The narrator's grandpa, also known as "the Beeman," carefully tends his backyard hives, the denizens of which readers meet throughout the course of the story. The text's verse follows a House-That-Jack-Built rhythm. Extensive back matter describes in detail the information introduced more generally in the main text. Cheerful acrylic illustrations provide additional energy and help demonstrate the story's facts.
