The Adventures of Zaina and Nahoul

So I thought it would be cool to see just how much Bees show up within the world of art: you know, pictures, paintings, drawings, logos, designs and mascots. Turns out, Bees are really quite popular in the various art forms I decided to look up.

Eventually, I got to thinking and began to wonder if there was ever a Bee cartoon, one that perhaps I never saw growing up. To my surprise, there actually is! And lucky for me, it was in a language I could understand: Arabic!


I would really be remiss if I didnt include this clip of “The Adventures of Zaina and Nahoul,” an old Arabic cartoon about a small little bee named Zaina (Arabic for “Full of Beauty and Grace”), her little friend Nahoul and all the trouble they get into.

Apparently there are about 30 episodes to the entire show, each episode lasting a normal 20+ minutes. If you speak and/or understand Arabic, this may bring up some childhood memories. Or if youre a dedicated learner of the language, these episodes can definitely help you build you listening and vocab skills

Hope you enjoy!
