Buzz about Bees is a 2013 non-fiction book for ages 7+ by Kari-Lynn Winters, published by Fitzhenry & Whiteside. An award-winning entry in the publisher's nature series, following Lowdown on Earthworms, it introduces children to concepts of endangered species, the unique role bees play in the ecosystem, and their relationship with humans.
Imagine a world without bees. Not only would it be less colourful — with fewer wildflowers and flowering plants — it would be less fruitful as well. A world without bees would mean a world where the food supply would be significantly diminished. Global bee researcher Laurence Packer estimates that bees are responsible for 1/3 of our food supply.
Accompanying information about the history, social structure and science behind the world of bees and honey are conservation activities to make the world a place where hives of bees can thrive.
