She put it on some flowers in a park. Lacey 發現的這隻蜜蜂一邊的翅膀斷裂，她小心地把蜜蜂撿起來放在花上面。 But the bee crawled back on Lacey and wouldn't leave her. So Lacey decided to take the bee home and keep it as a pet. She gave the insect a name, too: Betty. 結果蜜蜂爬回她身上，於是Lacey 決定把蜜蜂帶回家，把牠取名為Betty. Betty the bee is really like a pet. She goes with Lacy to many places. Betty likes to climb in Lacey's hair.
