Honey Hummingbird Meets the Honey Bees

Honey Hummingbird is a curious little bird. One day when she is drinking sweet nectar from flowers in the garden, she is surprised when a honeybee flies out of a flower! Together Honey and her new friend, Bumbles, fly all around the garden. They talk to Honey’s mama and learn about pollination, and Honey discovers that she is helping by carrying pollen from flower to flower and from plant to plant—a very important task. She goes with Bumbles to the beehive, where she visits the queen mother bee and sees the honeycomb and all the baby bees. And then she meets up with Sally Swallowtail, a butterfly, and her younger brother Markus, who is a caterpillar. All of the creatures of the garden are helping to keep the plants and each other healthy. In this children’s story, a hummingbird makes a new friend, and together they go around the garden and learn about pollination and the importance of honeybees.
