It is one of those tales that will make you reminisce about
your own youth of discovery as you read it to your kids. It
really is an adorable story with sweet illustrations. It is a

A Word from the Author
Tillsonbug is a small town in the county of Cadee. A perfect setting for three 10-year olds who have just started their summer break. Tia and her best friends, Vivian and Fil (who also happen to be twins) discover a swarm of honey bees. Thinking they are running away from something, the kids try to save them. They end up in a big, sticky mess. After some research and questions, the kids learn a few lessons about honey bees, including that swarming is a natural behaviour of these incredible insects.
