Written by Laurie Krebs, Published by National Geographic, September 2002

With rhyming text this picture book takes the reader through year of beekeeping from the point of view of a little girl helping her beloved grandpa, who's known in the town as the Beeman. Written in the style of "The House that Jack Built", the book touches upon all aspects of beekeeping.

"Here is his jacket, with zippered-up hood that covers his face just the way that it should when he visits his hives as the Beeman."

"Here are the house bees with swift-moving wings that dry up the nectar a worker bee brings, making honey for me and the Beeman."
