The Very Clever Bee

Bees know exactly what they are doing. Their world is highly organised and efficient.  Curious children can discover their secrets in this fully illustrated and highly informative non-fiction book about bees for middle grade children, sprinkled with fact boxes and bee-related quotes from Aristotle to Mohammed Ali. Topics covered include the life cycle of the honey bee, pollination, the relationship between bees and flowers, the evolution of bees, humankind’s uses of honey, wax and propolis, threats to the survival of bees and how we can help bees to flourish.

‘The only reason for being a bee that I know of is to make honey. And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it.’ Winnie The Pooh
