A tiny honey bee emerges from the hive for the first time. Using sunlight, landmarks, and scents to remember the path, she goes 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 honey bee.<\/span>The back of the book gives examples of how to save the bees that you can discuss as a family as well as an index.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"little](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mommyramblings.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/little-pear-tree.jpg?resize=182%2C300\")
