In a hive, a bee changes jobs several times over the course of its life. It starts as a cleaner, becomes a nurse, then a wax maker, then a guard, and only goes out to forage at the end.
Nina, a Life at the Heart of the Hive tells this story of progression. Nina is born in a wax cell and takes on, one after another, every role in the colony before her first flight among the flowers. As the seasons pass: collecting nectar, making honey, the birth of new bees, and a hive that thrives because everyone does their part.
Where Mélie the Bee tells the story of the outside world — foraging, dancing, hornets — this book tells the story of the inside: how the hive is organized.
What children will learn
- The jobs in the hive — cleaner, nurse, wax maker, guard, forager: an entire society.
- How honey is made — the real steps, from nectar to jar.
- Everyone does their part — a very concrete picture of teamwork.
