From Flower to Honey is a great starter book for children on the nature of honeybees and how honey is accomplished.

If you've ever seen a honey bear container at the store full of honey, you might just wonder how it got from a flower blossom into that container. Every spring when flowers open up "There is a sweet juice called nectar inside each flower." It isn't long before you'll see bees buzzing from one flower to the next. A bee's tongue is like a straw and they simply suck up the nectar. When they finish, they go home to their hives to give it to the other bees.When the bees get the nectar they put it into a "honeycomb" that is made of wax. The honeycomb has holes and the "Bees fill each hole with nectar" and wait for it to dry and turn into honey. Many of these hives are man made. Once the honey is made the beekeeper "takes the honeycomb out of the hive." You'll learn about the special clothing the beekeeper has to wear, how the honey is removed from the honeycomb, why he drains the honey, you'll see it being poured into jars, you'll finally see it on a store shelf, and will see a little girl pouring some on waffles.This is an excellent book that details how the nectar of flowers turn into honey. This is a very basic, but high interest, beginning nonfiction book that newly independent readers will enjoy. Bold full page photographic illustrations follow a titled paragraph. For example, when we learn about how a bee uses its straw-like tongue, the title is "Bees drink nectar." In the back of the book is an index and glossary. This is one title in the series, "Start to Finish." There are free downloadable educational resources on the publisher's website.This book courtesy of the publisher.

Very brief, but informative book. There are only a few pages, but it's on my second graders level and is educational.

Packed with great information

Excellent photos with a short description of each step of the journey that creates honey. Very satisfied with this book, worth the price, in my opinion.
