A Bit About Izzie Lizzie - The Busiest Bee Around

'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.)
