The Bee People By Margaret Warner Morley, 1904
In the book The Bee People, Margaret introduces children to the curious habits, activities, and home life of the bees. Written in a beautiful narrative style, the reader learns how the bees' wondrous body parts equip them to gather nectar and pollen, construct their hive, nurture their young, and how the different types of bees interact in the life of the hive.
