Hey readers,
Bees are great! They’re pollinators, which means they help grow the fruit and vegetables we eat, and some even make honey! If you love bees as much as we do, check out the book Please Please the Bees by Gerald Kelly.
This book is about a bear named Benedict who wakes up one day to find that his favourite snack (honey!) is missing from his jar. It turns out, the bees who make Benedict’s honey have gone on strike!
Benedict must now try and please the bees so they’ll fill his honey jars again. How? You’ll have to check out this book to find out!
This book has some great facts about honeybees and tips about how we can help them.
If you end up reading this book, leave a comment telling us what you think!
Bye for now!
