Bea's Bees
Written by Katherine Pryor, illustrated by Ellie Peterson
Schiffer Kids - 2019
Beatrix discovers a wild bumblebee nest on her way home from school and finds herself drawn to their busy world. When her bees mysteriously disappear, Bea hatches a plan to bring them back. Can Bea inspire her school and community to save the bees?
Bees provide us with valuable resources, and some types of bees are in danger of disappearing forever. But ordinary people (and kids!) can help save them. Filled with fascinating facts about bumblebees and ideas to help preserve their environment, BEA'S BEES encourages kids to help protect bees and other pollinators.
