Everyone is buzzing about bees! Urban beekeeping is on the rise as swarms of people do their part to help nurture local food systems, make gardens more productive, connect with nature, and rescue honey bee populations from colony collapse disorder. Honey bee hives now grace the White House Lawn, the roof of Chicago City Hall, the National Arboretum, and the top of the Fairmont Hotel. Even Hagen-Daazs has gotten into the act with its well-funded campaign, Help the Honey Bees.
Biscuit is walking to Grandpa's house, and he's having such a good time that he doesn't want the walk to end. But the little puppy knows that the only thing better than a walk to Grandpa's house is a visit with Grandpa himself!
The youngest of readers are sure to enjoy strolling with Biscuit through this charming, easy-to-read adventure.
