1.I would recommend this book to middle to lower elementary school.
2.This book goes through a narrative of what it is like to be a worker bee from birth. It also gets rid of a big misconception of a worker bee. I learned that worker bees don't leave the nest until 25 days after birth. This book explains that worker bees start with cleaning and taking care of the queen bee.
3.I wouldgighly recommend this book and it will probobly be using this book in my future classroom.

Candace Fleming and Eric Rohmann describe the life cycle of the hard-working honeybee in this poetically written, thoroughly researched picture book. They follow the life of one bee – birth to death. The illustrations give the reader a closeup, accurate look at the life of this bee and the many jobs she performs for the hive. Suspense builds for the reader as he/she waits for this bee (Apis) to take her first flight. This event is marked by a stunning gatefold illustration.
Back matter includes a detailed diagram of the honeybee and an essay on the plight of honeybees. The goal of this nonfiction book is to inform readers, but also encourage children to understand the importance of the honeybee and to serve as an advocate for this threatened species.

It might be a little too long for younger readers, but the illustrations are gorgeous, and the information it shares about bees is fascinating.

honeybee. The narrative starts with her birth, then charts her growth and development. An incredible look at the life
cycle of a bee.
