"Bees, Shown to the Children" by Ellison Hawks is an educational book about the fascinating world of bees, likely written in the early 20th century. This publication is intended for young readers, introducing them to the life cycle, social structure, and importance of bees in nature. Through engaging illustrations and accessible language, the book aims to deepen children's understanding of these vital creatures, making them aware of their roles and behaviors within the hive. The opening of this work presents the author's childhood fascination with the active life of bees and sets the tone for a friendly, informative exploration of their world. Hawks whimsically likens a hive to a bustling city with various integrated roles, from the queen and workers to food gatherers and guardians. He begins by introducing the honey bee, explaining its anatomy and the basic types of bees found in a hive. This establishes a foundation for the upcoming chapters, where readers will learn more about the hive's construction, the bees' distinct responsibilities, and the complex yet harmonious life within a bee colony.
