Insects

Published 18 April 2012

It’s as dark as night inside a beehive, an anthill or a termite mound. You can’t usually see what’s going on in there. But in this book you can use a press-out paper flashlight to look at insects inside their homes as if you’d been invited in. As you move the flashlight around, you’ll soon discover all the details hidden in each darkened picture. Find out which jobs the queen, worker and male ants do. Watch a bee develop from egg to larva to pupa to adult. Learn how bees organize their lives and see the beekeeper at work.
