The Case of the Vanishing Honeybees – A True STEM Mystery
Honey bees are among the planet’s most important insects — vital pollinators that help grow many of the foods we eat every day. But what happens when the bees suddenly disappear?
In The Case of the Vanishing Honeybees, award-winning author Sandra Markle takes readers inside the real-life mystery of colony collapse disorder (CCD) — the sudden disappearance of honey bees from hives around the world. First noticed by beekeepers in Europe and later in the United States, CCD left scientists scrambling for answers.
Follow the “bee doctors,” or apiologists, as they investigate clues, study bee behavior, and work to uncover what’s threatening these essential pollinators. With captivating photos, fascinating facts, and true scientific sleuthing, this book brings science to life and highlights why bees matter — and how we can help protect them.

Sizing tip: We often use European sizing along with US sizing to help guide you to the right fit. In many cases, if you know your child's height, this actually can help guide you better than age. We did the work for you so you do not have to convert- use this chart to find their height. Outerwear is made to layer over clothes- getting this right should be all the work you need to do. When looking at boots, use current tennis shoe sizing. Boot sizes are in T (Toddler) and Y (Youth)- not by age.
