Summary
An informative look at the honeybee provides a close-up view of the life cycle, social organization, and characteristics of one of the world's most valuable insects and explains what a beekeeper does and how people use honeybees and their products.
(view table of contents)Amazon.com description: Product Description: Why do beekeepers use smoke machines when collecting honey? Can a bee really sting only once? Why do bees "dance"? In concise, detailed text and abundant illustrations that range from the humorous to the scientific, Charles Micucci offers a wide-ranging and spirited introduction to the life cycle, social organization, and history of one of the world's most useful insects. He includes information on how bees make honey, what a beekeeper does, and products that contain beeswax-everything from lipstick to waxes for buffing surfboards. Micucci's rare gift for making science enjoyable and accessible is again revealed in this remarkably witty, rich salute to the honeybee.
