'The Honey Thieves' painting by Nancy Farmer
The Honey Thieves

Fairies, it seems, have a sweet tooth, and are not above a degree of thievery and pilfering to satisfy it. But this lot had better be careful - given the scale of fairy-to-honeycomb, I reckon the bees will be equivalent in size to a large angry rat, only flying... which rather explains the look of nervousness on the left-hand fairy's face, who is acting as look-out.
