Volume IV Number 19 . . . . Review by Luella Sumner. They also wear a bread-rimmed hat with a veil that keeps bees from landing on their face or in their hair, mouth, or ears. The beekeepers in the picture are well protected. Every part of their body is covered so bees cannot sting them.

When they become angry, they look for someone or something to sting. This book, one of a series of four titles describing various types of farming, takes the young reader on a tour of a bee farm. The color illustrations, both photographs and explanatory drawings, provide more information on every page. The attractiveness of the pages is further enhanced by the imaginative little drawings of busy bees buzzing up and down the borders. Vocabulary words are printed in bold type, and there is a glossary and an index on the last page.
