The Way of the Hive is a refresh of the earlier Jay Hosler work Clan Apis. This is the story of the life of a Honey Bee named Nyuki. The book blends a simple story telling Nyuki's life from a larvae to an adult bee and beyond with the science of honey bees and other species they encounter.
Readers will learn information like:
What happens at the various stages in the life of a bee?
How do bees communicate?
What is a swarm?
How dangerous even collecting pollen can be.
This graphic novel would be suitable for middle school through adult readers. The coloration of the story adds to the beauty of the original illustrations and really bring the book to life. I would recommend it to any teacher needing to help students understand insect life cycles or the web of life or to anyone who enjoys a good science read.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read a pre-release copy of this book.
