While men rocket into space to explore new worlds, most of us fail to notice the amazing worlds of nature all around us here on earth. These small worlds are not barren, airless worlds like the moon. Instead, they teem with millions of inhabitants, many of them living in cities with populations as large as those man has made.
One such city exists in a white oak tree in Clover Meadow. It is a thriving beehive, Bee City. Bee City is a strange place. A queen rules over it. Most of the time only females live in it. Instead of concrete, stone, wood or steel, its buildings consist of wax.
Have you ever wondered what life would be like in a beehive or a bee nest? What adventures would fill your days? You can find out as you follow the daily life of Bessie Bee, one of the citizens of this unusual city. You will learn what jobs bees do, how they make wax and honey, how they keep the honey from spoiling, and how they tell each other things through special dances.
Bee life is more than hard work. It has moments of excitement and high drama. A bear attacks for honey.
Disease threatens. And an enemy, the wax moth sneaks in to lay its eggs.
Irene Lefler, a nurse in Pontiac, Michigan, describes the life of Bessie Bee in a way that will fascinate you.
