Little Life Cycles: Bee - Maggie Li

Join Bee on the busy journey to collect nectar and pollen throughout the spring and summer.

From Bee pollinating plants and bringing nectar back to the hive in the spring to the busy and bustling hive in the height of summer, join Bee on this amazing journey. Follow the peep-through holes on every page to discover each stage of a honeybee's life.

After a long, cold winter, Bee sets off in search of some delicious nectar. Bee also works hard to carry pollen between plants and crops. Back at the hive, the Queen must lay lots of tiny eggs to help grow her colony. Before long, the hive is filled with new bees and lots of honey. At the end of the summer, Bee gets ready to start the cycle all over again.

A timely and important message about pollinators and what we can do to help is carefully interwoven with an introduction to life cycles for little readers. With bright, accessible illustrations by the talented Maggie Li and tactile pages that are ideal for little hands, this is the perfect STEM board book.
