Life on a farm sure is different than in the city! That’s what Don and Joyce quickly find out after they have a run in with a bee hive. After the stings have worn off, Don and Joyce’s grandma promises to tell them a story about a bee. Now, these stories aren’t about actual buzzing bees, but about life lessons such as “Bee Obedient,” “Bee Honest,” “Bee Truthful,” and “Bee Kind.” Each story features children going through life circumstances where they have to make a choice to listen to the bee buzzing a message in their ear or to ignore the bee and endure the consequences that are sure to follow. The seventeen chapters that follow tell of the adventures that Don and Joyce have on the farm, and each chapter concludes with one of Grandma’s “Bee Stories.” In Another Hive of Bees, the twins, Danny and Debbie, are finally old enough to spend a summer with Grandma and Grandpa just like Don and Joyce did. Their only special request for the summer is to hear some of Grandma’s “Bee Stories,” and Grandma is more than willing to share twenty-one new stories. Through these stories your children will learn timeless life lessons, and the Christian message rings loud and clear in each story. These “buzzing bees” are a great way to introduce the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. These two volumes have been around for the past sixty years, and I’m sure they will be around for children to enjoy for many, many years to come! – elise

We have quite a few "character" lesson books and these are a favorite. Definitely a great value. My 7 year old son begs to read these stories. Very timeless lessons. Interesting format with 8 year old twins visiting on their grandparents farm with their grandma telling them interesting and appropriate stories for the lessons they are learning. (We started with the second book just after our son returned from visiting his grandparents on their farm. I am now ordering the first book.)
