The second title of a new non-fiction series, Follow My Food, aiming to help children understand and appreciate where their food comes from, and to be more environmentally aware.
A girl follows Polly the worker bee collecting pollen and nectar from various flowers, and bringing it back to the hive where it is stored in the honeycomb. We meet the queen bee and the drones, and finally see honey being harvested and enjoyed.
Polly is shown in a relatable way, but the book is packed with information presented simply in consultation with a bee expert. There are a quiz and fun facts at the end, to challenge both young children and their parents to find out more about bees.
