We have bees coming! Not to our house but to our church's youth ministry SOWERS. Kids in grades 1-6 learn about how awesome God is through His creation. Our lovely hive and colony were donated by our bee loving veterinarian and they arrive in a few short weeks!
Since we have never worked with bees before we have been doing lots of reading up about bees and their work. I have been reading blogs and researching books. It has been such a great time soaking in all the wonderful aspects of bees. So I want to share what I found.
The criteria for picture books were; fun to read, beautiful, realistic illustrations, and informative. Here are my favorites.
A sweet story about a child who learns about bees and how to extract honey.
Her Grandpa is the beeman.
These detailed illustrations are lovely, plus the writing is compelling and full of facts.
This great book is packed with info and wonderful pictures! Plus, with so much info this book is one I could read from over and over. Thanks to Small Things for sharing this one on her blog and inspiring me to look for more great bee books! There are also lots of other great books by the author that I look forward to checking out.
last on my picture book list is The Honey Makers. This book shows how bees and beekeepers work together throughout the year. I liked how they shared various interesting facts and different perspectives in the illustrations.
Other books I have read in preparation for our new friends are:
Plus some montessori Botany Materials I would love to get for the class.
I'm sure this is just a hint into whats out there. Let me know if you have any other sources we should check out!
