Beehives are some of the worlds most highly developed domiciles, and for good reasonbees themselves are complex, too. This text goes inside beehives to unlock the world of bees, exploring topics such as how they build hives, how they live and their organized social order. The science-focused text also covers the important role bees play in ecosystems and what we can do to help them survive. Colorful photos, diagrams, and fact boxes support learning and encourage readers to visualize fundamental concepts in biology.

Hector Haveck didn't ask for what happened to him. All he wanted was to get closer to his Robotics classmate Yésica for the summer. Instead he gained a few mind-bending but useless powers...and is now being hunted by a mysterious AI virus and his psychotic stepdad Klaus! As if that wasn't enough to keep him busy, Hector's also having dreams of himself embedded in important events scattered throughout history. Only his retired intelligence agent grandfather Paris seems to know anything about what's happening. It's not good, but things go from bad to worse when Hector realizes he's not just dreaming...he's remembering. Intertwining myths and legends of Atlantis, Men In Black, and CIA mind control programs with story arcs of Jack the Ripper, Nikola Tesla, Rasputin the Mad Monk, Napoleon, and Albert Einstein, Haveck: The First Transhuman explores virtually every major conspiracy theory as the true origins--and purpose--of Hector's powers are revealed.
