Review

The cover gives the impression that this is a sweet storybook about honeybees, when in fact it is a very important book describing the life and work of the bee and how it effects our lives. It explains why we need honeybees, their crucial importance to the human race and our food supply. It also tells us of the mystery of worldwide loss in the honeybee population. There is no clear cut answers to this problem. Author's note, facts, ways to help honeybees and Global Rescue efforts are included as well as glossary and websites.

Overall Book Score: excellent
