Bees in Loretta’s Bonnet by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loretta lives with her parents and helps out around the house, one of her chores is to collect firewood from the woodpile and take it inside to heat their home during the cold, winter months, but one day while she is doing this, she finds a strange tube when it falls out of her armful of wood. She asked what it was and found out that it was a nest for leafcutter bees, so she returned it to the woodpile and checked on it when the weather warmed up.

As she watches the nest, she sees round holes appearing, she knows that it is the bees leaving the nest, but she cannot find the bees anywhere, she also notices more holes in the leaves of her families rose plants, but there is still no sign of the bees, where could they all be?

This is a charming tale which talks about the importance of leafcutter bees and how to attract them to your own garden, just like Loretta is trying to do.
