About the Book

One day, Little Bee’s life changes forever when a new flower friend sparks a plan to spread blooms far and wide—discovering the magic of pollination along the way. In this playful, gently rhyming story, fancy blends with fact to teach young readers about the real-life marvels of our natural world and the bees that fill it. 

With whimsical illustrations by Katie Hunt, Little Bee and the Bloom engages children’s curiosity while showing how bees impact the foods we eat and the health of our environment. Complete with important “Key Bee Terms” and simple tips for helping pollinators, this debut picture book from Carly Kremer—founder of Beekeeper’s Naturals—is a charming celebration of food, friendship, and the wonders of nature.
