Akeem Keeps Bees!: A Close-Up Look at the Honey Makers and Pollinators of Sankofa Farms | Kamal Eugene William Bell

1 post | 1 read

Young readers will learn the basics of beekeeping with this vibrantly illustrated book that takes place on the Sankofa Farms apiary. Told from Akeem's perspective, Akeem Keeps Bees! begins with the arrival and installation of a package of bees and follows Akeem and his Dad throughout the year as they inspect the hive, find the queen, deal with a swarm, harvest honey, and prepare for winter. Every part of the process is illustrated for young readers, teaching them the special role that bees play on a farm. The author, Kamal Bell, is a leading voice among Black farmers educating and inspiring Black youth about farming and beekeeping. Perfect for children ages 6 through 10.

Akeem Keeps Bees!: A Close-Up Look at the Honey Makers and Pollinators of Sankofa Farms | Kamal Eugene William Bell

pick

Akeem and his father (the author) live on a farm and keep bees. From the arrival of a new hive by mail through harvesting the honey, young readers (and adults alike) discover new things they didn't know about our buzzy friends. Vibrant and beautiful illustrations make it engaging on a visual level. I love how author Kamal E. Bell advocates for Black farmers and teaches young Black people about the importance of farming to our society.
