Honey…Honey…Lion!: A Story from Africa
by Jan Brett
The honeyguide and the honey badger work as partners to find and eat honey. The honeyguide shows the honey badger where the honey is, and the honey badger breaks the honeycomb open with its claws. Then the two animals share the honey. One day, the honey badger decides not to share any of the honey with the honeyguide. Honeyguide scolds Badger all the way back to his burrow, but he ignores the honeyguide and goes to sleep. The next morning Honeyguide decides to teach Badger a lesson. Honeyguide leads Badger over the roots of the baobab, across the water hole, over the termite mound, through the papyrus, and further and further on. The Badger wonders how far he will have to go, but he tells himself that he cannot wait to the get to the honey, so he keeps on following Honeyguide. Does the Honeyguide lead Badger to honey? Will Badger learn his lesson and never refuse to share the honey again?

The Best Beekeeper of Lalibela: A Tale from Africa
by Cristina Kessler and illustrated by Leonard Jenkins
Almaz likes to taste the honey from the different sellers at the open-air market. She decides that one day her honey will be the best at the market. One day, Almaz goes to visit the men who keep the bees, and she tells them that she also wants to make honey. The men all laugh at her and tell her that beekeeping is only for men. This makes Almaz so upset that runs into a priest. He asks her what is wrong, and after she tells him, he says that she can keep bees if she wants to. One of the men tells Almaz to climb the tree to bring a hive down, but she cannot make it up the tree. The men laugh at her as she leaves, and they think that she has given up on beekeeping. Then three months later, Almaz starts selling honey at the market, and every one decides to buy her beautiful honey. Then one Saturday, Almaz is not at the market. Then she misses two more. When the priest goes to check on her, he finds that the bee hive she made in a little mud cone on the ground has been invaded by ants. Will Almaz be able to figure out a way to keep the ants out of her hive? Will she be able to sell honey at the open-air market again? Will she ever achieve her goal of being the best beekeeper of Lalibela?

Honey in a Hive
by Anne Rockwell and illustrated by S.D. Schindler
This nonfiction book is all about bees and the way that they make honey. The book talks about the different kinds of bees and what their jobs are within the hive, how bees are able to find the nectar and pollen they need to feed the other bees and make honey, how one bee is able to tell the other bees where a field of flowers are, how the nectar becomes honey, and how the queen leaves to create other hives of bees. The book also tells you how you can tell what kind of flowers the bees gather the nectar from, and at the very end of the book are some more facts about bees and honey.

A Taste of Honey
by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace
One day Lily opens the honey jar, looks and sniffs, and touches the honey, and then she asks her Poppy some questions. She asks, “Where does honey come from?” Her poppy tells her it came from the jar, but she asks him “But before that?” Lily’s Poppy tells her that it came from the store, from a truck, from a honey farm, from a honey harvest, from a hive, and from a honeycomb. Lily then asks him “before that?,” but he does not have an answer. Will Lily find out where honey comes from? The different pages also have a lot of information about the different steps in the honey making process. There are illustrations and explanations of each step of the process. At the end of the book is a honey game that can be played using the book and some honey facts.
