48 pgs. full-color photos. 2004. Upper elementary, middle school. Infotech recommended title.

BEES is filled with facts and fascinating details about the common honeybee. An excellent introductory tool for budding researchers, this book is liberally illustrated with colorful photographs and drawings and includes sidebars of pertinent information. Young readers will be amazed to learn that 3,000-year-old honey found in Egyptian pharaohs' tombs is still good to eat and that forager bees use water and their wings to provide an air conditioning system for the hive's nursery residents. A wonderful supplement to the science classroom, BEES is sure to inspire spirited discussion. A highly recommended purchase for elementary school media centers. --Infotech Review
