Why do beekeepers use smoke machines when collecting honey? Can a bee really sting only once? Why do bees "dance"? In concise, detailed text and abundant illustrations that range from the humorous to the scientific, Charles Micucci offers a wide-ranging and spirited introduction to the life cycle, social organization, and history of one of the world's most useful insects. He includes information on how bees make honey, what a beekeeper does, and products that contain beeswax--everything from lipstick to waxes for buffing surfboards. Micucci's rare gift for making science enjoyable and accessible is again revealed in this remarkably witty, rich salute to the honeybee. Review: Excellent Information - This is a child’s book but I learned so much about bees. It is very well done, interesting and informative with lovely illustrations.

BEEautiful little book
I was looking for a little book about honey bees as another visual for a presentation I was doing. This one was not only a pretty quick and easy read, but full of wonderful information. For anyone looking to learn about honey bees, this is a great start. Easy enough for kids to understand with beautiful pictures, but informative enough for adults as well. (I'm big on people learning the difference between honey bees and wasps, I think this book is great tool for learning how to identify bees and why they are so important.)

Very detailed book full of facts
I bought this for my 4 year old son because he wanted to learn more about bees. The book is good but I was hoping it would read more like a story with bee facts but it’s more of just a fact book. Very detailed which is good just not a good book to read your kids

Beautiful Artwork
I appreciate the beautiful illustrations in the book. There is too much information to use it as a story book for a 4-year old, but we did read through it once. It would be great for a primary student who wants to know more about bees. It was informative for Grandma, too!

Great way to learn about honey bees
Great way to learn about honey bees. I bought this book for my 7 year old granddaughter who will be helping her father in his first year of beekeeping. I read through the book myself and found it to be very accurate and an easy to understand.

Para brasileiros
Para quem é brasileiro, pois só vi gringos comentando, o livro é maravilhoso e bem detalhado sobre a colmeia, a estrutura física da abelha sobre a rainha o casulo como forma o mel, os produtos derivados livros extremamente detalhado e interessante. O livro é o qual tem a abelha gigante. Lembrando que ele é em inglês não é traduzido, a capa é comum não dura!

Bought for my 8 year old as he is interested in helping me keep bees. The illustrations are a good mix of factual drawings and cartoon type drawings. The information set at the right level for children to keep their interest.
