This book answers these questions and gives young readers comprehensive, beautifully illustrated information about humankind’s greatest ally – the very clever bee. Discover the life cycle and anatomy of the honey bee, the happy relationship between bees and flowers, our many uses of honey and beeswax, and how we can all help bees.
