Next to my porch in my garden while I was reading, a monarch butterfly visited my bee balm & milkweed! My neighbor has seen monarchs, & yellow & black swallowtails. When I stopped by for a chat, I had the privilege of seeing all three visit her garden. 🦋
“Thousands of other bees rise from the nest, too, first to orient themselves and then to forage for water, or collect a sticky lant sap called propolis, a kind of bee glue or gather pollen.”
I love this book as a read aloud and a way to learn about animals and insects. This would be great in a series of lessons that teach about the small animals around us.
pickThis book by candace Fleming and Eric Rohmann is a simpler read with beautiful pictures that show the life of the Apis Mellifera which is a specific type of bee. It provides information on how the bees live their lives, collect pollen and create honey. It gives a look at the small life of a bee that makes a major difference for the world around us.
