Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

An engaging introduction to the wide world of wild bees Say the word "bee," and most kids think of honeybees or bumblebees. But there are around 20,000 discovered species of bees--and most of these are wild, solitary bees that don't live in hives. Readers will discover fascinating facts about these lesser-known bee species, from mason bees and mining bees to leafcutter bees and vulture bees. Using clear, concise language and plenty of fun word play, this introduction to wild bees describes their life cycles, habitats, and behaviors ... some of which are weirder than others! It also explains the importance of wild solitary bees to many ecosystems, the challenges these bees face, and the things we can do to be part of the solution. Vibrant, detailed illustrations created with pencil, crayon, and watercolor provide close-up views that are buzzing with life. Full of fun facts, The Buzz on Wild Bees invites readers to celebrate and protect all the world's bees.
