Highlighted book for this episode! Honeybee: The Busy Life of Apis Mellifera by Candace Fleming (Author), Eric Rohmann (Illustrator)
A tiny honeybee emerges through the wax cap of her cell. Driven to protect and take care of her hive, she cleans the nursery and feeds the larvae and the queen. But is she strong enough to fly? Not yet!
Apis builds wax comb to store honey, and transfers pollen from other bees into the storage. She defends the hive from invaders. And finally, she begins her new life as an adventurer.
