With a war on and sugar rationed, Barney Bear goes in search of honey from wild bees, with the aid of a book.
Director Rudolf Ising turns in a very good little cartoon here, even though he leans heavily on Fred Quimby's staff, rather than his usual producing partner, Hugh Harman. Were they wrangling at the time? In any case, like most of the Barney Bear shorts, this is essentially a silent comedy, and a well-timed one at that. The usual candybox stye of animation is in evidence here, with Joseph Smith's background and layout work particularly fine.
