Hive Detectives: Chronicle of a Honey Bee Catastrophe
Loree Griffin Burns
Without honey bees, the world would be a different place. There would be no honey, no beeswax for candles, and, worst of all, barely a fruit, nut, or vegetable to eat. So imagine the beekeeper Dave Hackenburg’s horror when he discovered twenty million of his charges had vanished. In The Hive Detectives, Loree Griffin Burns profiles bee wranglers and bee scientists who have been working to understand colony collapse disorder, or CCD. In this dramatic and enlightening story, readers explore the lives of the fuzzy, buzzy insects and learn what might happen to us if they were gone. AGES: 10 up AUTHOR: Loree Griffin Burns, Ph.D., was stung five times while researching this book: once by accident and four times while trying to capture an image.
