Bees are probably one of the first bugs that kids recognize. With their large size and loud buzzing, they are kind of hard to miss. The fear of being stung is also present from a very young age, even if you have never been stung by anything. Because of this, bees are often high on the list of childhood fears. The sad part is that bees are struggling for survival, and the loss of their population will mean devastating things to our lives and our environment. So I decided to gather a list of children’s books about bees to teach kids about the importance of bees and the work that they do. Hopefully with a little education, we can change some minds about bees and save them!
