Reviews
“This book is a valuable guide for a youth audience, or anyone approaching this subject for the first time. It is richly illustrated, covers a significant amount of detail, and avoids those well trodden myths of the First World War, to provide a concise history on the topic.”“Crammed with stunning images, and engagingly written, this is an alluring insight into the life of the humble honeybee. This really is the ‘bee’s knees’ of children’s bee books!”
Jane Moseley, General Secretary, British Beekeepers Association
“This engaging and thoughtfully compiled look at the world of the humble honeybee presents masses of fascinating facts along with well-chosen photography, in a clear, appealing, and non-patronising way.”
Teach Primary Magazine, July 2012
“The text is engaging, aimed at children of around 9+, and is ideal for topic work. The slim format belies the amount of information and production values contained; it is remarkable value for money, and would be a valuable addition to the insect section of any school library.”
