Product Description:
This inside-the-hive view of a wild colony of honey bees offers close-up views of the queen, the cells, even bee eggs. The reader is left with admiration for the remarkable lives of honey bees, whether in the hive or in the field. (Softcover) 32 pages - fully illustrated : Book size: 9 x 11 inches Review: This beautiful large-format book shows the bees living in their natural home, a hollow tree. The dramatically large drawings realistically show the bees and their comb, brood, pollen and honey. Most pages have a little rhyme accompanying the drawing. Although this is primarily a picture book, the text for each picture presents some accurate information about the life of bees. The book ends with two pages giving more details about honey bees along with several references. These pages will give parents and teachers enough information to augment the picture captions. This book is sheer enjoyment for all ages. Ann Harman, Pres. of Virginia State Beekeepers Assn. (March 2009)
