There was once a sad little bee called Boris. He was being bullied by a big, bad bee called Buster. Buster didn’t like Boris because Boris was cleverer than he was. In fact, Boris was so clever that he was the cleverest bee in St. Benedict Bee’s school for busy bees. At every Spelling Bee he was the top dog (or bee, as it were) and he could do huge sums in his head. And because little Boris was cleverer than big Buster, Buster was jealous and teased Boris mercilessly.
Boris was so upset one day that he went to Mrs. Beatrice Bee (or Mrs. Bea, as she liked to be called) and told her all about what was happening. Mrs. Bea was very nice to Boris the little bee, and gave him warm nectar and told him to cheer up because she was going to talk to the Headmaster of St. Benedict Bee’s school for busy bees and get Buster to stop the bullying.
So Boris felt a lot better and went to biology in the afternoon feeling much happier. Indeed, Mrs. Bea had gone the Mr. Ben Bee, the headmaster of St. Benedict Bee’s school for busy bees and told him about Boris’ trouble. Mr. Ben Bee had been very understanding and had sent for Buster to tell him off for all the nasty things he had done to Boris. So Boris had the rest of his life to look forward to, to be clever and proud of it because Buster didn’t bully him any more. But all this didn’t matter anyway because on Boris’ way home he got eaten by a dog.

This one was for my pleasure 
And yes, I know it seems childish, and I can write more sophisticated stuff than this, but... it just fitted!

This was certainly something!
Had me right the way through and it got more than the odd laugh out of me!
Well done and best of luck!

That would make a super tongue twister.
Pleasurable to read.

Wow. You talk to bees...
is cleverer a british idiom? Or should you consider 'more clever?'
I take it Ben is short for Benedict; so one may deduce this bee was the founder of the institution. Strange; the name implies gravitas, heritage and permanence. Or perhaps, a descendant of the founder; perhaps many generations removed as in Benedict the IV?
And finally I get a little lost in the pronouns of the last line. Or perhaps, I am living in denial. And simply don't want to see the obveeious...
boris is doggie poo. -

Cleverer is right for us English, methinks. I've checked it out, and it is acceptable. Perhaps both ways are fine. Each to their own, eh? 'Boris is doggie poo'. That makes me laugh!
