This book takes us into the honey-bee's world for a view of bees and their ways. The bee itself is a wonderful creature. It has within its body all the machinery it needs in order to do it many special jobs. A worker bee can turn nectar into honey, make wax, build perfect six-sided cells, air condition the hive, and do many other things. The bees of one hive work together with the efficiency of a perfectly organized society.
We depend on the honey-bee not only for the honey and wax it gives us, but also for the important work it does in pollinating the flowers of plants and trees.
The artist has worked, with visible success, to make his pictures as authentic as possible and scientific in their detail. The text is also scientifically accurate.
