I could not love these stories more. My kids ask everyday if we can read more "Bee" stories. Kids learn a great deal through stories, and these are a wonderful catalyst for moral training. It is hard to find books like these anymore. 5 stars!

This is an excellent book which illustrates in vivid reality the consequences of their actions. I just finished reading this to my 6 and 8 year old sons. They are begging for the next book, Another Hive of Busy Bees. One caution: a story in the book refers to African children as "brownies". I took this opportunity to explain how times change and to impress on my boys the importance of being respectful to all people.
