Mr. Cardinal has invited the 5 friends over to see his beehives and to learn about bees. The children learn how to make their community friendly for bees by planting wildflowers and not using harmful pesticides. They go to the garden center to choose plants the bees will like and learn about a pollinator garden. Mr. Cardinal shows them what the inside of a hive looks like, and tells them about the jobs of the workers, the queen and the drone. He even shows them how to collect the honey.
Scot Richie has written a wonderful primer on bees! It even covers what to do if you get a sting and how to make a bee bath. It's like a field trip to the country. Each section is only a 2 page spread. The illustrations are busy and fun so there are a lot of things to find, and lots of terrific information.
