Charles Micucci's The Life and Times of the Honeybee (Ticknor & Fields, 1995) provides greater detail on honeybee behavior, but Cole's title is more tightly organized. Frizzle is as well developed and intriguing as ever. Clearly written and well organized, this new title presents accurate scientific information leavened with a touch of humor that is never condescending. Degen's colorful and amusing cartoons heighten the adventures. A plethora of pseudo school reports provide additional information on the topic.
The field trip ends with a bit of drama when a bear tries to raid the hive. They also have the opportunity to observe typical honeybee behavior. Garbed in bee costumes complete with antennae, and sprayed with the proper pheromones, the students are accepted by the workers and allowed to perform such chores as foraging for nectar and pollen, building honeycombs, making honey, and feeding larvae.
Frizzle! This time out she introduces her class to the insect kingdom via an excursion through a honeybee hive. Grade 1-4?Nobody can organize a field trip like the indomitable Ms.
