It is the story, told in most fascinating style, of the honey bee, 

 how it is born, how it lives, how it gathers honey, and all about it, 

 not omitting its sting. The bee is credited with powers of reasoning, 

 and the troubles of the queen bee in retaining her throne are set forth 

 in a delightfully fairy-story-like way which will win every child that 

 reads it. — The Times, Philadelphia. 



Probably no branch of natural history is more interesting than the 

 bee people, and when told by an appreciative student is doubly so. 

 Miss Morley carries out the human idea suggested in the title ; and 

 the worker, the drone, the queen, and all the inmates of a hive are 

 given a life-like personality. Many illustrations aid in telling the 

 story, and many wonderful things concerning the habits of these little 

 people are constantly revealed. — The Detroit News Tribune. 



A book for children, telling them, in a simple and attractive and 

 scientifically correct way, all about the bees, their life and ceaseless 

 industry. A chapter on flowers forms an appropriate introduction. 

 — New York Mail and Express. 



The chapter on bees in the Fairyland of Science has been con- 

 sidered one of the best and most interesting brief accounts of the 

 doings of this marvellous people ; but now the younger children can 

 find the story told with even greater fulness of detail and with quite 

 as much animation in this charming and unique book by Miss Morley.
