K-3Animal Builders series.
Illustrated by
Romina Martí.
Raum describes a honeybee swarm leaving a crowded hive to find a new home. The text is engaging but occasionally anthropomorphic; cartoony illustrations show how bees build, populate, and protect their hive, but a photo would help readers understand hive complexity. A habitat map and a hive-building activity are included. Also available in Spanish. Reading list, websites. Glos.
