Who are The Bumble Bees?

 The Bumble Bee Gang! (From Left to Right): Kiara Muhammad, G Hannelius, Taylar Hender, Kelly Gould, Haley Tju 
Yep, you read that right! Last week, we introduced you to G Hannelius (CLICK HERE if you missed it), who plays Bumble Bee Emily Pearson in the Disney Channel Original Movie Den Brother (airing Friday, Aug. 13, at 8 p.m. ET/PT).

The flick follows Alex Pearson (played by Hutch Dano), a self-centered hockey star who, after being suspended from the team for showboating during a game, must step in as leader for his sister Emily’s Bumble Bee troop once the old den mom resigns. While constantly babysitting a gang of elementary school-aged girls doesn’t sound enjoyable, nor does posing as “Mrs. Zamboni,” the “new” den mother, Alex finds humor in persuading Emily and her four closest Bumble Bee buds to do his household chores in exchange for faux merit badges.

But who are Taylar, Kelly, Kiara and Haley, the four adorable actresses who play the remaining Bumble Bee Troop 57 gang?

We headed out to the movie’s Utah set and got to hang with the gals to get the scoop. Check it out…

Meet…Taylar Hender
Bumble Bee Counterpart: Abigail—the celeb-obsessed member of Bumble Bee Troop 57.
Taylar’s Favorite Fashion Musts: “There’s this really cool sparkly hat, skinny jeans and cool boots that I just got. They’re like biker boots and they have these buckle straps. They’re really cool.”
Number of Sibs: Two bros. “Since they’re guys, we [like to] arm wrestle and play the Wii.”

Meet…Kelly Gould (psst…she’s a GL reader, too!)
Bumble Bee Counterpart: Rachel—the artistic and offbeat member of Bumble Bee Troop 57.
Kelly’s Favorite Fashion Musts: “I just recently got a really cute dark blue Abercrombie Kids shirt. I like wearing that with hot pink skinny jeans and high tops.”
Number of Sibs: One bro and one sis. “I like wrestling with my brother. [And] with my sister, we do fashion shows and photo shoots because she loves wardrobe. We always take big pieces of sparkled cloth and turn it into beautiful dresses.”

Kiara Muhammad, chilling on the set of Den Brother with a recent copy of GL.

Meet…Kiara Muhammad
Bumble Bee Counterpart: Ursula—the super-organized, by-the-books member of Bumble Bee Troop 57.
Kiara’s Favorite Fashion Musts: “I [like] my dark skinny jeans and sneaker black boots. Then there’s this newsboy hat that has paint splattered all over it in different spots that I got from Claire’s.”
Number of Sibs: One sis. “My favorite thing to do with her would probably be to play whatever games [we can] in the house.”

Meet…Haley Tju
Bumble Bee Counterpart: Tina—the introverted, animal loving member of Bumble Bee Troop 57.
Haley’s Favorite Fashion Musts: “I like wearing a nice blue shirt that I have with all these sparkles and skinny jeans with moccasins.”
Number of Sibs: Three sisters and one bro. “What I do with my brother is, I run away from him. He’s a wrestler; he’s scary. With my sisters, [we like to just] put on a bunch of clothes that don’t match at all. Then we start taking pictures, pretending that we’re famous and there’s paparazzi.”

Be sure to catch Kelly, Taylar, Kiara, Haley and the rest of the Den Brother cast when the flick premieres on Disney Channel Friday, August 13, then let us know your thoughts.

If you were to play a Bumble Bee, who would you most likely be? Blog about it, babes.
