Description
Follow the flight of a honeybee as it searches for nectar to sustain its hive and, along the way, pollinates flowers to produce seeds and fruits.
A tiny honeybee emerges from the hive for the first time. Using sunlight, landmarks, and scents to remember the path, she flies in search of pollen and nectar to share with the thousands of other bees in her hive. She uses her powerful sense of smell to locate the flowers that sustain her, avoids birds that might eat her, and returns home to share her finds with her many sisters. Nature lovers and scientists-to-be are invited to explore the fascinating life of a honeybee, gleaning golden tidbits of knowledge to pollinate their young minds.

Reviews / Votes
This is both a compelling storybook and an educational natural science book. * Recommended Reads * The illustrations are saturated with colour and the insights into the world of bees are fascinating. * Sunday World * The book ties in well with children learning about minibeasts and life cycles in Foundation Stage and at KS1 and the vivid illustrations will help the facts to be remembered. The language is powerful - "She crawls under a leaf as hailstone bombs explode around her" - descriptive and vivid indeed * Parents in Touch *More details
