Bibi misses nothing. Playing in the field next door with her best friends, the observant nine-year-old knows every bird, plant, and bug. So when she notices a huge drop in the number of honeybees, she fears something awful has happened.

And certain it is easy to grow healthy flowers for the busy buzzers in the family garden, she’s dismayed when her green thumb fails—but refuses to give up.

Can Bibi roll up her sleeves, try again, and succeed?
