Some people fear their sting and others covet their honey, but everyone benefits from the busy bee. The pollen they gather from flowers helps pollinate the crops we depend on for everything from coffee to avocados, and sweeten our lives with the fruits of their hard work. Colorful paper collage illustrations fill the pages of this sweet look at one of nature's most important creatures. Side by side text in Afaan Oromo and English supports emerging bilingual readers.
