Honey bees collect pollen and nectar from hundreds of flowers a day. This helps flowers spread pollen to each other to make new seeds. Discover how bees go back to their hives and use the pollen and nectar to create sweet honey!
'This Blastoff! Readers: World of Insects series title describes in clear language the physical characteristics of honeybees and how the bees pollinate flowers and drink nectar to make honey. Although there are only a few sentences on each page, this text is more difficult because of the bee- specific terminology and use of multisyllabic words. The bright, close-up photographs, with labels that match the bolded words in the text, offer some extra support for the reader.', Dr. Sunday Cummins, Booklist
