520    "Bumble bees are rather charming, buzzing from flower to 
       flower with their furry black and yellow bodies. Depending
       on where you live, the bees you see might be escapees from
       a greenhouse or "bumble bee factory." They might even be 
       descendants of stowaways on Viking ships. Thanks to humans,
       bumble bees are world travelers, spreading to countries 
       that never hosted bumble bees before. For centuries these 
       insects pollinated our crops. But are they pushing out 
       native pollinators? Why are some species of bumble bees 
       flourishing whereas others are floundering, to the point 
       of possibly disappearing forever? Dana Church's narrative 
       nonfiction explores these questions and tells the tale of 
       bumble bees' history with humans. She highlights the 
       interconnectedness of the two species, and touches on the 
       topics of endangerment and extinction, the impact on human
       agriculture, bumble bee habitats and ecology, and the 
       current crisis of bee protection. With a call to action 
       for young people to become knowledgeable about our natural
       world and involved in its preservation, it's a hopeful and
       accessible guide to our history with these teddy bears of 
       the insect world"--|cProvided by publisher.
