An adventure story of two young brothers, Jimmy and Max, who are on their way to visit their grandfather.  On the way, they encounter a tiny native bee and hope it will lead them to some delicious sugarbag.

‘Sugarbag is a favourite treat for Aboriginal people. We call it ngarruu. When Grandfather was a little boy, he went hunting for ngarruu with his father,’ Jimmy explained proudly.

The boys go racing through the bush in pursuit of the bee hoping it will lead them to its hiv .
