The Life and Times of the Honeybee

So informational and great pictures. Very happy with this purchase

First, why did I never learn ants live for over 20 years? I'm not okay with that. But, this books Is pretty great if you've got an insect or ant lover in your house. My son is only two so I dont read all of the information on each page but a little bit each. He has autism so he prefers the realistic pictures, which I greatly appreciate this book for having. And the detailed images. Well worth it.

I enjoyed all of this big load of ant in information. What I didn't like though that I was not always able to make the area(s) that wished to read to pop up to make the font info easier to re read though. But Lord willing I wish to keep this in my Kindle library for in no as I am writing perhaps a series for children using ants as characters in a Christian an adventure story series. But because this eBook is loaded for bear of info this is why I have given this 5***** & wish to recommend this to kids on up that just may be curious too about these social insects. I received this book for free and in return, here is my honest review. Great research work!By Sunny.

I bought this for my 4 year old son because he wanted to learn more about bees. The book is good but I was hoping it would read more like a story with bee facts but it’s more of just a fact book. Very detailed which is good just not a good book to read your kids

Children will luv this, and it's entertaining even for adults too! The one on BEES is another fav (but be sure Amazon hasn't confused the BEE book and the picture of another book's cover?)

I got this along with a gel ant farm (lighted) for my son's 8th birthday. He was skeptical of the farm and the book. But I started reading it to him as we drove home from his birthday dinner at KFC. All of my children (4 at that moment), my aunt and my husband all found the details of the book fascinating. We all learned a lot. And now when we see ants, we can give details we read in this book. It is packed full of information, and without the divisions of photos and straight facts, it would have been boring. But, it is interesting as the artist successfully created art to keep the flow of text moving along. Who knew ants could be so interesting.Thanks to the seller for shipping quickly too! :)

The illustrations and format of "The Life and Times of the Ant" signal that it is a book for children, so I was a little worried about how my 13 year old grandson would react to it as a gift. On the other hand, I could tell him that as a Biologist, I was delighted with the book and learned a lot from it--or at least I was reminded of many things that had become hazy since my student days. He does like the book.I think the text is simplified, and the vocabulary is controlled to accommodate younger readers, but in my opinion that turns out to be a plus for an adult reader who just wants to enjoy knowing more about the natural world. The writing does not proffer childish attitudes toward nature or an attempt to make things "cute." Though engaging, it does not insult the intelligence and seriousness of either adults or children.

I was looking for a little book about honey bees as another visual for a presentation I was doing. This one was not only a pretty quick and easy read, but full of wonderful information. For anyone looking to learn about honey bees, this is a great start. Easy enough for kids to understand with beautiful pictures, but informative enough for adults as well. (I'm big on people learning the difference between honey bees and wasps, I think this book is great tool for learning how to identify bees and why they are so important.)

My 10-year old daughter loves bees, and I wanted to give her a general knowledge book on the subject that also captured the magic of this animal. This book does exactly that, with charming words and pictures, and my daughter has avidly read it by herself, and has also been reading passages of it out loud to me. The pictures help to make it all come alive!

Bought for my 8 year old as he is interested in helping me keep bees. The illustrations are a good mix of factual drawings and cartoon type drawings. The information set at the right level for children to keep their interest.

Beautifully illustrated and informative. I learned from this book, but it is not too "heavy" for my grandchildren (7, 5 and 3). Really inspiring for our next educational project.

Much smaller and thinner than I expected

Quirky book about bees! Lovely drawings and not too complex, my six year old loved it
