Summary: Wonderful, mysterious
Comment: I found this book extremely disturbing, though very good. After I finished reading it, I went back through it again and saw that everything that Daisy said was a prophecy. This really got me thinking- Do workers really drive the drones out of the hive when they're not needed anymore? Belle's death was terribly sad, and even more sad to me is the "lot" that worker bees have- Before reading this book, I always considered worker bees lucky because they seemed to run everything. I never realized what a mess the drones make. I recommend this book to people with an understanding of nature, life and death, philosophy, and love. Younger readers would probably have a difficult time understanding the nature of this book's purpose. All in all, it was an excellent book, full of feeling.

Summary: not just for children
Comment: I read this book in 6th grade and gained an immediate new perspective on life. A Hive for the Honeybees may be a quick read but it is beautifully written and very deep. I adore this book and recommend it to people of all ages. Expect to cry a bit though.

Summary: BZZZZ! Simple on the surface...
Comment: I just finished A Hive for the Honeybee during my lunch hour and couldn't wait to encourage both adults and teens to read it. There are rich poetic levels here - a simple story about the life of a worker bee which is a pleasure in and of itself - but this honey-sweet story masks a haunting, unflinching yet not heavy-handed look at stereotypes and society. I imagine teens who've lived through both Animal Farm and Antz will love it.
I cried a bucket over bees!
Now I have to pull myself together and get back on the reference desk!
