Bumble Bees by Matthew Shorty

:

Once there was a family of bumble bees. There was Papa, Mama, Brother,Younger Brother and Sister Bee. They lived on top of a hill where the land was filled with flowers and other wonderful plants. The bumble bees lived there for several years.

Their uncle also lived with them. They lived on a farm where they would make honey all summer until fall came. Whenever Papa, Brother, Younger Brother and uncle would go out to gather nectar they would bring it home and they would make honey from it. But many other animals, such as humans and bears would steal their honey, and they would have to start all over again.
