Overview
An eighteen-wheeler rumbles to life in Florida, loaded with more than four hundred beehives. Destination? The almond orcahrds of California, where millions of blossoms are waiting.
Seven-year-old Joey J isn't just along for the ride. She's got work to do. With Uncle Mike and expert driver José, she races through pit stops to keep the bees from flying away, keeps them cool under the blazing sun, and holders her breath at the final inspection site.
Because Joey J knows one thing for sure: These bees matter. They're part of an expansive network of commercial honeybees crisscrossing the country to pollinate food for people all over the world.
After four long days, the team arrives at the orchards. As her bees fill the sky, Joey J can't help but wonder—do they have any idea how important they are?
With the lyricism and family relationships of favorites like WATERCRESS, this stunning debut sheds light on a little-known piece of our world’s food supply and celebrates the magnificent honeybee.
