Can we really help the bees? - Author Katie Daynes

An inspiring eco-story about bees, biodiversity, and the power of small actions
Can We Really Help the Bees? is a beautifully illustrated, story-driven book that introduces children to the environmental crisis facing bees — and why it matters to the entire planet. When a group of kids meet some very worried bees, they learn about pollination, food webs, and the urgent need for conservation. Together, they brainstorm simple, meaningful ways to protect pollinators and restore balance in nature.

Written by Katie Daynes in consultation with pollination expert Professor Jeff Ollerton, this book blends storytelling with real science in a hopeful and empowering way. A perfect tool to open conversations around sustainability and biodiversity with children aged 4 and up.

Why we (and schools) love it:

• Connects science with storytelling: Helps children understand pollination and biodiversity through a relatable narrative.
• Encourages environmental action: Empowers readers to make simple changes with real impact.
• Great for classrooms and eco-projects: A valuable addition to units on nature, sustainability, or Earth Day.
