When Olivia and Hamish see a smoky haze coming from their local park, they're ready to spring into action! But it's not a fire – it's a nest of Australian stingless bees that needs their help.

Join Olivia and Hamish as they learn about the bees in our backyards. From Blue-banded and Teddy Bear to Carpenter and Leaf-cutter bees, our two budding Bee Detectives discover how our native bees live, what they like to eat and the important work they do to pollinate plants.

Explore the wonders of Australia's native bees – and be inspired to become a Bee Detective, too. It's a real buzz!

Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 6-9.

Reviews for Bee Detectives

This is one of those wonderful information picture books for kids where the sharing adults will learn as much as the young readers. -- Lynne Babbage * CBCA Reading Time * Using a story format accompanied by charming illustrations that also put the bees under a magnifying glass so they can be more than squiggles on a page means that this has the potential to be used as a springboard to an intriguing investigation as students start to identify the various species and search for them in their own surroundings. -- Barbara Braxton * The Bottom Shelf blog * A fun, educational book recommended for children aged six to nine. * Gardening Australia *
