* HonestyAesop: In an episode, Boo notices Peek dislikes the story she made up because it's unrealistic, but he likes Fishy's true story. So she thinks that Peek will like her stories better if she said they were true, and tells him a story about how she was "beamed" to the moon on a moonbeam. Peeks believes this and waits for a moonbeam to do the same to him outside. The lesson of the episode is that making up stories is fine, but if you try to make someone believe they're true, you're lying, which is bad.

!Tropes for the series:
* AffectionHatingKid: One episode where Boo is reading to a sick Peek and he says he feels sick. When Boo tells him to throw up in his bucket, he says, "No, not that sick kind - kissing stories make me sick!"
* BilingualAnimal: Bumble the Bee talks but often says "Zzz". This is actually ArtisticLicenseBiology; bees buzzing is not a vocalization but rather the noise of their wings beating together.
* HonestyAesop: In an episode, Boo notices Peek dislikes the story she made up because it's unrealistic, but he likes Fishy's true story. So she thinks that Peek will like her stories better if she said they were true, and tells him a story about how she was "beamed" to the moon on a moonbeam. Peeks believes this and waits for a moonbeam to do the same to him outside. The lesson of the episode is that making up stories is fine, but if you try to make someone believe they're true, you're lying, which is bad.
* LostVoicePlot: In one episode, Bumble loses his voice and Boo wants to "find it".
* MissedMealAesop: One episode has [[ThemeNaming Boo and Peak]] are preoccupied studying and trying to fix a toy car (which, unbeknown to him, [[ShaggyDogStory just has dead batteries]] respectively, but they skip lunch and become irritable. The moral is that being busy is good, but everyone needs to eat.
* MysteryEpisode: Downplayed in one episode. Half the episode is about Peek playing detective trying to figure out who tore the page from a cookbook, the other half is about how to deal with the situation once it's revealed that it was [[spoiler:Boo]].
* OutOfContextEavesdropping: In an episode with AnAesop about listening, Fishy states that "it might rain or it might not". Bumble doesn't hear the "might not" and thinks it will definitely rain. He remarks "we'd better take the clothes in case there's going to be a storm", but Boo only hears "there's going to be a storm" part and tells Peek that there will be a storm and might be a flood, but he's distracted by playing and only hears something about a flood, so he starts to prepare for a flood.
* SeekingTheIntangible: One episode has the eponymous bee lose his voice and Boo thinks that a voice is an actual being and goes searching for it. Bumble, instead of telling her that a voice is just a sound, tells her that [[LiesToChildren his voice is just having a rest"]].
* WarningSong: The show has an episode where Fishy says, "It might rain or it might not." Bumble wasn't listening properly and didn't hear the "might not", so he tells someone else that it's going to rain and that they'd better take clothes in off the line case there's a storm. Boo just hears something about storms and so sings a song to Peek, warning him that he'd better not be outside "when the wind begins to roar".
