Everyone needs to know the importance of these little pollinators and the consequences of living without insects. Through her insight and weird rap she solves this complex problem. The name Melissa comes from the Greek work "μέλισσα" which means Honey Bee. The voice in the book is the voice of the bees, beekeepers and our children who will be dependent upon our present choices for their future sustainability.
