Spring and summer means lots of insects and bugs- especially bees! We see them busily buzzing around almost every day during the spring and summer months which leads to lots of questions from my curious kiddos. We often observe them outside and hypothesize about what they are doing and read books about bees as well.

Some of our favorite children’s books about bees:

The Honey Makers by Gail Gibbons

UnBEElievables by Douglas Florian

The bee crafts in this collection are perfect to do during this time of year. Many make great extension activities to children’s books about bees or insects.
