Books about Bees for Kids with free printable
The other day, my eight-year-old and I were out in the garden, and there were bumble bees buzzing all around us. We started talking about bees and why we need them. So obviously, being the bookish homeschooling mom that I am, we went straight for the bee books when we came inside. I gathered up a list of our favorite books about bees for you and your kids, plus a free life cycle of a honey bee printable set that you can download below!
