The bees have an appointment at the vet's in the village, and Wilson has accompanied them to lend moral support.
Polly has explained to him that there are any number of bee diseases about and she and Billi need their annual shots for Deformed Wing Virus and Kaguo Virus, plus Johnson Ma and Johnson Mi need their first vaccinations.
The vet was unhappy giving the children injections for bee diseases since, as he pointed out, 'They're not actually bees.'
Billi fixed him with a stern glare and said, 'They are bees by adoption.'
Polly defused what could have been an awkward moment by suggesting that perhaps they could have their ladybird inoculations as well, to which the vet, knowing when he was defeated, agreed.
Wilson, having no love of needles, observed from a distance, closing his eyes when the syringes were brought out.
