What would happen if there were no bees in this world? It would be a disaster!

This series takes readers (Ages 8-12) on a historical journey, examining how people coped in the past and how they developed ingenious ways to make life safer and less unpleasant. Each book features full-color cartoon-style illustrations and hilarious speech bubbles to heighten interest, making the series attractive even to reluctant readers.Without bees, we would, of course, have no honey. But we'd also lose a lot of other foods and useful products like cotton produced by plants that bees pollinate. Around half the fruit and vegetables in our supermarkets would disappear! Not only that, we would also lose the animals that eat these plants, and the animals that eat those animals! Some people are scared of bees, but there's rarely any need to be. Bees will sting in self-defence, but usually they don't disturb humans. Yet we need them. As far as important species are concerned, bees are at the top of the list - you really wouldn't want to live without them!

Bees evolved from wasps? *Evolution *

Bees evolved from wasps? *Evolution *
Most info is good, but from a Christian point a view I don’t believe in evolution or that the be evolved from a wasp. There is other good info, and funny pictures. It’s also wonderful to talk to Children about why we believe what we believe, that they will not evolve into a dragon or a unicorn. Lol 😂

Our girls are avid readers so this book was especially interesting to them. It had never occurred to them that books have not always been around. When we were done with this book, they wanted to learn how to make their own book, so we learned a bit about book binding from YouTube and off we went. These books are a great series and we are trying to add more to our library.

I love this book. It is kind of a lengthy book, but contains a lot of informative information. I purchased this as a gift for my niece so she could learn the importance of bees. She really liked it even though is might be a little much for a child just learning to read but it is also has a lot of nice helpful pictures.

This made it complicated for school ..
Grr frustration 🫤no Audible, no k-12 digital library book either and the library is called "Big Universe" its not listed there as well.. the split between Audible and Kindle is annoying. I HIGHLY recommend Audible since its completely compatible with Akexa in children's resourc
I recommend to the author that you share with K-12 stride academy. Aka k-12 public school both are international for students and aquire accredited reading 📚 from you. I pay school tax and pay for private school and now I am paying for this book ??? Really ?? I'm just saying 🤷
