A Short History Of The Honey Bee
There are around 16,000 species of bee. Only seven of these are responsible for creating the world's sweetest treat - honey. This title starts with the story of the honey bee - why it is named Apis mellifera, how it has evolved from a solitary creature to one that travels in groups, why it stings, and how pollination really works.
