The Way of the Hive: A Honey Bee's Story

Good artwork , good story. A bit funny. Factual too.

Jay Hosler nous propose une présentation de la société des abeilles qui est à la fois scientifiquement précise et approfondie, et abordable, plaisante, et même extrêmement séduisante. C'est normal, puisqu'il est à la fois spécialiste des insectes en général et des abeilles en particulier, et de la présentation de ces sujets en bande dessinée. Ce livre peut être vraiment mis entre toutes les mains curieuses de ce sujet. On peut recommander en général toutes les bandes dessinées de Jay Hosler, mais celle-ci est spécialement bien réussie : un beau dessin, très lisible, très lumineux, au service d'un contenu scientifique conséquent. L'ouvrage ne semble exister qu'en anglais. Cela peut constituer un obstacle, mais ça peut aussi être l'occasion de s'y replonger. À noter que d'autres bandes dessinées de Jay Hosler ont été traduites en français.

My 10 year old son borrowed this graphic novel from the school library last week and read it 5 times. He was reading it again in bed this morning so I asked to keep it home so I could read it over coffee. Y’all!!! Please go get this book. I cried, I laughed, and I learned SO much. This story beautifully explains the important jobs bee have and also speaks about change in such a graceful way that I think we all can benefit from it at one point in our lives. I can see why my son loved it! It is now a favorite of mine as well. The author does an amazing job engaging the reader, sharing amazing facts, and making learning fun. I’ve already purchased a copy for the home and this book will be the birthday gift of the year. Now off to purchase his other books!

This is just the hard back/ color edition of "Apis."I thought it would be a different story because of the *different title.* One star deleted because of that!The book is a 5 star book to be sure, but still, a book I wouldn't have bought TWICE as we already owned APIS.caveat emptor.

This graphic novel is wonderful! It is engaging and so informative. My 9 year old and I were both totally hooked. It would be an amazing resource to build a project unit around. There is so much in the book: origin of the universe/world/life mythology, maths, a ton of biology, circle of life, and so much about bees (of course)! I could see this being great for middle school and high schoolers. Highly recommended!

I can't say enough about this extraordinary book. Bought it for my bee-hating, bee-phobic 11 year old and by the end of the book, a space had opened in her heart to feel kindness and gentleness toward them. This book presents science info in a highly readable, character-driven form with brilliant illustrations. A keeper and a great book for gifting as well.
