“In the Trees, Honey Bees” explains the workings of a honey bee colony in an interesting and informative way.

Cayden:  “I liked learning about all of the jobs that the different bees have.  My favorite ones are the guard bees that go after the intruders like the bear.  I also liked how they send that one bee out to find flowers and he comes back and tells the other bees where it is.  I learned a lot about bees in this book!”
