Description: Bees don't just produce honey. Your food supply depends on them. Apiarist Dave Hackenberg's bees have a busy travel schedule, pollinating around the United States from February to July. So when Dave inspected four hundred of his hives and found that the bees had simply vanished, a dream team of bee scientists got to work.

In this book, readers explore the lives of the fuzzy, buzzy insects and learn what might happen to us if they were gone.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 65) and index.
