The Life And Times Of The Honeybee Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Why do beekeepers use smoke machines when collecting honey? Can a bee really sting only once? Why do bees "dance"? In concise, detailed text and abundant illustrations that range from the humorous to the scientific, Charles Micucci offers a wide-ranging and spirited introduction to the life cycle, social organization, and history of one of the world's most useful insects. He includes information on how bees make honey, what a beekeeper does, and products that contain beeswax--everything from lipstick to waxes for buffing surfboards. Micucci's rare gift for making science enjoyable and accessible is again revealed in this remarkably witty, rich salute to the honeybee.

I teach First Grade and we are working on a unit on bees. This book has beautiful illustrations and all anyone would want to know about bees. It also tells about the various types of honey and bees. There is an diagram of a beekeeper in his/her protective clothes. This book has helped make my class wild about bees.
My husband, Bob, writes: As a retired beekeeper and long-time educator, I sometimes make presentations to children as well as groups of adults about the honeybee. This little book is the best resource available anywhere! Charles Minucci has his facts straight! Well researched, clearly presented, and accurately illustrated, The Life and Times of the Honeybee is a great resource and should be in every elementary school classroom and in every bee enthusiast's library.
Such a sweet and informative little book! My daughter grew up with a grandfather who was a bee keeper, so I purchase things "bee" for her. The illustrations are lovely, and the information is factual. I would recommend this for anyone having children, or for that matter, any adult who is interested in honey or the honey bee! Thank you so much. Carol f. Raines
Borrowed out my book to a friend who is just starting beekeeping, she used it in a presentation to her elementary class and to help her pre-teen son learn about honey-bee life. (And then ordered one for herself!) I use it with my grandson. A nice, well illustrated book on the full life cycle, job routine and importance of honeybees.
As a beekeeper with many beekeeper friends, I can attest that this is the best basic beekeeping book I have read for the beginner to novice and the just plain interested. I have bot over a dozen copies now to give away. I even sent 6 copies with a friend who works with school kids in Kenya to help them learn English and about bees all at once. They love it! This book deserves 6 STARS.
The book gives a very informative easy to read life of the bees.It's and easy to read must read book to help us understand the importance of the pollinators in our lives.
I was looking for a nonfiction book for kids to include in a literacy bag I was creating for a class project. After looking at some other books, I found this book to be the best choice. It very informative and easy to read and follow. It's straight forward and presents the facts (along with diagrams).
We are beekeepers and harvest honey a couple times a year. We have a library of books and this book is among our most informative and the illustrations are wonderful! I have bought one for everyone I know! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LITTLE BOOK! Great for people ages 2 to 102!
