Daphne's Bees - by Catherine Dempsey

Ten-year-old Daphne is abuzz with excitement! She's learning the ins and outs of beekeeping from her grandmother. Together they assemble hive boxes, set up a colony, tend the colony, and gather honey. Told in a simple, straightforward manner, this beautifully illustrated informational storybook is an excellent introduction to the many aspects of beekeeping. It includes lots of useful information, bee facts, and more, all wrapped up in a story that celebrates the connection between grandparent and grandchild.
