Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

An award winning, enchanting, educational and uplifting children's non fiction book about the life cycle of the honey bee. Featuring 30 bee characters and 30 beautiful large colourful fun character illustrations over 58 pages in large print size 8.5 x 11". Characters from Eve the Egg; Luna the Larva; Pippa the Pupa; Clarabelle the Cleaner Bee; Pru the Propolis Bee; Honeydew Honey Bee; Gerrie the Guard Bee; Polly the Pollinator; Bluebell the Beeswax Bee, to Adam the Egg; Louis the Larva; Prince the Pupa; Duke the King Drone; Prospera the Princess Bee; Queenie the Queen Bee; Betty the Beekeeper and many more! Written in the first person, with a rhyming tone, each little honey bee character introduces themselves and tells the child a secret, which is a scientific fact about the job which they do in the beehive at a specific stage in their lifecycle. The book culminates into a beautiful poem incorporating each character with a background of silouettes.The Secrets of Hope the Honey Bee was the inspiration of Dr Gerry Brierley, a British beekeeper and an 'Accidental Apitherapist' who, after an encounter with blood sucking ticks in the Surrey Hills, contracted near fatal forms of tick borne infections, including Lyme Disease. Dr Gerry now lectures on the subject of Medicinal Apitherapy, including the therapeutic uses of bee venom. This book is not just a story about the honey bees; this book shows a struggle for survival and winning through in the face of immense adversity. Hope is the healing spirit of the honey bee who is sending a message to the world. As the title suggests, this book is about never ending 'Hope'.
