Reach for this book when your child points excitedly at a bee in the garden or expresses a mix of fear and fascination toward buzzing insects. It serves as a gentle bridge to move a child from a place of 'scary stingers' to one of appreciation for the hard work and complex systems of the natural world. By humanizing the bees through their specific roles, it fosters a sense of respect for the environment. Anne Rockwell provides a clear, narrative introduction to the life cycle of the honeybee, specifically focusing on the hierarchy of the hive and the fascinating process of honey production. The book uses accessible language to explain science through the lens of community and cooperation. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who are beginning to ask 'how' and 'why' about the animals they see in their own backyards.
