On a field trip to Farmer Ellen’s Busy Bee Farm, Mr. Tate's class, after donning protective gear, learns how bees collect pollen and nectar, what they do in their beehives, and how honey is extracted. In the midst of this narrative, the children extract a rather gratuitous counting lesson from the bees buzzing through the farm. Bright collage-style illustrations suit the mood well.
