Markle, Sandra, The Case of the Vanishing Honeybees. pgs. 48. Millbrook Press, 2014. $29.27 INFORMATION

Albert Einstein once said that if all the honeybees disappeared from the earth, the human race would die within a few years. Never has this been more of a possibility than today. All across the world, when beekeepers open up their hives, they discover an extremely sad disorder called “Colony Collapse Disorder” where an entire colony will have disappeared. This book looks into the cause and presents the different theories and the research behind easing the issue and solving it for the future. It also goes into detail about how a colony works and what are the different jobs. With detailed photos, comprehensive diagrams, and additional side notes of information, this book could be used for reaching common core goals. Included are sources for additional information, author’s note, and a glossary. EL. MS. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public Library.
