If you want to start a lesson on bees, here's your book. The Beeman tells the story of a little boy and his grandfather, the Beeman. There story is about beekeeping and honeybees. At the end of the story, there is more information and details on honeybees, beekeeping, honey and a recipe that uses honey.

Activities:
Take a look at the The Honey Files.
The Teacher's guide is free to download and has great activities for teachers and parents alike. There is also a video you can purchase but I have used these activities with The Beeman and The lifecycle of a honey bee.
