The Honeybee Man

Every morning, Fred climbs three flights of stairs–up to his rooftop in Brooklyn, New York–and greets the members of his enormous family: Good morning, my bees, my darlings! His honeybee workers are busy–they tend the hive, feed babies, and make wax rooms. They also forage in flowers abloom across Brooklyn … so that, one day, Fred can make his famous honey, something the entire neighborhood looks forward to tasting. Lela Nargi’s beautifully written story–accompanied by Kyrsten Brooker’s collage-style illustrations–offers an inside look at the life of an endearing beekeeper and the honey-making process.
