The Bee People

Description

Enter a hive that feels like a little commonwealth. Morley shows how workers gather nectar and pollen, strain and store it, and glue and build with a wisdom beyond their size. She explains why drones don’t work—and what happens to them before winter—then traces the queen’s quiet labor, from egg-laying to the drama of new queens and swarms. Along the way, lively scenes—bee gums and skeps, morning-glories dusting visitors with pollen, guards at the door—keep science delightfully concrete.
Readers gain more than bee facts: they practise attention, build clear language for what they notice, and grow in patience, prudence, and gratitude for the ordered work that sustains a thriving home.
