This little non-fiction book is for kids aged 5 and up. It explains who beekeepers are and what they do throughout the year. The writing is simple enough for kids to understand (you can read it to them or make them read it themselves). There’s some repetition that helps kids memorize it better. 

The font is of the right size and neatly placed to the side. The illustrations are vibrant, colorful, and done to resemble children’s drawings. The thick layering of watercolors with simple outlines makes the bees and the beekeepers adorable. 

The book also emphasizes how bees are handled with care, and there’s enough honey left in the combs for bees to eat during winter. I love that the beekeeper is a woman. 

To summarize, Beekeepers and What They Do is an educative and informative book with adorable illustrations kids will love. The information is just right to not overwhelm little ones. 

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Clavis Publishing and am voluntarily leaving a review.
