About this ebook
How do bees count? The bees at the Busy Bee Farm buzz through the sky as one big swarm, fly over two waving dandelions, find three wild strawberries dripping tasty nectar… As the children in Mr. Tate’s class listen, they learn how bees work to produce honey and make food and flowers grow. Bees count—they’re important to us all. Alison Formento’s gentle message is illustrated with Sarah Snow’s bright, realistic papercuts.

Mr. Tate's class, originally introduced in This Tree Counts (2010), is back. This time, they're taking a field trip to Busy Bee Farm, where Farmer Ellen introduces them to the world of beekeeping. As they tour the farm and dress in protective suits to get close to the apiaries, Farmer Ellen explains how beneficial bees are as they pollenate a wide variety of plants and crops. She also encourages the multi-ethnic group of children to really watch the bees and listen carefully, and as the children listen, they hear counting within the buzz of the bees-- TWO waving dandelions, THREE wild strawberries, FOUR apple blossoms, etc. The counting is rather incongruous with the rest of the story, but it does broaden the book's appeal to both teachers looking for number books and teachers wanting to supplement a science lesson. The author's note at the end is probably too detailed for the younger audiences towards whom the book seems to be aimed, but it gives teachers and parents abundant information about bees (including the recent outbreaks of colony collapse disorder) that they can share with students. Overall, an engaging introduction to the importance of honeybees, with a little counting thrown in for good measure.
