Kathy Coatney

From the Farm to the Table Bees

Did you know bees dance? They buzz with secrets you’ll love to discover!

In this fascinating book, 35-year veteran photojournalist Kathy Coatney—an expert in agriculture—takes second and third graders on a journey into the incredible world of bees with Beekeeper Pat, also known as “the insect guy.” Before tending hives, Beekeeper Pat was a bike enthusiast, but one life-changing trade—a bike for a bee colony—sparked his lifelong passion for these amazing insects.

Filled with captivating photos and fun, easy-to-read text, kids will learn how bees communicate, work together, and play a crucial role in our food system.

Book 2 in the From the Farm to the Table series, uses second-grade vocabulary to educate and inspire young readers. Perfect for classrooms, budding beekeepers, and kids who love nature!

“I had absolutely no idea bees could be so interesting. Actually, I thought they’d be a very boring subject until I read Kathy Coatney’s “Beekeeper Pat and the Amazing Dancing Bees.” I especially like the way Ms. Coatney has incorporated second grade vocabulary words in an easy-to-read and enjoyable writing style. The photos are great, too, giving the reader an actual view inside the world of bees. I’ll be reading this story to my 2nd grader grandson during the holidays. He’s interested in so many different things, and this book will help expand his horizons. Thanks, Ms. Coatney. I plan to purchase your other books, as well.”

“Educational with great pictures my kids have the whole series. Love to read them to my young kids. Must have!”

“The second book in the Farmer Guy/Gal series, this is all about bees and honey. Each page contains a photograph with very interesting information about beekeeping and how bees live. The close-ups of the bees are amazing, and not sure if it’s only me, but the bees look kinda yummy!”
