Benny the Bear

Benny is a burly bear with a surprisingly gentle touch, necessary for his role as the town's beekeeper. Covered in thick brown fur that's often seen with a dusting of pollen, Benny wears a constant smile under his big, bushy beard. He sports a wide-brimmed hat and a protective suit that he only dons when absolutely necessary, as he seems to have an innate understanding with his bees. Benny is known for his deep, rumbling laugh and his penchant for sharing stories about the secret life of bees. His passion for his apiary is matched only by his dedication to teaching others about the importance of these tiny creatures. Despite his imposing size, children are not afraid to approach him, often found trailing behind as he checks on his hives.
