    The book I selected is called Horsefly and Honeybee, which is a fiction book written by Randy Cecil.This book is about a horsefly and a honey bee who fought over a flower and each lost a wing. Because they could no longer fly they were captured by a bullfrog and soon to be eaten. But, they decided to work together and use the remaining wings they had to fly away. By doing so, they escaped, became friends, and shared the flower. This book is at the instructional level for the majority of the class and is for ages four to eight and grades pre-k to third. However for a handful of students, who i’ve noticed are at a higher reading level than the rest of the class, this book would be somewhat simpler. But, the moral gained from the story is something…

    They consist of over 98% of the colony's population. Although the worker bees they never mate, the workers possess organs necessary for carrying out the many duties essential to the colony. They have a longer tongue than the queen and drones to help them suck pollen from flowers. Their stomachs are something else. A worker be can eat nectar and have it in her and then turns in into honey. An average hard working bee will make up to 1/12 of a teaspoon in its entire life time. Her legs also have pollen baskets on their legs to transport the pollen to the hive. The kind of work performed by the worker depends largely upon her age. The first three weeks of her adult life, during which she is referred to as a house bee, she is devoted to stay within the hive so that her wings can dry out and grow strong so that she can then leave the hive to find pollen (stone). The male bee is called a drone, drones only have one purpose and is the only male bee in the colony. The drone population is very slim, drones may only number in the hundreds even when the colony is doing its best. Drones are the only males in the colony and are not self-reliant and must be feed and cared for by the worker bees. He is allowed to remain in the hive only because he is needed to mate with a new virgin queen when the old queen dies. When the queen is about one week old that is when she fly’s up 200 to 300 feet in the air to mate.…

    Save the Bees! For many people, seeing any insect with a stinger invokes foul memories of being tormented by a menacing bee, wasp, or hornet. Many victims might recall a moment of sudden panic while sitting on the edge of the pool on a warm summer day; they suddenly hear an incessant buzzing noise and look down to see a tiny yellow and black bumblebee flying dangerously close to their skin. There is no time to discern the intent of this bee, be it malevolent or benign. Immediately, the primeval “fight or flight” instinct triggers and many people will either swat at the bee or flee the scene.…

    As humans, we tend to believe we are far superior to all other creatures, that we have nothing in common with anything thought of as ‘below us’. We are very wrong in thinking that. In the novel the Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, it is proven that though we do have differences, we are not so different from such a ‘simple’ creature as the bee. In the novel, Kidd compares a bee community, meaning their hives, to a human community, which could mean something as big as a town or city, or something as small as a family. She makes the reader realize that we are similar to bees in the way we treat life and crave love from others. She also, however, shows us how we differentiate in little ways like being able to replace a leader and the ability to hate. By comparing the two different communities, Kidd helps us understand the workings of life itself.…
