Bees produce honey as part of a connected cycle involving many other living things. Dandelions, ladybugs, and additional plants and animals all appear in the network that makes honey possible. Colorful, detailed illustrations show these relationships, placing bees within a wider natural system rather than treating honey production as the work of one creature alone.
