Take to the sky with Apis, one honeybee, as she embarks on her journey through Life A tiny honeybee emerges through the wax cap of her cell.
A Junior Library Guild Selection.
Similar in form and concept to the Sibert and Orbis Pictus award book Giant Squid, Honeybee also features a stunning gatefold and an essay on the plight of honeybees.
Award-winning author Candace Fleming describes the Life cycle of the honeybee in accessible, beautiful language.
Eric Rohmann\'s exquisitely detailed illustrations bring the great outdoors into your hands in this poetically written tribute to the hardworking honeybee.
The confining walls of the hive fall away as APIs takes to the air, finally free, in a brilliant double-gatefold illustration where the clear blue sky is full of promise-- and the wings of dozens of honeybees, heading out in search of nectar to bring back to the hive.
And finally, she begins her new Life as an adventurer.
She defends the hive from invaders.
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.
Driven to protect and take care of her hive, she cleans the nursery and feeds the larvae and the queen.
