Meanwhile, Otto and the rest of the Alpha stream have been sent to begin their most feared exercise: The Hunt, in...

When missing agent Otto is suspected of leading the mysterious attacks on the leaders of the world's villainous forces, Raven and Wing race against time to find him before other G.L.O.V.E. assassins can locate him.

My name is Amanda. Amanda May Jett. My daddy and I live in Spotsylvania County, VA, where we enjoy the fresh air and a healthy farmer's lifestyle. At least until an alien hive crashes to earth and kills our neighbors. It's up to us to stop the invaders and save the world, no matter how many tentacles, body-snatchers, and brain-cracking fungi they send our way.

But spring comes with its own set of horrors, including crypto-monsters, melonhead kids, mad scientists, and at long last, the return of the Hive. I'm going to need a lot of allies if I'm going to make it through alive.

At the 'base camp' live experiments in the observation hive will reveal the latest scientific discoveries about how bees interact and coordinate as a 'superorganism'. We will also go out and about in the countryside to discover how difficult it is to make honey -Opening a jar from a supermarket, our presenters will tell us that to collect enough nectar to produce just 1 kg of honey, the bees in our hive will need to fly 90,000 miles, the equivalent...
