Summary:
Hello, Honeybees is a fun, interactive, and educational introduction to the hardworking honeybee. The book comes with two bee characters on ribbons attached to the beautifully illustrated pages. This allows for interaction and play while the educational story unfolds. The book illustrates the scientific facts of the honeybee ecosystem through simple and engaging content.
Plus point:
The book transforms into a stand-up beehive! A great new way of thinking about how a book can be a monument or a transformative object, not just a square or a rectangle.
For Bicyclers, it’s okay to just read the book, and let them get used to the concept. If your child is a Tricycler, go ahead and challenge them by asking questions like “What is pollen?” or “What do you think pollen feels like?” “What is nectar?” “Do you think it is sweet or sour?”
Take a look at this great animated video from SciShow Kids explaining pollen, nectar, and other parts of the flower. It also briefly talks about bees and other pollinators.
Next time you go to the flower garden during the springtime, point out the bees moving from flower to flower and remind them what the book said by asking “Look at the bees flying from flower to flower. What are they doing?”
