This picture book details the life of a honeybee through the seasons. A great introduction to what honeybees do and how they make honey!

"Tiny honey cells are capped. Liquid gold is sealed and trapped. And only when it's needed most--a hungry day--will these vaults be tapped."
Anything with Isabelle Arsenault's illustrations becomes instantly beautiful. Her drawings immediately match Kirsten Hall's poetry, filled with onomatopoeias, rhymes, and utmost imagination. Together, the poem and illustrations create for us an understanding of how bees make their honey, from early spring through fall. They must collect pollen and nectar and rest and store, not to mention doing a dance to let their friends know where the best pollen is!
Overall, a sweet and beautiful book about some of nature's best bugs.

A short and sweet educational easy reader, The Honeybee boasts beautiful illustrations and fun, jaunty rhymes to teach little ones about our honeybee’s work cycle from the fresh buzz of the morning to the hard work and patience for nectar to form into honey. My little readers enjoyed :)

"The Honeybee"'s use of vibrant colors and winding images makes for lovely and beautiful illustrations. This book also has informational pages at the end with facts about honeybees that were discussed throughout the book.
