Let’s talk about bees. What do you really know about bees and what do you think you know about bees? I think that most people know that bees make honey and that there’s a queen bee, a drone bee and worker bees in a hive. Did you know that there’s hundreds of drone bees in a hive and that they only live a few weeks? Did you know that the queen bee typically lives 5 years and that she’s the mother to most of the bees in the hive? I thought the worker bees were busy, but the queen bee, she lays about 2,000 eggs a day! Welcome to just one page inside this fantastic book by Charlotte Milner. With the bee population dwindling, reading about these fascinating creatures made me realize just how important they really are.
With bright colorful illustrations this book is full and I mean, full of information!! Upon opening the book, there is a Table of Content which consists of a list of comments or questions pertaining to bees with a corresponding page number. Thumbing through the book, I love just looking at all the different illustrations on the pages and reading the text that accompanies them. Some of these are just fast-facts about bees and some provided more detailed reading but they’re not long reports on bees that slow me down or overwhelm me. At the back of the book, there’s a great index too. Did I mention how wonderful the illustrations are and how bright and colorful the pages are?
I can learn about pollination, why pollination is important, what a honeybee is, where honey comes from, and tons of information on the honeybee’s hives. I can learn about the different types of bees that are needed inside a hive, why the bee population is dying and what I can do to help the bees survive. I can also read about bee swarms which sound like a horrible thing but according to the brief summary, they usually aren’t.
This is a wonderful book. It’s a book worth keeping and definitely, one worth sharing. I’m sure that everyone will learn something from this book unless of course, you’ve been studying bees for years. So, where does a honeybee store the nectar that it collects before he goes back to the nest? How many eyes does the honeybee have? Why does he have so many? Can the female honeybee sting you? Better get reading to find these answers.

What is a Honeybee?
Honeybees live together in a large group called a colony. Every colony contains a queen bee and worker bees. The colony lives in a nest. Some nests are wild, and some are kept by humans in beehives.
How do Honeybees Talk to Each Other?
Honeybees need to be able to tell each other where to find the best flowers. But honeybees can't talk. Instead, they dance! Bees communicate inside the hive using the waggle dance.
What is a Swarm?
A large group of honeybees flying together is called a swarm. A swarm forms when the queen, along with some of the colony, leaves the old nest to find a new nest.
What Would We do Without Bees?
Without bees we would risk losing some types of fruit and vegetables. We would risk losing many meat and dairy products too, because we feed farm animals with food that is made from pollinated plants.
Why do We Need to Help the Bees?
Not only are bees important to the production of food through pollination, but they also help support a huge variety of wildlife. With fewer bees, other plants and animals in the environment could be in trouble, too.

I think this book should be in everyone’s library. We are a homeschool family and we did a bee unit study when I purchased this book. If I had to pick one book to base the entire unit off of it would be this one. Full of great information, easy to understand and definitely instilled a love for bees.
