Bramble, gives the newly anointed Queen Queentella a run for her honey as she is moved from job to job in the kingdom, sometimes goofing up, sometimes simply whining like a mosquito on a hot summer night. Queens must be queens for a reason, and patience seems to be Queentella’s strong suit as she watches Bramble bumble from one task to another.
