Even though I love science, The Honey Bee was way over my head. I had trouble focusing on this one. I adore bees, but I did not adore this book. It was a snooze fest.

A really interesting look at all things about bees. There was a really good chapter on how bees navigate, and communicate in the hive on pollen sources.
