​
I'm delighted to have had the opportunity to provide the illustrations for this new fun and educational book for children about a honey bee, working with bee expert and publisher, Valerie Rhenius.
​
An exciting project creating a children's book about a honey bee's adventures across the countryside in search of food - this is a unique and special book with beautiful illustrations individually hand-painted in watercolour, produced in celebration of the National Honey Shows' centenary in October 2023.
'As do many, many honey bees across the country and the world, Izzie flies over a three or four mile radius from her hive in search of nectar, pollen and water.
​
Her continual, tireless foraging not only builds up a healthy hive with stores of honey to share with you, as she dusts the plants she visits with pollen, she increases crops of flowers, fruit and vegetables worldwide.
​
This book is dedicated to all the honey bees, the miles travelled and plants pollinated in bringing you the teaspoonful of honey for your breakfast toast.' (Valerie Rhenius.)
