Summary
Honeybees are a crucial part of our food chain. As they gather nectar from flowers to make sweet honey, these bees also play an important role in pollination, helping some plants produce fruit. But large numbers of honeybees are disappearing every year...and no one knows why. Is a fungus killing them? Could a poor diet be the cause? What about changes to bees' natural habitat? In this real-life science mystery, scientists and beekeepers are working to answer these questions...and save the world's honeybees before it's too late.

Critic reviews
"In all, a solid addition to the insect shelves, with a valuable emphasis on science as process." (Kirkus Reviews)
"This brief but superbly organized title explores the sudden disappearance of worker bees during the mid 2000s.... Notes on rescue organizations, index, glossary, reading list, and miscellaneous facts round out the title, which stands as fine example of science writing for newbie science readers - and teachers extending their use of trade books under Common Core." (The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books)
"An excellent first purchase for reports as well as for general interest." (School Library Journal)
