The Dog Who Saved the Bees
Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selection. When an overworked beehive inspector seeks a detection dog to protect bees from a deadly disease, she teams up with a lonely dog who needs a loving home and a purpose. Cybil Preston needs a dog. But not just any dog. She needs a dog to help her with her work. Cybil is a beehive inspector who works to ensure the health of commercial beehives in Maryland. Hundreds of hives are shipped across the country as farmers need bees to pollinate their crops. Without the bees, there wouldn't be foods like apples, almonds, and strawberries. But the bees must be healthy to be shipped, and there's a deadly disease, foulbrood, that is highly contagious. If even one infected hive left the state, entire bee populations could be wiped out. Dogs, with their ultrasensitive sense of smell, can sniff out even the tiniest scent of foulbrood in a hive. A well-trained, focused detection dog can inspect 50 hives in 10 minutes. Work that would take Cybil an entire day to do. When Cybil meets Mack, an unruly and lonely dog, she wonders if she has found her canine colleague. Can rambunctious Mack be trained to meet this important challenge? Readers of all ages will enjoy this warmly illustrated true story of Cybil and Mack as they work to save the bees.

Wings to fly
The photos in this book came from many visits outdoors, to creeks and ponds and mountain trails and botanical gardens all across Southern California. I was able to capture these insects with my camera as they took a break from their flight because I walk trails quietly, patiently looking at each flower, on each stalk or stem, onto each leaf. Insects are easily frightened, and off they fly or run as your shadow crosses their eyes or as your breath reaches their sensitive hairs. Approach flowers slowly, carefully, with your camera at the ready. Step softly, for insects have survived for millions of years because they can sense the vibrations that approaching feet make. Beautiful life surrounds you, very small and normally unseen. Get outdoors and find it. Capture it with your camera so that when you return home you can enjoy the wonders that Earth has in store for you.
