The Life And Times Of The Honeybee by Charles Micucci, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Why do beekeepers use smoke machines when collecting honey? Can a bee really sting only once? Why do bees dance"? In concise, detailed text and abundant illustrations that range from the humorous to the scientific, Charles Micucci offers a wide-ranging and spirited introduction to the life cycle, social organization, and history of one of the world's most useful insects. He includes information on how bees make honey, what a beekeeper does, and products that contain beeswax - everything fromlipstick to waxes for buffing surfboards. Micucci's rare gift for making science enjoyable and accessible is again revealed in this remarkably witty, rich salute to the honeybee." | The Life And Times Of The Honeybee by Charles Micucci, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
