“A wonderful graphic novel.”—Neil Gaiman

Experience the life of a honeybee in this coming-of-age story about a bee named Nyuki, in this full-color graphic novel by Jay Hosler, perfect for curious kids who are fans of the Science Comics series.

Nyuki is a brand-new honeybee—and she has a lot of questions. Like:

When does a bee go through metamorphosis Why does a queen bee sometimes leave her hive And where does all this honey come from, anyway!

But Nyuki’s biggest question is, “What is this inner voice I hear, and why does it tell me to go forth to adventure

Follow Nyuki on a lifelong journey as she annoys her sisters, avoids predators, and learns to trust her inner voice as she masters the way of the hive.

And if you still have questions at the end, the back of the book uncovers even more mysteries about the lives of these incredible insects!
