocking Skeletor’s first blast at the heroes.
While I also agree that the baking plot with Orko was a little out there, episodes like this is my favorite way to use Orko – comic relief, non-annoying, and doesn’t dominate the episode.
@battlecat327 I though Battle Cat was going to apologize to He-Man after he woke up from saving him but nope. Lol
@vintagetyler ha! I thought the same thing. I wonder if he was embarrassed after that because even though he’s mentioned, we really don’t see him again after they leave the room He-Man wakes up in, haha.
I liked it but I agree it was awkward. At first it was like those green bugs were eating machines that couldn’t stop.
I actually think this episode is awesome. 8/10. I really love seeing new things in Eternia like the Tycons and the Bee people society. It’s fun to watch Kobra Khan do his best Sssqueeze impression. I wonder if that’s where they got the idea for the figure? I’d like to know how the honey woke up the Tycons exactly. Was it the smell?
A bit late to this. On a vacation that involved a long overseas flight but as for this episode. Pretty good. Like the Bee Kingdom.
BTW since it’s related to bees I’m sorry but I have the need to copy and paste this like it’s 2016 meme culture:
“According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible."
Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let’s shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Coming! Hang on a second. Hello? – Barry? – Adam? – Can you believe this is happening? – I can’t. I’ll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I’m excited. Here’s the graduate. We’re very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B’s. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. – You got lint on your fuzz. – Ow! That’s me! – Wave to us! We’ll be in row 118,000. – Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! – Hey, Adam. – Hey, Barry. – Is that fuzz gel? – A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I’d make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I’m glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive. You did come back different. – Hi, Barry. – Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. – Hear about Frankie? – Yeah. – You going to the funeral? – No, I’m not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don’t waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day. That’s why we don’t need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp… under the circumstances. – Well, Adam, today we are men. – We are! – Bee-men. – Amen! Hallelujah!
3 stars. Good world building and i love the cast, but the villans are a bit too goofy, especially skeletor.
