Summary:
Many people think bees are nuisances because they can sting. However, bees have a very important job to do. Bees pollinate our world. Without bees, we wouldn't have many of the foods we eat and many of the beautiful flowers we love. Up-close photographs show how interesting and beautiful bees are. Age-appropriate language allows readers to draw connections between the photographs and the text, which explores bees' life cycle and the habitats in which they live.
