Begin with a Bee
Liza Ketchum, Jacqueline Briggs Martin, Phyllis Root
This informational picture book follows the life cycle of a rusty-patched bumblebee queen. Beginning as she waits through winter underground, it asks and answers questions about her activities, habitat, and the eggs she lays. The account moves through spring, summer, and fall before returning to winter, when a new queen hibernates with what she needs to begin a colony. Scratchboard illustrations portray bees realistically within their natural surroundings.
