Detective Beezworth & Matchstick #1: Captain Stinger and the Great Pollen Heist

Someone has stolen Beezytown's pollen, and every clue points to the notorious Captain Stinger!

Their investigation leads them through hidden trails, secret hideouts, and unexpected encounters as they search for the missing pollen and the truth behind the theft. Along the way, readers discover that every mystery has more than one side—and that understanding others can be just as important as catching the culprit.

Inside this issue you'll discover:

• Why pollen is essential to a healthy hive
• How honey bees gather and store pollen
• The important jobs performed by worker bees
