This book has a lot of interesting facts about bees.

[Kristen Leininger]

Informational Book: This book contained vibrant pictures and was easy to follow. It was very interesting; I was engrossed in it. I learned that the worker bees are female. After the male bees mate with the queen bee, they die.
