Bees are best known for pollinating plants and making honey, but did you know that not all bees make honey? There are 20,000 species of bees, and only a few of those bees are honeybees.

In this nonfiction picture book, kids get to meet some of the other, less well-known bees, while also learning about insect identification. It’s time learn what makes a bee a bee and discover the bees that live in your own backyard! For fans of Honeybee: The Busy Life of Apis Mellifera and Give Bees a Chance.
