After I have done with the testing of characters' screen time in this episode, I decided to write an article for this episode. This is the episode where Maya and Willy met a young ant who ran away from the ant soldiers and is the twenty-second episode of the European version. Before I'm going to rank the characters by their amount of screen time, I will explain something about the Saban English dub is that just like any episode featuring the ant soldiers who met Maya and her friends, they made them to be the same characters rather than separate characters like they were in both original Japanese and European versions and that all youngest ants were named as "Digger", but I'm only calling the one from the twenty-second episode by that name as the one from this episode was named as "number 6", so yes, the ants were named with numbers to distinguish which ant is which, but the Saban English dub have changed the number names with actual names for each ant as it had been presented in the scene where Maya stopped for a moment out of her curiosity to talk to the ants from other tribes, but she didn't notice that she had moved on to another tribe sitting down and saying her name next to them before the ant general noticed her going to the wrong tribe and took her by the hand and told her to be careful where she was going and she apologized to him and learned her mistake in the end. Here are the ranking results that I have gotten for each character who have appeared in the episode:

8. Hieronimus (10 seconds)
Yes, Hieronimus the centipede have appeared in the episode and got the least screen time out of all characters who appeared in the episode because he was only there to sleep in the hole that was his home and was woken up by one of the ants who was looking for number 6 that bothered him, but then he fell back asleep in the end though.

7. Flip (29 seconds)
Unfortunately, poor Flip didn't got that much screen time in that episode either, but he only appeared in one scene where he was sitting on a leaf at night and said he was thinking about Maya and where she was, but he also said that maybe he should look for her but he couldn't because he said that he has cramps from the last jumps he did before he rested and that's why he was ranked so low, but thankfully, he is not in the last place like in the previous episode though.

6. The Enemy Ant General and Ant Soldiers (56 seconds)
Yes, all enemy ants shared the same amount of screen time by making it to 56 seconds and they were only there to guard an apple that number 6 wanted to eat it, but he couldn't and he hid himself in fear in a hole so that they would not see him, but after the ant general allowed Maya to fly and Willy saw her and stopped her, the general from the enemy tribe was surprised when he saw the little bees and ordered the other ants to leave immediately because he thought they were weak against the bees, and so the enemy ants left at last.

5. Number 6/Youngest Ant (6 minutes, 10 seconds)
Now this is something that might surprise you a bit, but yes, despite number 6 have gotten a lot of screen time in this episode, he ended up getting into the fifth place and got beaten by the other ants from his tribe. Number 6 was first seen when the little bees were playing a game with the little rolypolies which he was amused to see it and said he thought it was very funny and asked the little bees if he could play with them, but the little bees were surprised when they saw him and informed him that the general and the other ants were looking for him and were worried about him, but he was not happy and was trying to run as far as he could so that they would not find him. Then Maya asked him why he ran away from his ant tribe and he explained to the little bees with complaints that all ants must obey strict rules and work day and night which he considers this a boring thing to do as a worker ant and asked them if they understood and Maya said she understood immediately and he was happy about it. Later, he changed his mind when he saw the enemy ants guarding the apple and told Willy that he should go back to his tribe and when the enemy ants left, he returned to his tribe and he started working with the ants in his tribe as they left at the end.

4. The Ant Soldiers (6 minutes, 23 seconds)
Yes, the other five ant soldiers have gotten a lot of screen time and ended up getting into the fourth place, so yes, they were ranked a bit higher in this episode, but they failed to enter the top 3 though.

3. The Ant General (6 minutes, 59 seconds)
And of course, the general was the ant who managed to enter the top 3 by getting into the third place and earning his bronze medal just like the ant general from the twenty-second episode and yes, all good ants made it to 6 minutes of screen time, but the general managed to top all of them at the end though.

2. Willy (7 minutes, 13 seconds)
Now this is something that will make all Willy fans happy is that he have managed to get into the second place and earning his fifth silver medal by the amount of screen time he got overall, so yes, he managed to beat out all ants by making it to 7 minutes of screen time which I'm very glad that he managed to stay on the top 3 and earning more medals.

1. Maya (10 minutes, 15 seconds)
After losing to her best friends in the previous two episodes, she have gotten the most screen time out of all characters in this episode and managed to get into the first place and earned her seventeenth gold medal by the amount of screen time she got overall. The role she had in this episode was that she decided to join the ant tribe and she told the general that she would replace number 6 since he didn't want to go back to his tribe and she worked very hard as an "ant" until the enemy ants saw her with Willy and immediately left and number 6 returned to his tribe so Maya continued her bee life in the end.

And that's all of the results that I got from this episode and I'm planning to test the screen time of characters in the twenty-sixth episode which is the one where Maya and Willy met a female cricket who asked them for help in freeing her husband from the humans and is the twenty-third episode of the European version which I will explain more about that episode in the article that I will make soon.

After I have done with the testing of characters' screen time in this episode, I decided to write an article for this episode. This is one of the episodes that I think that many fans of the old anime series will remember which is the episode where Maya met the ant soldiers and is the fourth episode of the European version. Before I'm going to write my description and rank the characters by their amount of screen time, I will explain something about the Saban English dub is that just like the European version, this episode is one of the earliest episodes and according to many sites, this episode...

It's been a long time since I wrote an article on FanPop, but anyways I was very pleased on how the community has grown.

Now let's get to the important part, the reason I'm writing this is I want to ask your opinions on how Maya the Bee is similar to other cartoons and what do you think about it. Because recently, an user on Instagram send me a message regarding the CGI series. She said that the CGI series was closely similar to the 1992 French-Belgian TV show "Cococinel", which I actually never heard of. The user was a fan of the show and she was wanted an explanation on why "Maya the Bee"...

After I have done with the testing of characters' screen time in this episode, I decided to write an article for this episode. This is the episode where Maya, Willy and Flip met an elderly female grasshopper (actually a locust since she is brown comparing to Flip who is green) and is the the thirteenth episode of the European version. The episode starts when Maya woke up in the morning and was buzzing around the flowers and she went to see what her friend Willy was doing, and saw him still sleeping on a blade of grass. She burst out laughing and shook the blade of grass to wake him up, but...
