Stellar concept with mediocre execution. The first half was very disappointing. It was more confusing than informative and instead of having helpful illustrations about cool concepts like waggle dances, there was relatively generic bee art. The second half describing bee species was better but a bit heavy on very similar kinds of parasitic bees (based on the descriptions provided) and repurposing those pages for more of the first part would've worked better.
So much potential, but desperately in need of a first-half re-write.
Such a cute 🐝 bee book How do they know Queen bees smell of lemons? How do they know a banana smell is released when a bee has stung so other bees go, oh Hive is under attack? like this fathoms my Brain! Was kind of confusing in places like so How long does a drone live? It gets kicked out the hive...but the workers only live 6 weeks.
