Wikipedia article
'Beezy Bear' is a 1955 Disney animated short featuring Donald Duck, who appears as a beekeeper.[http://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/bearly-a-star-a-tribute-to-disneys-humphrey-the-bear/ Bearly a Star: A Tribute To Disneys Humphrey the Bear-Cartoon Research] This is Humphrey the Bear's fifth appearance. The cartoon portrays Humphrey as a honey-stealing bear.
Plot
While beekeeper Donald is working one morning, he catches Humphrey the bear raiding his hives in an attempt to steal some of the honey. The bees then chase Humphrey, forcing him to hide underwater in a nearby pond.
Donald complains to Ranger Woodlore, who assembles his bears and informs them of Donald's predicament. Told that someone is stealing Mr. Duck's honey, the entire group expresses mock outrage. Humphrey, who is the last bear to arrive, is still dripping from being in the pond. When Woodlore asks him why he is always wet, and he responds by making body-washing gestures, Woodlore tells him that he bathes too much.
The Ranger then shows the bears the property boundary line between their park and Donald's honey farm. Donald puts up a barbed wire fence to keep the bears out, but this does not stop Humphrey, who uses a sign to prop it up. After failing twice to outsmart the bees, Humphrey uses a hose to try to obtain the honey, but Donald takes the hose and fills it with water to make look like honey running through, which squirts in his face and catapults, Humphrey, Donald and Woodlore into the pond, after which Woodlore hits him on the head and says, "You take too many baths!"
