The buzz is big for Douglas Florian's new poetry collection about the
unBEElieveably unique lives of honeybees--and the vital role they play
in our ecosystem.
Come inside the honeycomb--a busy, buzzy, bee-filled home--and learn
about the unexpected wonders of these tiny insects' lifestyles,
families, and communities. In fourteen funny, fact-filled honeybee poems
and paintings, Douglas Florian explores the natural history of these
often-unappreciated critters, revealing them to be a totally cool--and
totally important--part of our ecosystem. Indeed, these buzzy bugs have
been in the spotlight lately as wild bee populations are dwindling,
honey prices are rising, and beekeeping has become a popular hobby.
