A Hive for the Honeybee

(2) YA Illustrated by Patience Brewster. Thora is a dedicated female worker bee who performs her duties without question--until the rebellious thinker Mo suggests there is more to life than endless labor. Lally raises many questions here, addressing sexism, classism, government, religion, and the value of art and of labor. Illustrations of spindly-legged bees with human features further reveal individual personalities, and lively dialogue brings the hive to life.
