There's a buzz in the air—and it's deadly…
After getting kidnapped by giant alien bees, twelve-year-old Jason Anderson is transported to a spaceship called SpaceHive. There, he learns of a horrifying plot to annihilate Earth's human population so that extraterrestrial bees and wasps can migrate to a new world.
As a swarm of spaceships make a beeline toward Earth, Jason must convince three friendly worker bees to help him escape his space prison and find other humans to aid in his mission to stop the invasion. But General Vard, wasp commander of the Black Watch, has other plans.
Can Jason unite the nations of Earth in their common fight to destroy these alien invaders? Or will Earth be lost to the sting of conspiracy and a worldwide massacre?

Earth was in danger.
Jealous eyes gazed toward our
Sun from a planet called Jive Hive in another star system, black compound eyes
that peered without compassion as though we were flies caught on sticky paper
ready for the fire.
The first of their suns was setting as blood-orange light spilled into
the valley. Three female worker bees, two over seven feet tall and the other
not quite five feet, sat under a purple-flowered tree, sorting through various
blossoms, while other bees worked nearby.
"We can't go on like this much longer," Banter said. "There
are too many of us. The hive has to find a new home. The Black Watch wasps,
vicious as they are, know what they're doing. They've been scanning the skies
for hundreds of years and keeping a check on our population."
She sat next to her cousins, Zibb and Bipp. They had worked all day
collecting pollen for their hive. Now they rested and talked of the
Imperative—to colonize. The whole Jive Hive planet was abuzz with the news.
"Yes," Zibb agreed. "The queen said this one is a plum
ripe for the picking and only eight light years away. We'll be tired from the
long sleep when we arrive. It'll be a brand new adventure for us. A new Jive
Hive."
"Too bad there are beings there." Banter selected a fresh
flower and began culling its nectar.
"Too bad we have to kill them all," Zibb said. "I've
heard the new planet's green and warm. The wasp scouts said that it's abused by
its inhabitants, though."
"Their fault then and all the more reason to kill them. We must
take it while we can."
