Blurb

Babysitting, cleaning, keeping watch - in a bee colony, everyone knows what they have to do! The furry buzzers are not only hard-working, but also really clever. But do all bees make honey? How do their wild relatives live? And what helps in the event of a sting?

Little sniffer noses
Bees have an even better sense of smell than dogs. That is why they are being considered for use as explosives sniffers.

Description

Bees

For one jar of honey, around 200 bees have to work their whole lives - with a unique division of labor: the queen rules a colony of drones, guards, cleaners and many more servants. But the use of pesticides and shrinking habitats are threatening these industrious insects. With impressive close-ups and amazing facts, we show what bees do and why they are so important for the preservation of the ecosystem. Readers enter a beehive and get to know the bee colony. They learn how the tasks are distributed, how honey is extracted and why the protection of bees is so important. Informational books for children aged 8 and up.

Are bumblebees also bees? How do bees recognize whether another bee also belongs to the colony? How does a bee become a queen? How can bees see? What do I do if I am stung by a bee? WAS IST WAS follows children's questions and provides answers at eye level. The topics can be introduced in many different ways. Whether via the expressive pictures, supplementary graphics or clever checker cards, WHAT IS WHAT is geared towards the reading behavior of children and provides concrete tips for joining in. This motivates them to become active, promotes empowerment and strengthens children's opinions.
