The Honeybee by Kirsten Hall

Recommended for ages 5+

Summary

This cheerful story documents the activities of busy honeybees! First, they buzz around looking for the perfect flower to pollinate; then they extract nectar from the flowers and bring it back to their hive to turn into honey! Wintertime is a test for the bees as nothing grows, but in spring, they come back out again and thrive!
