Honeybees: Jump into Science

About this book

Children follow the life of a busy worker bee as she moves from job to job in the hive helping the community in various ways. As a nurse bee the worker feeds the larvae nourishing the young into adulthood. As a forager bee she flies long distances in search of nectar pollinating plants as she moves from flower to flower. And as a guard bee the worker warns the hive of intruders and battles honey-stealing robber bees from other hives. The simple informative text and vibrant gouache art highlight the many activities of these busy insects and their amazing sense of community while a special experiment encourages kids to dance like a honeybee to learn about bee communication.
