Follow honeybee rescuer Mr. Nelson as he expertly removes a colony of bees from Mr. Connery’s barn (with a vacuum!) and helps it relocate back to a hive. Photographs of Mr. Nelson’s relocation of the colony help bring the honeybee rescue to life.

School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2-In a photographic essay, readers learn what happens when a man finds bees in a place where they just don't belong. Mr. Connery keeps bees, and one day he discovers some of them have set up a new hive in a barn on his property. Mr. Connery calls a friend, Mr. Nelson, to help him solve this problem. Harasimowicz's very interesting photographs show the whole process, from discovery to relocation. In beautiful full color, these perfectly show off the bees and their hives-both their own work, and the human-made hives. These images also show the specialized tools the men use to both capture and keep the bees, including a device that Mr. Nelson constructed that works like a vacuum cleaner. The text is simple but very engaging, describing the process clearly. A book like this could be an excellent opportunity to show young readers steps in a process and that even though bees can sting, they are also useful and pleasant creatures to be protected and not feared. VERDICT This excellent piece of reporting would be a great addition to any library serving elementary readers.-Debbie Tanner
