The Bossy Queen and the Wise Beekeeper

By Janet Bastien

What happens when a leader becomes bossy... and a little bee feels worried?

This beautifully illustrated Christian book helps children ages 4-7 explore emotional safety, worry, ("Beeware" sensors), kindness, and healthy relationships through a gentle story about a stressed queen bee and a wise beekeeper who always listens.

Something isn't right in the hive. Daddy Bee used to love his work, but lately he comes home discouraged. The reason? Queeny Bee's bossy behavior is making life miserable for everyone.

Young Bobby Bee can't ignore what he sees. Determined to help, he sets out to find answers-an adventure that leads him to the Wise Beekeeper, who understands the hive in ways the bees cannot. But can one small bee change a queen's heart?

Join Bobby Bee on a hopeful journey of courage, kindness, and a surprising awakening that could bring harmony back to the hive. Because sometimes the bravest thing a small bee can do...is speak up.
