A closer look at the many lives of bees

Bees are presented here as a varied group, from familiar honeybees to diggers, leafcutters, and vulture bees. The book connects their distinctive ways of seeing and communicating with their role in pollination, placing these details within a broader picture of how plants and the wider world depend on them. As the opening volume in an illustrated STE(A)M series devoted to single subjects, it gives bees the space for a focused exploration, with collaboration from the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Botanic Garden.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children interested in insects and animal nonfiction
  • Young readers curious about pollination, plant life, and how bees communicate
  • Families or classrooms exploring illustrated STE(A)M topics

Book overview

Dive into the hive to uncover the intriguing and hidden lives of bees in this first title of a new beautifully illustrated nonfiction series.


Bees are incredible! There are so many different kinds found all over the world, from honeybees to diggers, leafcutters, and even meat-eating vulture bees.

Discover how a bee's eyes see the world in a unique way, how bees pollinate plants, how they communicate with a waggle dance, and how without bees, the world would be a very different (and much less wonderful) place.

  • The first in a new series of illustrated single-subject STE(A)M books for children aged 7-10, exploring some of the universe's most fascinating subjects. Published in collaboration with the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Botanic Garden.
