Princess Bee and the Boy Book

An Australian Native Stingless Bee Story

Princess Bee and the Boy is the story of a curious boy who discovers the gentle magic of Australia’s native stingless bees and falls in love with their unique honey. But when he starts destroying more and more hives in his hunt for the ‘liquid gold’, the bees, birds and animals grow worried. They know that if all the bees are gone, the plants will struggle to make seeds and the country could turn to dust. Princess Bee of the last hive flies out on a desperate quest to stop him, but how can one scared little black bee win against this giant two-legged?

This engaging, thoughtful and beautifully illustrated story will appeal to nature-lovers of all ages.
