So instead of killing the bees to clean out his old garage, the beekeeper called in Mr. Nelson, an expert in honeybee rescue.<\/p>\n<p>The story shows the whole process with photographs and simple language.  The author explains how bees swarm and form a new hive when their old one is getting crowded.  Then they showed how Mr. Nelson used his gentle no-kill bee vacuum to remove the bees and then carefully use the honeycomb they&#8217;ve already made to put into frames for a new hive.<\/p>\n<p>Especially amazing is that Mr. Nelson doesn&#8217;t wear any protective gear when working with the bees.  He explains that if you&#8217;re gentle with bees, they&#8217;ll be gentle with you.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, along the way, the reader learns all kinds of information about bees and how they make honey.  The book is fascinating and beautiful and will leave kids curious about bees.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/loreeburns.com\/\">loreeburns.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellenharasimowicz.com\/\">ellenharasimowicz.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/\">charlesbridge.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1623542391\/sonderbooksco-20\" target=\"outside\">Buy from Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find this review on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\">Sonderbooks<\/a> at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\/Childrens_Nonfiction\/honeybee_rescue.html\">www.sonderbooks.com\/Childrens_Nonfiction\/honeybee_rescue.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: I am an Amazon Affiliate, and will earn a small percentage if you order a book on Amazon after clicking through from my site.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer:  I am a professional librarian, but the views expressed are solely my own, and in no way represent the official views of my employer or of any committee or group of which I am part.<\/p>\n<p>What did you think of this book?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honeybee Rescue A Backyard Drama by Loree Griffin Burns photographs by Ellen Harasimowicz Charlesbridge, 2022. 40 pages.
