The book offers moral lessons through the adventures and experiences of two children, Joyce and Don, who spend a summer with their grandparents on a farm. Throughout the tales, the characters encounter various challenges and learn important values such as kindness, honesty, obedience, and gratitude through whimsical stories often
centered around the metaphorical concept of "busy bees." The opening of the book introduces Joyce and Don, who are excited about their summer stay at their grandparents' farm.
