Introduced by Lion Regina Budet
In World of Honey Bees, we'll explore the fascinating lives of honey bees and discover why these tiny insects have such an enormous impact on our food supply. Together we'll meet the queen, workers, and drones, follow nectar's journey from flower to honey jar, and uncover the remarkable organization that keeps a colony thriving.
Whether you're curious about bees, interested in gardening, or simply love honey, you'll leave with a deeper appreciation for one of nature's most extraordinary communities.
