The Hive Detectives: Chronicle of a Honey Bee Catastrophe (Scientists in the Field Series) Hardcover – Bargain Price, May 3, 2010

I have both of those author's bee books. Very educational and used with my 5th grade class. Appropriate material for all ages to learn about our amazing pollinators.

I myself purchased this book to share with my Grandchildren....being that it is a children's science book!! I found it insightful, well written, easy to understand, the photos were awesome!! I think anyone that is interested in science books for their kids or for a little science lesson for themselves ( we all know some of us could use it) and some splendid photography should get this book and read it and pass it on to the youngsters, great learning tool for schools also !!!! Totally worth the money I spent!!!!

non-fiction can be as good as fiction with the right writer. this book hits the target head on. Quote from my son: "why can't schoolbooks lay out history in a fun way? this book is so fun to read and my social studies book in school is so boring!"

Informative

Brilliant! This should be on every child's non-fiction shelf!

It offers more than information: it describes how scientists think and how they work in teams in order to test an hypothesis.

Great condition!

This book is written in an artistic and pretty way with great photos, and good bits of scientific information, however it made me want more, I felt it was too short. This would be a great book for a child.
