Honey Bee Haven

A classic early reader for Steiner-Waldorf schools to teach children about the important life of the honey bee on a farm.

Beekeeper Bruce rescues a swarm of bees and gives them a home on a small farm. He introduces the bees and helps children understand more about them, allowing them to overcome their fear of insects and encouraging them to love these tiny creatures. The book travels through the seasons on the farm with the rich watercolour illustrations. As children see how the bees live and work together in harmony – in the hive to make honey and in the fields to pollinate many types of flowers and vegetables – they discover that the honeybee is one of the farmer's best friends.
