Did you know that there are 20,000 known species of Bees? I know, wild right! What’s even wilder is that only a handful of those Bees produce honey that humans eat, and I mean a really small handful. To be exact, only 8 of the 20,000 Bee species produce the honey you find in your local shop, who would have thought? I know I didn’t. The truth of the matter is, Bees are a very diverse species of insect that contribute to our lives and the functioning of the world in many different, very important ways. On May 20^th, Bees and the many ways they help us out are going to be celebrated as it’s World Bee Day! So, in preparation for May 20^th, the very first Little Stewards series is all about the Buzztastic Bee.
