Bees Are Our Friends by Toni D'Alia

Bees Are Our Friends invites readers into a stunning garden to admire the
hard work of one little bee. As the bee pollinates the garden, vibrant flowers
and ripe fruit and vegetables burst to life around her.
Down in the garden,
up high in a tree,
is a busy beehive . . .
and one little bee.
Written in irresistible rhyme by Toni D'Alia, and lavishly illustrated by Alice
Lindstrom, young readers will pore over this perfect introduction to these
essential insects.
