Honey Bees: Letters from the Hive

A fascinating look at the story of bees, the many extraordinary and often unexpected ways they've enriched our lives from prehistoric times to today, and their importance in keeping the food chain thriving. This is the perfect book for honey lovers young and old, as well as a great choice for middle and high school book reports or for use as a resource for science projects.
Readers will be taken into the hive--one part nursery, one part honey factory, one part queen's inner sanctum--then fly through backyard gardens, open fields, and deserts where wildflowers bloom. It's fascinating and delicious!
For honey fanatics and all who have a sweet tooth, this book not only entertains and enlightens but also reminds us of the fragility of humanity's relationship with nature.
