Children follow the life of a busy worker bee as she moves from job to job in the hive. As a nurse bee, the worker feeds the larvae, nourishing the young. As a forager bee, she flies long distances in search of nectar. And as a guard bee, the worker warns the hive of intruders. The lively text and vibrant gouache art highlight the many activities of these busy insects and their amazing sense of community, while a special experiment encourages kids to dance like a honeybee to learn about bee communication. Originally published in English by National Geographic as "Honeybees," a volume in the acclaimed Jump into Science series, Abejas Meliferas will engage and inspire readers aged 4-8. Readers will also want to look for other titles in the "Descubre la ciencia" series, published by Stampley in association with National Geographic.
