What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

Natural threats to bees, like wasps, winter, and mites, are discussed factually.

Sensitive Topics

The book addresses the natural life cycle of bees, which includes death (e.g., short lifespans of worker bees, drones being expelled in winter). This is approached from a secular, biological perspective, presented as a normal part of the hive's existence. The tone is matter of fact and not emotionally heavy. The overall message is about the continuation and health of the colony as a whole.
