the world"


The story of Zzum, a baby bee and her life inside the hive until she will become a young lady. When she is an adult, Zzum will give" birth" to the honey thanks to her collecting the "magic juice"(6-8 years). At the end of the book, the last few pages will explain the facts and the day by day life with our friends the bees.
