Much has happened since the start of our children's nature book project about our bee Izzie Lizzie!
Work on the book, now with the hard-won title of Izzie Lizzie Busy Bee has been swiftly moving along and we have had some daily catch-ups over the past week to really focus on what we want to capture in the story.
Spring is unmistakably in the air and even feels like summer with the heatwave over the Bank Holiday weekend! Bees are noticeably buzzing in symphony with the chirping garden birds and a gentle breeze towards the evening has been welcome.
It's a new stage in the seasonal calendar and, as promised earlier in the year, now seems a good time for a few more details about our lovely book.
So here we go..
#1 - Who is the book for?
It’s for young readers to enjoy the country scenes, share in the adventures of a foraging honey bee, and appreciate the significance of the landscape providing food for the bees, and ultimately us as well.
#2 - What next?
The book will be launched on the first day of this year's National Honey Show 26th October 2023.
