Synopsis

Dive into the hive to uncover the intriguing and hidden lives of bees in this first title of a new beautifully illustrated nonfiction series.

Bees are incredible! There are so many different kinds found all over the world, from honeybees to diggers, leafcutters, and even meat-eating vulture bees.

Discover how a bee's eyes see the world in a unique way, how bees pollinate plants, how they communicate with a waggle dance, and how without bees, the world would be a very different (and much less wonderful) place.

The first in a new series of illustrated single-subject STE(A)M books for children aged 7-10, exploring some of the universe's most fascinating subjects. Published in collaboration with the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Botanic Garden.

Now a full-time writer, he lives in Somerset, England.
