New ideas, words and natural processes are explained with full colour illustrations. The use of, and value, of Latin in nature study is demonstrated with a simple example. In addition to honeybees their relatives the bumblebee are described. This section highlights some little known facts about these docile furry insects. Adults find the series layout and fun style satisfies children's curiosity and opens a new way of learning.

The Illustrations combined with fact activity and storytelling are a novel way to introduce nature study.
