The Way of the Hive: a honeybee’s story by Jay Hosler - ESSENTIAL

 The Way of the Hive: a honeybee’s story by Jay Hosler, 160 pages. NON-FICTION GRAPHIC NOVEL. HarperAlley, 2021. $13.

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Nyuki is a bee larvae who isn’t convinced she’s ready to metamorphosize, but Divorah, an older bee talks her through her anxiety. Through Nyuki’s eyes, and her sarcastic wit, we see the life cycle of a bee, a hive, and a bit of the world around them.

Hosler’s work is miles above in quality and readability of the Science Comics books. I don’t know how many other topics he could expound upon, but I would look forward to any he can give us.
