Customer Reviews

time we found out how critical bees are in our ecosystem

The lives of bees is complicated and intricate. This book gives clear explanations and helpful photos. It is organized so that one piece of knowledge creates a foundation for the next pieces. From reading this book once, I could tell another person a lot about bees. Good text for bi-lingual science classes, Spanish speakers, and students in intermediate Spanish classes.
