As the father of an eight year old who is not particularly interested in science, I am always looking for science themed books that will capture my son's attention. Honeybees is just such a book. My son (and my daughter and I) found the story of the honeybee's life to be intriguing. Their society is truly fascinating. Heiligman's text is well written and informative. Carla Golembe's colorful illustrations are exquisite, imaginative and accurate at the same time. A most impressive accomplishment.

We are big fans of the entire Jump into Science series - we have almost all of them and the quality and interest-level of honeybees is excellent, and on par with the rest - highly recommended! My 5-year old son likes to put up his arms and pretend to be a guard bee - and he calls some of the other bees he sees outside "robber bees" it's awesome.
