Books about Bees for Kids

April 12, 2019 by Mommy Evolution Leave a Comment

Buzz buzz! It’s time to read these fun and educational books about bees for kids.

Isn’t it funny how kids can love reading about bees or dressing up as bees but are often terrified of seeing a bee in real life?

Personally, I love seeing a fat, happy bumblebee humming around my flowers in the summer.

In addition to recommending books about bees for kids, I’ve teamed up with some fellow bloggers to offer you homeschool and classroom resources to teach kids about bees! 

You can find these books at your local library or purchase through the affiliate links provided for your convenience.

In concise, detailed text and abundant illustrations that range from the humorous to the scientific, Charles Micucci offers a wide-ranging and spirited introduction to the life cycle, social organization, and history of one of the world’s most useful insects.

Lela Nargi’s beautifully written story—accompanied by Kyrsten Brooker’s collage-style illustrations—offers an inside look at the life of an endearing beekeeper and the honey-making process.

Every morning, Fred climbs three flights of stairs—up to his rooftop in Brooklyn, New York—and greets the members of his enormous family: “Good morning, my bees, my darlings!” His honeybee workers are busy—they tend the hive, feed babies, and make wax rooms. They also forage in flowers abloom across Brooklyn… so that, one day, Fred can make his famous honey, something the entire neighborhood looks forward to tasting.

With detailed illustrations and diagrams, Gail Gibbons offers a classroom-ready nonfiction picture book that makes complex scientific concepts understandable and entertaining for young readers.
