Benjamin Higgenbottom 01

This is Benjamin Higgenbottom - Bessie's 6-year old brother, Benjamin (usually called Ben, unless he’s in trouble) is a bit of a scaredy-cat, but hopes be Bessie's sidekick when she becomes the Mighty Bee. Though he won’t admit it, Ben feels his sidekick position was compromised when Happy came into the picture, hence Ben and Happy’s unspoken rivalry. As Bessie’s only sibling, Ben tends to get stuck wearing a girly costume (a nurse in “Apoxalypse Now” and a fishnet-clad assistant in “Hat Trick”, but he puts up with it if it’ll help Bessie get a badge. Ben often comes up with ideas when Bessie’s in a jam, but he rarely gets credit for it.
