Buzz into adventure with Bella Brown!
When Bella runs screaming from a bee in Grandma Yetta's garden, she never imagines the amazing journey waiting for her. One day later, she's standing at the gates of Sunny Meadows Bee Farm, clutching Grandma's hand and wondering if she's made a terrible mistake.
Will Bella overcome her fear of these buzzing creatures? Can she discover that sometimes the things that scare us most hold the greatest wonders?
Join Bella as she meets Farmer Joe and steps into the secret world of bees. Through colorful observation hives and fragrant flower gardens, Bella uncovers incredible bee facts that will amaze young readers: Did you know bees have five eyes?
