Bees are one of the hardest working insects on our planet. As they buzz from plant to plant, they spread pollen which helps our food to grow. Without them, the world would be a very different place.
Discover all you need to know about bees and their place in our world through experiments, investigations and hands-on tasks. This book takes a cross-disciplinary approach, including links to culture, history, arts and crafts, as well as the science behind the topic, encouraging children to engage with the natural world through exploration, creativity and investigation.

Dr Andrea Quigley has kept bees for over ten years. A keen gardener and lover of nature and the environment, Andrea brings her background in agricultural botany to bear on her understanding of bees and beekeeping. A freelance writer, she writes regularly for beekeeping journals on all aspects of bees and beekeeping.
Paulina Morgan works as an independent illustrator based in Santiago de Chile. She studied design before moving to Barcelona, Spain to obtain her master's degree in Art Direction. She worked in advertising before deciding to pursue her passion for illustration.
Gr 2–5—A cross-disciplinary approach to the topic of bees that covers biology, history, culture, and science. There are also games, dances, crafts, and projects. The information is well researched and presented in an engaging manner. The illustrations are colorful in a child-friendly style and illustrate the text well. Instructions for the different activities are easy to understand. There is a glossary of "bee" words and a listing of different species with their common and scientific name. The book is beautiful, educational, and fun. While there are no actual photographs of bees, the illustrator does draw each one with its identifying characteristic. The information is detailed, including anatomy, lifespan, and activities of the bee, how pollination works, and how the insects contribute to the environment. VERDICT An excellent book about bees for elementary students with a wealth of information.—Cynde Suite, Bartow City. Library System, Adairsville, GA
