If your using the charger and battery that came with your Honey bee chances are the one or the other is no good. My friend had the same problem with his HB and I loaned him one of my 1500 mah li-pos that was just laying around that I had not been charged in several weeks and the heli came to life like the day he bought it. I think he just bought a new charger and new batteries. You also may want to check to see if there's any stiffness in the drive tran. That can eat up batts real quickly.
