“A bee‘s life is busy, busy, busy… but it‘s a good life.“
Students would love this book! I was captivated by the images and wonderful vocab! After reading the book, have students create a visual representation of the honeybee‘s life cycle, from egg to adult. They can cut out pictures and arrange them in the correct order, labeling each stage. This activity reinforces knowledge of life cycles and biology.
“Honeybee: The Busy Life of Apis Mellifera“ by Candace Fleming is a captivating and educational picture book that brings to life the fascinating world of honeybees. Through lyrical prose and vibrant illustrations by Eric Rohmann, the book explores the life cycle of a honeybee, from its birth in the hive to its essential role in pollination.
Some books just feel like magic, and for me, this is one of them (among the likes of Where The Heart is, The Help, and Practical Magic). I think what makes the magic is the author's ability to fully immerse the reader's senses in her descriptions of the setting, and to make the reader fall so in love with the characters. This one is going in my top 10. 🥰
