Discover more about our fuzzy little insect friends with award-winning author and illustrator Charlotte Milner. 

The perfect introduction to bee conservation for little ones. Learn all about the beautiful world of bees and their adventure from flower to flower. You'll find out just how much they matter, why they are declining, and what we can do to help in this adorable kids' book. 


Bees are brilliant at building, super social creatures and along with other insects, are responsible for a third of every mouthful of food you eat! Children will be fascinated by the beautiful pictures and learn plenty of buzz-worthy fun facts in every chapter, covering types of bees, beehives, beekeeping, how they pollinate plants and make honey.

A beautiful kid’s educational book about bees with a crucial message: not only does it inform and educate about an issue that is a real threat, but it also delivers it in a way that is gripping for all ages. 

A dazzling celebration of bees, packaged in a gorgeous hard-backed book made with high-quality paper and spectacular illustrations.

What’s The Buzz About Honey Bees?

Meet the humble honeybee face-to-face - an animal that is considered nature's hardest worker, in this engaging, educational kids’ book that you can treasure forever.

What do they do all day? Why are bees important? Find out why they need our help and what you can do. 

Bees are responsible for so much more than making honey. This book is an essential tool in encouraging the protection of our precious buzzing friends for generations to come.

Learn all about these valuable creatures:

- What happens in the hive
- What pollination is
- Who the queen is
- How honeybees talk to each other
- How we can help them and much, much more!

This adorable book is one of three children's books on conservation by award-winning author Charlotte Milner and includes The Sea Book and The Bat Book for your little ones to enjoy.
