Neye, Emily Honeybees: Step into Reading: Step 2, A Science Reader. Illustrated by Tom Leonard. Random House Children’s Books, 2002. $3.99.
What is nectar? What is pollen? Where do honeybees live? What is the queen bee’s role? How fast do bees grow? How do bees communicate with one another? Is honey just a treat for bees? What is a beekeeper’s job? What does a bee do during the winter? Do bees do anything more than make honey? All of these questions intermixed with beautiful illustrations can be answered in this early reader. The text is simple to read and understand. The illustrations are detailed and informational. This book could be used in a unit on any subject related to bees.

This is a solid introductory text about honeybees for beginning readers. They will learn about how bees make honey, build hives, and let other bees know about promising places to gather nectar through the dances they do. The book even explains how bees protect their hives and their food from others who might want to eat it for themselves as well as how beekeepers work. The illustrations showcase close-up views of the hives and the bees. Back matter includes a note from the author explaining the importance of bees for many of the foods we eat and offers suggestions to help bees thrive.

very cool, bees are the best. interesting read. i got it through my local library leaning program. get to reading. bye. i guess for me i thought it would be more realistic (after all the fact that bees are so real, do a great job keeping flowers and other plants going, etc. i mean it is just amazing, makes you think, and dream about all the amazing stuff they get done in this world. wow!!) the illustrations are quite cartoon-y ...if that make sense.

3.5. Good illustrations and information. I wish there were real life photographs, but that's just my preference with science type books.

O.K., so this is the THIRD fact book I got about bees, and you know what? First, it was supposed to be the hardest, but it wasn’t THAT hard. And second, the other two had REAL pictures but hardly any facts, but THIS one was PAINTINGS and it had the MOST facts! Like about why they sting, and how they sting. And did you know when bees sting, they die. They don’t kill YOU, but they die, because their stingers come out. So remember that next time you get stung. It HURTS, but at least you’re not DEAD.
And bees even sting BEARS! Because you know why? BEARS LOVE HONEY! And who makes honey? BEES! And the bears try to steal that honey all the time. And bears aren’t all that smart and they can’t warn each other, so they never learn.
And see, that’s ANOTHER good fact in this book. Is that it tells you all about how bees make honey. They go to flowers and get pollen and nectar and then they make honey in their hives, so that way they aren’t hungry when it gets cold.
Those were the exact facts I wanted from those other bee books. So that makes this one GREAT.
You know what’s weird? I saw all these books at the library and I ALMOST got this one first, but I got the ones with real pictures in them first instead. And those ones didn’t have any facts in them at all.
So the moral of the story is: real pictures aren’t everything!
