Earth’s Smallest Superheroes: Bees

Packed with science, this title is a celebration of these striped, fuzzy and busy insect superheroes that will introduce readers to the fascinating and complicated lives of bees. Using fantastic photos, 3D artwork and microscope imagery peer into the hidden worlds of honeybees, bumblebees and solitary bees.
