Gonta wouldn't usually bother with parties, but this one is called a "garden party", and where there are gardens...there are bugs. Usually. There should be, anyway! Plus, this might be an opportunity for him to reunite with familiar faces—from home or otherwise.
Yet the inevitable happens regardless: the big man finds a bumblebee settled on some flowers and leans in to chat with it, as if no one were around to see or find it odd.
"Good afternoon, little friend," he says to it. "Gonta sees you groomed yourself well for this occasion. Very spiffy!"
