The Case of the Vanishing Honeybees: A Scientific Mystery by Sandra Markle
5.0
I have to write a research paper for English class on a topic with two sides. I decided to do my paper on honeybees, more specifically Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) simply because I felt that not enough people care about this issue. CCD is a disorder when entire bee colonies die off for no apparent reason (though this book explores many of the things that MIGHT cause it).
My strong feelings for this topic aside, this book is going to be a valuable resource. It's very short and obviously written for someone who is much younger than I am, but it explains the basis of CCD easily and explains why it's such a problem. It also gives a background on how colonies work and how many different things can influence this issue. Because it's written for kids, it's really concise and to the point, which is what I needed. It also gives some pretty astonishing facts I didn't know about this crisis.
Recommend to those who want to know more about Colony Collapse Disorder and/or just want to learn about bees in general. Or those who are researching a possible topic for their papers. (hint hint wink wink).
