A 2013 Skipping Stones Honor Award Winner

In this counting story, Mr. Tate's class takes a field trip to a bee farm and learns about bees and how they make honey.

How do bees count? The bees at the Busy Bee Farm buzz through the sky as one big swarm, fly over two waving dandelions, find three wild strawberries dripping tasty nectar…As the children in Mr. Tate's class listen, they learn how bees work to produce honey and make food and flowers grow. Bees count―they're important to us all. Alison Formento's gentle message is illustrated with Sarah Snow’s bright, realistic papercuts.

Reviews

K-Gr 2–During a trip to Busy Bee Farm, Mr. Tate and his students don protective gear and learn how the insects produce honey and pollinate plants. This exquisitely illustrated offering merges fact and fancy as the bees zip into the air and buzz a rhythmic counting song while visiting a plethora of spring-hued blooms.α(c) Copyright 2013.
